The wife of Hulk Hogan files for divorce
Apparently the reality show marriage curse has continued, as Linda Bollea, wife of Hulk Hogan, has filed for a divorce from the famous former pro wrestler. The couple, along with their children Nick and Brooke, starred in a reality show for VH-1 called Hogan Knows Best.
It has been a rough few months for the family, as son Nick was involved in a serious car crash this past summer which left his good friend in a coma. It is unclear if that tragedy played any role in the divorce, but certainly that had to put a strain on all of them. Nick was recently arrested in connection with the event and charged with reckless driving. Nick was reportedly excessively speeding at the time of the crash.
What is so strange about this story is that apparently, according to People magazine, the Hulk did not even know about the filing of divorce papers until a reporter for The St. Petersburg Times broke the news to him. Unless he was just acting surprised, it is odd that a man would not know that his wife was going to put the wheels in motion to divorce him. I remember reading that they were moving from the house featured in the reality show, so maybe that move was related to their separation?
The reality television marriage curse is well-documented, as many former couples who put their marriage on television ended up divorced. Some examples include Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra, and The Barkers (although they may have reconciled). Does the stress of having a camera document your life cause your marriage to breakdown or is just that, like marriages not on television, the reality show marriages have their problems and end for reasons unrelated to television and celebrity?
