Celebrity Justice
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.

61. I say we nominate the name "Hogan" as being a replacement for the word "Idiot".

It can be used in a sentence thusly:

"I was a real Hogan for driving home from the bar last night"

62. So typical of this family. They take no responsibilty for anything. Not only did Linda say what she did on that tape I have seen her on another tape standing on a sidewalk laughing with pleasure as she watched her son Nick peal out from his parking spot on to a busy street out into traffic. The apples don't fall far from the trees.

63. It's not about being in denial. She's been caught on tape, in an interview, lying about what she'd said on tape earlier. She was probably drunk or stoned on the tape and doesn't remember saying such crap. They're all a bunch of white trash losers. The Dog Bounty Hunter family tho, they lead the white trash parade. I'm totally white, but you gotta call them as you see them....

64. These people are in complete denial or maybe they’re just too stupid to admit it.

They are a sorry lot for sure.

65. This family is just like the majority of celebrity families. They're given anything they want until they self destruct. It's sad when they start to believe their own made-up celebrity image. Get over yourselves Hogan's and start contributing to society instead of contaminating it.

66. Markstudy: Good work.

I can see you're a gear head like my husband. Thanks for dropping some knowledge on those of you don't know what a car can be capable of doing.
Cars can be very difficult to control unless you have a clue WHAT your driving.

I think these parents with money should have their heads checked to hand over a car that takes off like a bullet.

67. This interviewer was PLAIN STUPID for not having the tape right there with him when he confronted Linda about saying that! STUPID MAN!!!! If you had the tape right there, she wouldn't have been able to LIE TO YOU DUMMY!!!

70.

Your car takes 18 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph

Nick's car can go from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds

71. Whether he had a seatbelt on is immaterial...This is a case of Gross Negligence on the part of the Driver...He is fully culpable in this case...As far as her admission, there is clear evidence that she made this immature statement...she would be better off owning up to it and then show some form of remorse for her part in what could have been a far worse tragedy.

72. # 10, it's NOT being "haters", people are just FED UP with watching the Hogan's antics on tv, denying their son's responsibility for this horrific crash, and them having the NERVE to blame it on the victim that's in a coma, is just more of their ridiculous behaviour! They've raised some rotten kids, that have NO consideration for others! And what do we expect, the apple does'nt fall far from the tree, and Linda is one TWISTED TREE! What a bunch of LOONIES!

74. You have to understand that Linda is a self obsessed stereotypical blonde bimbo...her IQ is located within her rather large bossom...Other than that she has no true intelligence or even common sense

75. What the reporter shoul dhave done is bring a copy of said video to the interview so that he could play it infront of Nick, Terry and Linda after she claims that she never said that and that she would never say anything like that. As far as contributing factors to the accident, a combination of speed and not wearing a seatbelt. If NIck had been driving in a safe manner and his friend was wearing a seatbelt, things might have turned out different. Instead, his friend is in the hospital and Nick might be going to jail, although I douobt it because celebrities have money and money is the factor that speaks louder than anything and that will be the only thing that keeps his behind from seeing anykind of long term jail time.
