Linda Hogan Hulk Hogan is a ‘Good Father’ … Grandkids Will Never Know How Great He Is!!!
Published
Linda Hogan‘s feud with her daughter Brooke has her defending Hulk Hogan … calling him a great father who doesn’t deserve to be iced out from Brooke’s life.
In a shocking twist, Hulk’s ex-wife tells TMZ … Brooke cutting off the family for “bogus, selfish, childish reasons” will have long-term consequences — ensuring her kids never realize their grandfather is the great Hulk Hogan.
Linda says she’s sad she won’t be a grandmother to them … but, she wants the kids to know how big a star their granddad was.
LH admits Hulk was “a s****y husband sometimes” … but, she felt he was “always a good father” that “spent probably over $3 million on Brooke’s career with no questions asked.”
Linda says Hulk always supported the family with everything they ever wanted … and, while it’s sad he chose to cheat on her, he was mostly a “fantastic” person.
However, Linda worries his grandchildren will never truly know him or his accomplishments … including the international stardom he achieved in places like Europe and Asia.
She adds, “Our marriage didn’t work out but what Brooke’s doing to us is completely unprecedented, unexpected and unfair and not true. Hulk Hogan, my ex, has been really distraught and saddened by her distance just as I and her brother Nick have as well.”
Linda goes on to say she thinks Brooke’s trying to keep her family from diving into her alleged party girl past … adding it seems she’s trying to turn over a new leaf and act like a totally different person.
LH wishes Brooke and her family the best … but adds, “After what Brooke has done and to punish us and torture us, to get married and to have twins and to not call us, the damage is already been done. I don’t think she could hurt us anymore, so she can just march on her merry way with her family. I wish them well but she has left a path of destruction.”
This is a pretty huge change from past statements Linda’s made about the Hulkster BTW … a couple days ago, she referred to him as a “liar” and “sex addict” in a video calling her family a mess. She’s clearly not forgiving him for cheating on her — but, it looks like she’s defending his parenting skills.
ICYMI … Brooke has claimed this week her mother was physically and verbally abusive toward her when she was a kid — an allegation her mother has denied, firing back that Brooke is conflating strict parenting with abuse.
Sounds like Linda’s still in Hulk’s corner about some things … and, she thinks Brooke needs to forgive her dad.
Val Kilmer, star of “Top Gun,” “The Doors” and several other classic films, died Tuesday in Los Angeles, according to his family.
Val’s daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, told the New York Times — which first reported the death — her dad died of pneumonia. He had been diagnosed with a throat tumor back in 2014, and had to be rushed to UCLA Medical Center in 2015 to treat severe bleeding in his throat. The tumor was the result of oral cancer.
Val famously played the lead role of rock star Jim Morrison in the film about The Doors, and also starred as Bruce Wayne in “Batman Forever.”
The cancer eventually went into remission — his daughter told NYT he’d fully recovered — and Val, a devout Christian Scientist, attributed that directly to his faith. He had reportedly rejected many forms of modern Western medicine.
Val told The Christian Post in 2017, “Many, many people have been healed by prayer throughout recorded history. And many, many people have died by whatever was modern medicine.”
The L.A. born and raised actor was just as well known for his outstanding supporting roles in movies like “Heat,” “True Romance” and “Tombstone” … in which he played Doc Holliday. You can just hear him delivering the classic line, “I’m your huckleberry.”
Val got into the prestigious Juilliard School of acting when he was just 17, and after graduating did a lot of theater … including playing Hamlet. His eventual breakout film role came in the 1985 teen comedy, “Real Genius.”
Val is survived by his 2 adult children, Mercedes and Jack, who he had with his ex-wife, actress Joanne Whalley.
