Hogan Meltdown: Linda Barks Back at Hulk’s Hairdresser, Brooke Says Mom Has Psychological Issues
Last week Tracy Morgan, the former hairdresser of Linda Bollea (previously Hogan), gave a scathing testimony in the Pinellas County Courthouse in Florida against her former client, claiming that the reality star spends a large portion of her $40,000 per month alimony payout from estranged hubby Hulk on drugs.
Morgan (who said she was a family friend of the "Hogan Knows Best Family") also accused Linda of being violent toward her husband and said she often came into the Tampa salon intoxicated. According to Morgan, Bollea had a "favorite combination" of drugs -- marijuana and roxicodone pills.
The testimony came after a two-hour hearing following Hulk’s motion to reduce the amount of money he has to give his ex-wife.
But now Linda's lawyer is biting back.
"Morgan's testimony was a complete fabrication; I don’t think the judge found Tracy Morgan to be that credible. At one point when she went on and on interrupting the judge [and] said in comment ‘Man get off your soap box’," Linda’s attorney, Raymond Rafool, told Tarts this week. "I think it’s shameful for her to come up and make up these stories just so she can get in the limelight and be in the Hulk Hogan camp."
According to Bollea’s people, 11 days prior to the hearing, Hulk paid Morgan $3500 for her to give hair extensions to both him and his girlfriend, but made the check out to Tracy’s daughter Brittany in an attempt "to hide the true identity of who was getting paid."
"Hulk Hogan is more interested in spending money trying to control Linda and dirty her name than he really is about trying to save money as he says," Rafool said.
"About Hulk never being violent, first of all, she would never know that, because she wasn't at their house all the time. Her saying that Linda took punches at Hulk Hogan, I find that to be incredible."
But according to the former pro wrestler’s rep, Linda’s lawyer’s spin on the situation is "baseless and just plain false."
"Not only did Tracy spend a lot of time in the Hogan household, but she often traveled with the family and testified to witnessing many situations where Linda was physically and verbally abusive to Hulk," said his rep. "In regards to the checks written, Brittany is a co-owner of the salon and many clients make their payments out to her."
Morgan also dissed Bollea’s accusations that her testimony was based on lies.
"I told the truth on the witness stand. He (Rafool) is wrong," Morgan told Tarts in response. "But it’s his job to represent her the best possible way that he can and I guess that's what he's doing. But everything I said was true and I stand by it. I'm going to stick with no comment from here on out."
And as the Hogan drama deepens, 21-year-old Brooke spoke to her father’s best friend, radio host Bubba the Love Sponge, on Tuesday morning and admitted that she hasn’t seen her mother in over six months.
"We were only close (before) because I didn’t know any different … I think this person she is was always there. It’s a psychological thing, it comes down to she didn’t have a settled home life growing up … deep down inside she’s still not happy," Brooke said before breaking down in tears. "She has bitten the hand that fed her. It hurts so bad because she doesn’t know me. She doesn’t know how fun I am, my favorite color, my best friends or what my house looks like. She doesn’t know any of that."
From Porn to Politics to Gold Digging? Stormy Daniels Digs Millionaire Matchmaking
It seems American porn star Stormy Daniels, who recently announced that she was seriously considering running for Louisiana senate has decided to try her luck at finding herself a man - with a few conditions of course.
We’re told Daniels joined the locals and signed up to meet one of Patti "Millionaire Matchmaker" Stanger’s hand-picked Las Vegas millionaires during her "Find Your Sugar Day" at the Bank nightclub this past Father’s Day. The lucky men awarded each of the ladies (including Daniels) with "daddy dollars" and the girl who had the most dollars at the end of the night won $5,000 cash. Unfortunately for Ms. Daniels, local Las Vegas waitress Amy Williams was declared the winner and overheard telling another partygoer that she planned to spend the prize money on (surprise, surprise) a boob job.
Perhaps Daniels should stick to porn and politics …
"If I was an outsider looking in, I'd think it sounds ludicrous. It really does," she recently told Fox News in regards to her political ambitions. "And I guess the whole thing is that (the public) dislikes David Vitter (the current state senator who was once linked to so-called DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey) so much that they think I'm the best person for the job — then I mean that's kind of scary."
Jon Voight: Let’s Missile North Korea’s Fence!
Amid the controversy surrounding North Korea’s nuclear testing, Hollywood big-wig Jon Voight believes the United States needs to step up and show the world where we stand.
"We’ve got a very strong military and we’ve obviously got real villains out there. We’re being threatened right now with North Korea who is starting to flex its muscles and we’ve got to be strong," he told Tarts at the "Transformers" premiere earlier this week. "We need to missile the fence that we just sent to Hawaii, and thank God we have it. We’ve got to protect our troops with the best equipment, and everyone has to be supportive."
But how does the outspoken political activist/filmmaker feel about Obama’s efforts in supporting the troops?
"I think he’s got a good team in place with Jim Jones, I think they’re trying their best in that area," he said slowly. "But I think the allocations for money in the military [are] not strong enough."
