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.

78. Dear Hogans,

Thank you for letting me know that if I don't wear my seatbelt my car will unexplainably speed up & slam into a tree wrecking it beyond all recognition! I did not know this! I wish that my car dealership or some consumer safety group would have let me in on this very important pieve of info!!! DAMN!

Sincerely,
One Sarcastic Bitch

P.S.
Linda, if your going to lie, make sure there isn't a video of it! It makes your words just a tad less credible. Don't get me wrong...I believe every word you & your dumba$$ family says!

Lastly, can we check the visitors list for the last month & see just how much you or your family has visited John? I'd really like to know. Thanks!

79. u people are sounding so hard/cruel/mean/non-compassionate/unforgiving as i have ever heard. please do not get out the stones. i like hogan, and feel he is a honest hardworking man for his family, and he loves his family. i think they are all deeply hurt by this. u never know what in life can or will happen to you are the ones u love. be careful, show some compassion, it could, really,,, it could just happen to u too in some shape form or fashion. i had four close friends that were KILLED in a fast tragic car accident in high school. my friends did not have to get in that car....or ride with that person. it cost them their lives and their family and friends great pain b/c of loosing them, some responsibility has to be on that person too for making a bad choice. NO ONE IS PERFECT. i would ad, to the hogan family, seek out the Lord in ur times of trouble and stay with Him, he will see u though it all and make ur life the better for it. i never heard the Lord mentioned on their show.

80. I wonder what John would want his friend Nicks punishment to be? I somehow think he wouldn't have such evil intentions as some of you. Karma is a bitch to those who wish evil on anyone.

Posted at 11:28AM on Nov 20th 2007 by Just my opinion.

81. If I were that young mans parent I would take the licence away and make him pay for all the damages he has done to the other family, and there would be no more racing until he showed me that he could be responsible and show some respect . There is a place for racing called a race track not on a public road where there are so many people that have no idea what is going on when you race by them. That is the problem with society you get a celebrity out there on the road racing or driving under the influence, its easy for them to just pay for there crime but someone that has no money they get thrown in jail right off. My opinion is the celebrities should get punished and pay for there crimes not just money wise send them to jail and have them go through all the procedures that regular hard working people go throuogh. My opinion is Cebrities don't have a real job like the factory workers or people that work in stores or hospitals, they have no idea how hard it is to work and keep the family going.

82. I cant believe they are saying its the friends fault for not wearing a seatbelt. Its the drivers responcibility to make sure passengers are seat belted or you dont drive!!!!!!! How can this family allow them to visit when the hogans are blaming this boy for his own problems,instead of taking responsibility of their own. Makes you wonder about the injured boys parents....my God!!!!!

83. HE WAS NOT SPEEDING, THE CAR THEY WERE DRIVING IN WAS DESTROYED. THEY WERE GOING ALOT FASTER THEN 60 , TRY ABOUT 80 OR 90. THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE STATE IT WAS , HAD HE NOT BEEN DRIVING AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. THE POLICE DEPARTMETN STATED 60, WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE? ARE THEY FOR REALS, DO THEY REALLY THINK WE BELIEVE THAT.

84. This is a tragedy for everyone involved, but this family really needs
to accept some responsibility here. I'm sure they are scared about what
is going to happen to Nick, but they need to quit making everything
about them. Good for them that they are going to the hospital
everyday, it could be your son laying in that bed. Poor John is never going to have any quality of life. It bothers me when I hear them say he is improving everyday, I feel like
they are trying to mislead everyone. From what the family has said,
this young man is still on life support and will require advanced
care for the rest of his life. I used to work with patients with
closed head injuries, it is so sad watching these families hopes
slowly fade. The families come in everyday in the beginning with the hope that there loved one will be that 1 in a million that will wake up
one day and talk to them. Eventually when they realize that it is not
going to happen, they start to question whether or not they did the
right thing by keeping them alive. Everyone should say a prayer for John and his family. The Hogans need to get over themselves!

85. For those of you out there who don't know this, NICK'S DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED FOR A YEAR yesterday by Florida authorities for drinking and driving. I'm sure he stopped driving in advance on the advice of his attorneys. I love the way they try and do damage control in advance by telling the public he's no longer driving. Yeah, right.

86. I hope now John G mother see and hears how the HOGAN FAMILY blames her brain dead son for the SO CALLED ACCIDENT. Wake up lady!!! They only paid your condo to keep your from SUING THEM. As it is the taxpayers are paying for your son's hospital stay. The hogans should PAY and NICK should get PRISION TIME.
Frist Hulk was shown saying Thank God his Brat wasnt speeding..NEWS FLASH HOGAN..HE WAS STREET RACING..!!!!!
Linda says she likes the rush. Well her Son manage to Rush John G right into a palm Tree.
Brooke was saying John G is recovering. Umm Blinkin your eyes once in awhile is not Recovery
and last Nick said John G bump his head. but his body is fine..John Bump his head so hard he nearly lost his HEAD. but lays as a vegatable now
So you see HOW lying is common in this Family's life..IT'S AN EVERYDAY THING.!!!! ......Florida is this what your PROUD of. ???

87. Oh I did forget a couple of things.. There's reports that the Hogans have shifted monies to offshore accounts. and are moving money so that , if sued they wont be broke.....CAN WE SAY OJ SIMPSON...

P.S. Is John G to blame for NICK underage drinking...

88. Even if Nick wasn't excessively speeding - I read one place it was only about 20 miles per hour over the limit. There roads were wet from rain. Speeding of any kind on a wet road is reckless. And it was Nick's car. He was responsible for any and all passengers. He should have made sure his friend was wearing a seatbelt.

Anyway they try to cut it, it was Nick's fault.

89. "i wake up in the morning, get something to eat, get in the car with them, & go to the hospital." haha. as if. like he invests that much time at the hospital. it's ok if he doesn't, but why lie about it. it makes him look insincere. as for the rest of the family, they made their millions from pro-wrestling. the trashiest events ever to air on television.
