Hogan Family in Denial?

TMZ put up video of Linda Hogan in a 2005 drag race with daughter Brooke in the passenger seat. After the race, Linda boasted, "I love it. The rush, the speed on the road ... racing in between all the cars, dodging the cops. It's awesome."


Just hours before Nick Hogan turned himself in on Nov. 7, ABC Action News in Tampa Bay, Fla., confronted Linda about her reckless words after the race. She's denying she ever said it, although it's clearly her on the tape, she now says, "I never said that ... I would never have said that."

Nick Hogan says he's not driving anymore. "There's no reason for me to drive. I wake up, we eat, and I drive with them to the hospital." The Hogans say that speed wasn't a factor in the John Graziano accident, instead claiming that Nick's badly injured pal, John Graziano, failed to wear a seatbelt.

UPDATE: The State of Florida has finally suspended the license of Nick Hogan, after his horrific car accident that critically injured friend John Graziano. Hogan's license was stripped by state officials just days after he was booked on reckless driving charges. The police report shows that Nick did have alcohol in his blood at the time of the accident.

182. Work on the street is that the Hulkster has turned all his assets into a corporate entity under the name of Hogan's Holdings. He has also changed ownership of his Los Angeles homes to his daughter Brooke. All this to avoid civil liability in future lawsuits. He was able to do this in large part because of the time lapse between the original crash and charges finally being filed. And you thought he was spending time at the hospital concerned about John's welfare. Nothing could be further from the truth. I wonder if the rest of you feel as angry about this as I do. Sharon

183. to #175 Nikky, you rapped up their show perfectly! I pray for John Graziano's family. I am sure the Hogans are going through a nightmare also. But in my opinion, they are making some major mistakes as parents.

Mistake #1 - Buy your son the fastest souped up car u can find at age 16 and let him "hit the road".

Mistake #2 - If he gets 2, or 3 speeding tickets, just ignore it and hope for the best! (Don't consider taking his car off the road) Let him get in more trouble

Mistake #3 - Teach your children about racing and "outrunning the cops" (as linda states). Its all in fun and games

Mistake #4 - If anything happens, never take responsibility, DENY DENY DENY, then hide your money and put all of your assets in your daughters name.

I truly do feel sorry for the Hogan children. This is what they were taught and John Graziano is the outcome

Mistake #3 -

185. No one forced the young man into the car and had he been wearing a seat belt things would definitely be different.





A SEATBELT WOULD NOT HAVE SAVED JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

188. 110. God Bless John in his fight for life but it is a fact that he was not wearing a seatbelt. If the situation were reversed and someone had ran a red light & inadvertantly smashed into his car....he still wasn't wearing a seatbelt. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt. Who the hell gets into a car anymore and doesn't put it on. ESPECIALLY driving in a vehicle that is obviously made and used to going high speeds, even if they weren't speeding at the time of the accident. The Hogans aren't blaming him by saying that he wasn't wearing his seatbelt. IT IS A FACT!!

And it is a FACT that a seatbelt would NOT have saved John.

189. 136. Wearing a seatbelt would NOT have mattered. John was thrown back against the seat. His head slammed into the headrest. Headrest broke. Metal posts from headrest forced into the base of the skull. Poor guy lived through TWO tours of duty in Iraq and came home safe. One night with Nick Hogan. Not so lucky.

193. Yaknow this tape doesn't surprise me. Not anymore anyway because this family just continues to show what their really all about. Constantly lying, blaming others for their problems and portraying themselves as a close knit family and now SURPRISE! their getting a divorce. Brook to you I say, your the only one who has any talent in this family so just get away from these people before they drag you down.

194. Here's the deal, her son likes to drink and drive, the apple probably did not fall far from the tree...I am sure the mother was drinking when she made the statement 2 years ago. The daughter was in the car, they were video taping it while they were racing and then her drunk ass probably did the interview. Why is it that Britney Spears gets on the front page and goes to court over driving with her son on her lap but this mother, who takes her daughter with her to street race and then does an interview....why isn't she in court for child endangerment and also the contributing factor she has been in her sons life? For the last 2 years, it has gone from bad to worse...all the while, mommy dearest egging the behavior on. Sick, sick, sick!!! The dad fights for entertainment as a kid fights for his life....after dad's money from entertaining affords his son, daughter and best of all....WIFE....the ability to take joy rides, break the law and then lie on television...hmmm....amazing how little concern this family has show for themselves and worst of all others...Why doesn't this family try to take the money they have, scale down their own lifes and try making a difference in others lives based on the tragic events? How about taking time to create an organization to assist families of handicapped children get appropriate transportation, what about helping lower income familys get even one car, to drive to work....pull together, the daugther sings, put together an event, raise money, donate for a cause...the dammage has already been done, pick up, get out of divorce court and walk out of this mess the way you walked into it...TOGETHER!!!!!

195. I can't believe Hulk and Linda let Nick drive such a powerful car, since he is so young. Even though he is supposed to have some so-called driving experience on the track, he proved that he is still immature and irresponsible. I would respect Linda more if she would have just admitted in that interview that she did say that on the DVD. Unfortunately, since they are celebs, I'm sure he'll get away with it. If he did get jail time, I wonder if he would have the guts to wear his ridiculous "grill" and think he's all that.
