Once again, Terry and Linda Bollea, aka Mr. and Mrs. Hulk Hogan, are throwing some major verbal attacks at

.

one another.  Accusations flew in the most recent court hearings this week of Linda Bollea spending the vast majority of her $40,000 monthly temporary alimony payments on drugs.  In fact, two witnesses showed up and testified they’ve witnessed her snorting cocaine and taking a painkiller known as Roxycodon.  She also heard them testify to her expensive marijuana habit as well. 

A judge has been doling out the cash as needed to both parties.  That has to sting.  To have to ask for permission to spend one’s own money must be a difficult process for Terry Bollea.  He’s said to be worth over $10 million, but he said in court that unless his family reeled in its spending habits, he’d be broke within a year.  The fact he’s been ordered to pay the $40k monthly payment on top of all of her expenses, including credit cards, trainers, housekeepers and car payments and maintenance surely is taking a toll.  To add insult to injury, she’s now claiming she’s living below the standard of living she’d grown accustomed to as Mrs. Hulk Hogan.  She’s petitioned the court for an increase in her monthly allowance, all the while, her husband’s legal team is arguing for the judge to reduce the payments. 

Since his son, Nick, was a minor in 2007 when he was arrested for causing a serious brain injury to his once-friend during a car crash, the Bolleas’ have shouldered all of his legal fees.  Many believe this is what marked the beginning of the end of their 23 year marriage. 

The judge also heard Bollea’s argument today that he’s unable to provide for his family since his wrestling career is all but over.  A recent back surgery only adds to the long list of health problems and injuries many wrestlers suffer with.  His hopes of playing an active role in the upcoming Wrestlemania seem to be fading. 

In the meantime, the accusations are still flying, the name calling is still being traded and the divorce attorneys are working overtime to keep their respective clients quiet and not so much in the limelight.  What can they do, though?  Two entitled people who’ve lived charmed lives all these years won’t buckle easily and aren’t apt to take orders from anyone, whether it’s a judge or their own attorney.

I’m still trying to understand the train wreck best known as the Bollea Divorce Scandal.  Accusations of Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan, fooling around with women half his age, accusations of his wife, Linda, fooling around with men half her age, declarations of understanding OJ Simpson’s mentality, accusations of steroids and rage….it goes on and on.  Meanwhile, their son recently served jail time for destroying his friend’s life due to his “need for speed” and the consequences of racing at 100+ speeds in a car no one should be allowed to own before they’re 25.  That pesky testosterone gets in the way every time.

Where and when does it stop for these people?  Their over-the-top lifestyles clearly didn’t include room for any level of dignity or self-respect.  That’s truly sad because at one time, at least in the wrestling world, Hulk Hogan was the hero in every kid’s eyes.  This hero was quoted as saying just this week, “I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody’s throat” to a reporter for Rolling Stone.  The Mrs. has struck back as a result of his latest verbal assault with accusations of fights that went too far and yet another mention of steroid rage due to his chosen career.  They both have excellent attorneys who are most probably lying awake at night figuring out new ways to keep their clients quiet.  Their very public

lifestyle is left wide open for public ridicule, which is happening on a daily basis.  Keep in mind, this is the same family that had the once-popular reality series, “Hogan Knows Best” that painted a relatively sane picture of an American family - or so we thought.

Neither of these people is hiding their affairs.  Bollea has seen “some shaggy haired pool boy” who’s thirty years younger than his wife driving his Escalade and knows is playing happy homemaker in his house, with his wife and in his bed.  On the other hand, he’s not even tried to keep his own affairs secret.  But despite all of this, and just when you think it can’t get any worse, there’s one fact that seems to have gotten lost in this insanity: They’re still married!
