Linda Hogan has become the latest loved ones of wrestling great Hulk Hogan to speak out on the legend’s recent death.

Four days after the retired wrestling star passed away 24 at the age of 71, the late WWE icon’s ex-wife broke her silence on this sad development.

Linda and Hulk were married for 26 years until they went their separate ways in 2009.

“I had no idea he would pass away this soon,” Linda wrote July 28 in the comments section of her July 19 Instagram post, which featured a throwback pic of her and her ex.

“We all really thought he would make a come back! Big surprise. We are all devastated. It’s hitting me so hard. I loved Hulkster more than he loved me. It hurt when he cheated. But he was sooo famous. I sort of understood [sic] but it was crushing. It hurt.”

Added Linda, who shares two kids with the late star:

“I’ve been weeping all day. The finality. It’s just shocking. We spent every minute together for so many years. I’ve known him since he was 28 yrs old! I was 22. I still love him. Even tho I never spoke or saw him, Nick did.. and Nick would tell me things and vice versa. Just news about life.”

Hogan is presumed to have died from cardiac arrest.

According to podcast host and WWE journalist Dave Meltzer, though, the 71-year old was in extremely bad shape prior to paramedics being called for a heart-related incident on the date cited above.

Due to complications from a neck surgery in May, Hogan was intubated and battled renal failure, fluid overload and severe COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), Dave Meltzer claimed late last week.

“What happened with Hulk was they took him out of the hospital and made a hospital in his house as there wasn’t much left they could do,” Meltzer reported in his Wrestling Observer Newsletter, perhaps the most respected publication in this industry.

Along similar lines, an insider previously told tabloid Us Weekly that Hogan had been “in and out of the hospital” for years before his death.

The source described the frequent hospital visits as “the culmination of having over 30 surgeries over the course of his life.”

Linda, for her part, went on to note that the family rift way back in the day left her feeling “broken,” concluding as follows:

“We still were a family. It’s so hard to know he’s just gone. I tried to stay strong for Nick .. but I’m me. I love you Hulkster. You were my man. The only man for me. RIP.”

Clearwater Police Department personnel responded to a medical emergency on July 24 relating to a “cardiac arrest,” a local official has since confirmed.

Hogan was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

“I wasn’t ready for this…and my heart is in pieces,” Sky Daily, Hogan’s third wife, wrote on social media Friday, July 25.

“He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time.

“This loss is sudden and impossible to process. To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart.”

Denise Richards is asking the court for help.

As we previously reported, the court granted the actress a restraining order earlier this month.

Amidst her bitter divorce from Aaron Phypers, however, she says that it’s not enough.

Richards is accusing her estranged husband of violating the order, stealing her belongings, and even leaking her private photos and communications.

Denise Richards is asking the court to intervene

Us Weekly reports that on Monday, July 28, Denise Richards returned to court to ask for help.

She accused her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, of stealing from her and of leaking her private photos to the media.

Richards asked the court to order Phypers to return the allegedly stolen items — including her laptop and multiple phones — and to enjoin him from sharing any more of her material.

According to Richards’ filing, Phypers has been “repeatedly violating the [temporary restraining order in place] by disseminating to numerous new organizations on multiple occasions.”

She wrote that he has leaked “private information from my laptop (including text messages and nude photographs of me) that he stole.”

Richards clarified within the motion that she had obtained a temporary restraining order against Phypers earlier in July.

This is the order that she accuses him of violating.

What does she want the court to do about it?

According to the report, Denise Richards is demanding that Aaron Phypers return the laptop and cell phones, including all photos and records.

She wants everything that he allegedly stole, and she wants it by the end of the day on Tuesday, July 29.

The filing describes Phypers as having given an interview to a media outlet the day after getting the restraining order in which he allegedly straight-up admitted to some degree of theft from her.

Richards also details the digital photographs and other material that Phypers not only allegedly stole, but allegedly described stealing in an interview.

She says that the stolen media include her exposed breast, her bare bottom, and her private text messages.

“Aaron accessing my private information on my laptop and disseminating the information is not only abuse and a violation of the TRO,” Richards wrote in the filing, “but the disseminating of nude photographs is a criminal act.”

This mess isn’t going away any time soon

For what it’s worth, Aaron Phypers denies Denise Richards’ allegations.

He says that he hasn’t violated the TRO, stolen her laptop, or stolen any of her phones.

Though he has had a lot of things to say about Richards, it is unclear which of the two of them has sufficient evidence to convince the court that they are correct.

This is a tense and contentious situation. Their legal battle will likely extend for many months if not for years.

And, if Richards’ allegations are true, then Phypers could also end up facing criminal charges — if prosecutors decide to act.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad campaign has been creating quite a stir this week.

Critics say the ad features problematic jokes about genetics (“jeans/genes” puns are at the center of most of the spots) that veer disturbingly close to the eugenics rhetoric favored by white supremacist groups.

The clips have created major controversy across the social media landscape, and now, one of hip hop’s biggest names has gone viral by roasting Sydney and AE.

