Spousal Support Dispute: Hulk Hogan’s Wife Wants More Money After OJ Comments

By Denver Divorce Lawyer on April 29, 2009

According to a report, Linda Bollea, wife of former wrestler Hulk Hogan, has asked the court for thousands of dollars more in spousal support so that she can move across the country. Hogan recently gave an interview to Rolling Stone magazine where he said that he understood how O.J. Simpson could have been driven to do what he did. Simpson was acquitted of murdering his wife Nicole Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1993, and like many people Hogan also believes Simpson got away with murder.

In the interview Hogan whose real name is Terry Bollea said he was enticed to assault his wife “like O.J.” which caused outrage and brought about a swift response to clarify his comments.

A representative for Hogan said, “Hulk in no way condones the O.J. situation. As part of a larger conversation, he referred to it to exemplify his frustration with his own situation.”

Linda Bollea did not find any jest in the comments and has filed court papers in Pinellas County, Florida. Bollea is claiming she feels she’s in “imminent danger of becoming a victim.” She is asking for an additional $8,200 a month from Hogan so that she can move “thousands of miles away.” She also is requesting $24,000 for “advanced rent and security deposits” in order to move from Miami to California.
