Hulk Hogan -- I Know Why O.J. Did It

Posted Apr 15th 2009 5:18PM by TMZ Staff

Hulk Hogan thinks O.J. Simpson may have had a point -- when he slit his ex wife's throat.

Hulk Hogan & O.j.Simpson

Hulk sees a parallel between the plights of poor O.J. and himself. Hulk just told Rolling Stone: "You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it."

Kato, your room is ready...

UPDATE: Linda Hogan's rep just issued a statement: "We have always maintained that the fear that Linda has had to live with comes from the rage and instability much too often associated with pro wrestlers." The statement goes on: "Linda and her family are taking these recent homicidal comments seriously."

The statement concludes by saying Linda's attorney is weighing his legal options.

UPDATE #2: Hulk's attorney, David R. Houston, tells us, "Page 6 only quoted a very small portion of the Rolling Stone article, not the statement in its entirety. He said that he understands the frustration that can lead to that sort of activity but he definitely does not condone it. He is grounded in his faith and a belief in a higher power and does not believe in violence for any reason."

31. I can see why he's angry, but I also can see why she is afraid of him.

He isn't homeless and probably has a couple of fancy cars, so he isn't destitute. She is just in the house at this point. I'm sure when all the dust settles, the whole 50/50 thing will apply. That is called marriage.

He is with someone also, and initialy it was one of his daughter's best friends, so she has reason to be angry, too. He seems like a kid who got caught with a hand in the cookie jar and is mad at everyone else because theree were consequesnces.

32. I always understood why OJ did it -- didn't condone it, but understood what he must have been thinking. Ex-wives should not flaunt it in front of close to the edge exes. Know what I mean?

33. He must have been kidding... or he was being sarcastic or just venting at the expense of someone's boy-toy and meant to tell us one only does an OJ if one's really mentally unbalanced and that all The Little Hulksters should not do this at home.

34. Who can even stand listening to Chris Rock's grating whiny misogynistic babble. No one that's why his career is gone

37. Most divorces have such frustrations and I'm certain most have said at some point they wanted to kill the other one! However, when it comes to divorce proceedings the best advise is to keep your mouth shut.

38. I always figured terry Bollea to be stupid but for him to even say "he get's it" concerning OJ simpson is beyond stupid. It is heartless and totally ignorant. I am no fan of either of the Bolleas and for sure Linda is making a total ass of herself with that 19 year old kid. But what it all proves once and for all is how truly stupind he and linda really are and how they have raised their kids...with total lack of morals and heart. As for this crap that a wife deserves nothing in a divorce, grow up. Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman did not deserve to be butchered like they were...and I understand the anger divorce brings but I have never wished an ex dead. The best thing that can happen with all of this is for Brooke and Nick to finally take a damn good look at both of their so called parents and see that they are both to blame and get on with their lives, if possible. Terry Bollea doesn't get it....Nicole and Simpson were already divorced...she was not living in his house on Rockingham. But yet Bolleas says he can understand why simpson killed her...while their 2 children were asleep in her house...he is just as sick as Simpson. Oh and he cannot stand that Linda's toy plays with his toys now...Terry has his girlfriend and has had many in the past. What's good for the goose is good for the gander Terry!

40. I usually let my opinion go left unsaid.....just couldn't do it this time. Hulk what the hell are you thinking? We all know divorce is a nightmare. I get it you are getting the short end of the stick. But to compare yourself to OJ, and his innocent victims....WOW, I really hope this is an example of you trying to be funny, just with absolutley no class. First of all, your divorce is really just getting started, OJ and Nicole had been settled for some time. He had the mansion, she was living in a condo. She was not parading men or his belongings in front of him. And Ron Goldman was a total and complete innocent bi-stander doing a good deed for someone he was an associate of. How you can compare your situation to the visuous and terrible death of two innocent people is unconscionable. I really hope that you have been misquoted.

41. A lot of people get it. It's the acting upon it that makes it wrong.

42. WOW, Linda sure wasn't worried about all the rage and instability associated with it while she was spending Hulks hard earned millions for all of those years!!!!!! She sure didn't mind him wrestling then.

43. Man...Hulk if you are reading this. Seriously you are the man. That woman can be thankful she ever met you just like Ric Flair said on his Highspots-Interview. This stuff keeps on happening in this world. You are to good of a person, your accomplishments in your life are endless. Don´t forget what you gained in your life, millions and millions of Hulkamaniacs. Plus i don´t really think that woman is that much good looking in the first place that you have to think about her the entire time. It´s great what you did for your daughter and you also treated your son well, this was just unfortunate with the accident. But life is no coincidence as you know and so keep on living the dream. We all know what you meant, i mean it´s tough, but you are better than 99% of all the other people so stay strong and try to enjoy other stuff if you know what i am talking about.

44. Nicole Brown didn't do anything wrong. Linda may be pushing it but not Nicole Brown.
Hey, people are emotional and don't want their noses rubbed in it.
