Hulk Hogan was recently awarded $115 million for fucking his best friend’s wife. Oh and another $25 million in punitive damages. For now. As my colleague David reminded us earlier, the Hulkster’s case is likely to be overturned on appeals, as appellate courts are much more protective of the First Amendment than a jury of drunk Floridians. Nonetheless, Hogan has celebrated his victory by leg-dropping Gawker on Twitter.
But not everyone in Hogan’s life is happy with his big W–namely his ex-wife Linda, who was he was married to for 24 years before she filed for divorce in 2007. A year later, Linda began dating 19-year-old Charley Hill. She was 48 years old. After a four year relationship, Hill sued his suga mama for $1.5 million, citing the heavy quantity of labor Linda allegedly made him perform while they were together–namely fertilizing 25 acres of avocado trees, dig a creek, wax the yacht, pull reeds from the lake, and work in construction and landscaping. I realize the last few sentences have nothing to do with this post, but they’re hilarious tidbits, so I took the liberty of including.
Moral of the story: Linda and Hulk are no strangers to outlandish lawsuits.
