Hulk: I Took the High Road -- Didn't Slash Wife

Posted Apr 16th 2009 9:10AM by TMZ Staff

Hulk Hogan says he was taken out of context when he was quoted as saying, "I totally understand OJ"... referring to the conflict with his ex-wife Linda. But Hulk's explanation may have made things worse.

Last night in Clearwater, FL the Hulkster said his Rolling Stone interview was a 3-day long affair, in which he said he was really the anti-OJ Simpson. But here's the thing. Last night, he explained, "I didn't do the OJ Simpson thing. I took the high road."

The high road -- not slitting your wife's throat.

46. I think it's exactly as Hulk said. I don't believe he was bad mouthing his wife. He was saying what he didn't do. He took the high road. Appearantly the interview was extensive and someone took a snipet of something small he said and blew it way out of proportion to sell magazines; but incidentally TMZ being the quality publication it is hasn't been hurt by the mountain out of a mole hill.....that's your business like other gossip rags...you make your money on this kind of stuff too. Bon Appetit.

47. And who is surprised that Nick is the way he is? Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. HH has made his way in life by bullying and steroid using. No wonder his wife wanted out!! She couldn't take it anymore. If anyone let's this idiot on TV again after 'this' fiasco, shame on them. Anyone who can use the OJ story in any relation to themselves, is one SICK person. Hope the Goldmans speak loud and often!!!! Hope Linda has bodyguards and people watching out for her. Not that he would have the 'balls' to do it (Steroid users have none I'm told) but he could get one of his Roid buddies to take care of business. What a disappointment for all the people who idiolized him in his hey-day!! Done done done. Sliter away hulk....no one wants to see you let alone hear you. Put a period at the end of this and move on....

48. THERE IS THAT BIMBO AGAIN HANGING ON HIS SIDE! DOESNT SHE HAVE A JOB OR IS SHE TOO ON HULK'S PAYROLL!

49. Big deal, like anyone, including TMZ writer losers, have said something like that. I luaghed when Mel Gibson ripped on the Jews, I laughed when Kramer said racial slurs, I laughed when Dana White told that woman reporter to F off, and I laugh at this, it is the media making a big deal out of nothing. The high road, yeah he did not commit murder.

I am more hip, the media should be Benoit'ed.

50. Besides the blond hair, Jennifer does not look like Brooke. Whomever says that is blind or a moron.

51. Linda is a selfish, immature B* ITCH! Although Hulk's comment wasn't nice, anger can make you say stupid things, dosen't mean they do it. If that were true my own hubby would be dead several times over. It's only speaking out in anger and frustration.
The only reason Linda was able to have the life style she has/had is because her husband worked hard for the money. She did NOTHING except raise two idiot kids. That in itself speaks volumns. She needs to get a job and support herself.

52. People are just ready to jump on the Hulkster because of his sons accident. If you would be honest you could understand what he meant. He was angry and trying to make a point. He was in no way condoning what OJ did. I understand it would be upsetting to Nicoles family to hear because it is personal to them, but come on, you know what/how he meant it. I am getting so sick of political correctness in the states.

53. When a guy sees everything he's worked his whole life for being drained away by a greedy wife and her scumbag lawyers, not to mention having to tolerate her boytoy driving around in Hulks cars, that's bound to cause anyone to feel extreme anger. He never said he condoned what O.J did. This is just another example of one statement being taken out of context in order to cause controversy. Hogan has every right to be frustrated at a corupt legal system that allows lawyers to drag civil disputes out in order to pad their bank accounts. This could have been settled months ago.

54. Jeez...leave the poor guy alone. He's hurting - some punk's living in his house and driving both his cars and his wife. Like no one's ever said something stupid or made a "gee I wish they were dead" comment about an ex...BFD

55. HULK HOGAN AND HIS SON NICK ARE BOTH TOTAL ASSHOLES!

56. HE WOULDN'T KNOW A HIGH ROAD IF IT HIT HIM IN THE FACE. NO WONDER THE MARRIAGE BROKE UP. NOW HE'S ACTING LIKE A JACK-ASS. LINDA WAS HIS LEGAL,MARRIED WIFE FOR A LONG TIME, AND THE MOTHER OF HIS KIDS. AND HE CHOOSES TO HASSLE HER ABOUT A SETTLEMENT. GET SOME RESPECT FOR THE YEARS SHE WAS YOUR WIFE, AND STOP THE HATE. MEN ARE THE ACTUAL MONEY-GRUBBERS. IN DIVORCES SUDDENLY THEY SCREAM AND WHINE THAT EVERYTHING IS "THEIRS". LINDA WAS NOT THE HIRED HELP, GET IT ? A MARRIAGE IS A 50-50 WAY OF LIFE. IF YOU HAVE NO CHARACTER YOU'LL ACT LIKE "HULK", WHICH IS TACKY IN THE EXTREME. I HOPE LINDA IS HAVING FUN AND GETTING SOME COMFORT FROM WHATEVER BOY TOY SHE WANTS.....AND I HOPE SHE GETS HER , YES, "HER" MONEY.

57. WOMEN OFTEN HAVE THEIR WHOLE LIVES SCREWED UP BY BEING THE EMOTIONAL AND DAILY SUPPORT TO KIDS AND HUSBAND, THEN ARE EXPECTED TO "WALK AWAY WITH NOTHING". USUALLY AFTER THEIR YOUTH WAS USED UP ON THEIR FAMILY. F-YOU TO ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT SHE WAS JUST A NOTHING.

58. dude should slice her where it really hurts

59. Hulk is SO STUPID! This broad rode him until he was too old to be an exceptional earner anymore. She's taking him for all she can get and now all she wants is a Boy Toy - no Viagara necessary. She's nothing but a straight up comic-book Ho. He shoulda taken the High Road and divorced her skanky butt and moved on. But noooo - Hulk hadda go open his mouth and let his dumb brains spill out. Idiot.