Doja Cat mocks Sydney Sweeney jeans ad

“Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue,” Sydney says in one of the spots.

Now, Doja Cat has used those exact words to mock the A-list actress.

@dojacat

my jeans are blee

♬ original sound – Doja Cat

In a TikTok video that’s already been viewed more than 10 million times, Doja quotes Sydney using a thick backwoods accent that makes her feelings on the tagline abundantly clear.

Yes, without mentioning Sydney or American Eagle, the always outspoken rapper has delivered some of the most scathing criticism yet about this increasingly controversial campaign.

And judging by the comments, Doja’s followers are 100 percent onboard with her latest beef.

Doja Cat fans support Sydney Sweeney shade

“Doja on the right side of history as usual,” one follower wrote.

“Never thought I’d see the day where Doja Cat makes fun of Sydney Sweeney but here we are,” another joked.

“Doja Cat mocking Sydney Sweeney was not in my bingo card this year but I ain’t complaining,” a third remarked.

“EVEN DOJAS MOCKING IT OH MY GOD,” a fourth chimed in. You get the idea.

It’s commonly said that there’s no such thing as bad press. But we think this sort of attention is probably not what American Eagle execs had in mind when they greenlit this particular ad campaign.

Sure, the brand is on everybody’s minds these days, but we don’t think the current discourse is gonna lead to a major uptick in sales.

Imagine showing up to the first day of school in your expensive new denim and being hit with the dreaded Doja Cat hillbilly accent.

People have transferred to new districts for less.

It’s been nearly one week since Hulk Hogan passed away at the age of 71.

Understandably, several members of his family needed time to process their grief before they felt comfortable speaking publicly.

On Monday, Nick Hogan broke his silence with a loving tribute to his late father.

Earlier today, Brooke Hogan issued her own statement, and as expected, her feelings toward her late father are a bit more complex.

Brooke Hogan opens up about estrangement from father

Brooke was estranged from her father at the time of his passing, a fact that she acknowledged in her first public remarks since his death.

“When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us,” Brooke wrote on Instagram.

“I know he’s at peace now, out of pain, and in a place as beautiful as he imagined. He used to speak about this moment with such wonder and hope. Like meeting God was the greatest championship he’d ever have.”

She went on to state that it was “necessary to clear a few things up,” explaining that it was not a single “fight” that caused their estrangement.

“It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand,” Brooke wrote.

“My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support. I begged him to rest, to take care of himself.”

Brooke Hogan recalls battle over Hulk’s health

Brooke went on to reveal that she and her father disagreed on matters relating to his health and well-being.

She says that she and her husband moved to Florida in order to be closer to Hulk, but in the end, he wound up distancing himself.

“We had been through almost 25 surgeries together, and then all of a sudden he didn’t want me at surgeries…everything started getting covered in a thick veil. It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn’t get through,” she wrote, adding:

“He was telling me these things, being so vulnerable with me and heard my pleas, then suddenly something shifted, and he made a choice to walk the path that clearly tore at his spirit,” she continued, adding:

“I felt a disconnect. What followed were respectful disagreements that took an emotional toll on me. During the last two years, I had to step away to protect my heart.”

It couldn’t have been easy for Brooke to speak so publicly about such private matters.

Hopefully, she’s able to take some solace in knowing her father is at rest after fighting for so long.

Kelley Wolf says that she has only $6 to her name.

Earlier this month, she put out a plea for help following two involuntary holds.

After Scott Wolf revealed that he had filed to divorce his wife after 21 years, news broke about what appeared to be a pattern of troubles.

Now, Kelley is sharing a lengthy update on where things stand. It seems clear that she feels alone and even abandoned, and unable to understand why perceived allies have turned their backs on her.

Kelley Wolf says that she has been sleeping in her car

On Tuesday, July 29, Kelley Wolf took to Instagram to share a lengthy, poetic text post.

“1:00 AM Tonight, I had two choices: Sleep in my car — again — or use a room that had been booked for me at what used to be my favorite hotel in Utah,” she began. “I chose neither.”

Wolf explained:

“Because dignity matters. I have $6 to my name. My brother supports me. Let that sink in.”

“After building a career as one of the most exclusive consultants in the world,” Kelley wrote.

“(And if you don’t believe me, then you were never in the room where it happened) — I’m now living inside a system that tried to erase me.”

She revealed: “My own mother called me a ‘drug addict’ this morning. This, after seeing the extensive toxicology reports from two involuntary psychiatric holds — Both of which showed: No drugs. No diagnosis.”

Wolf added: “Just this line: ‘Kelley incited a riot and turned patients against staff.’” Oh! That is … so much.

A post shared by KELLEY WOLF (@kelleywolf)

Wait, she ‘incited a riot’ while on a psychiatric hold?

“Well, Mom — That part’s true,” Kelley Wolf wrote.

“No drugs. But yes, I still rise up against injustice. Yes, I speak truth when I see abuse. I couldn’t stay silent.”

She continued: “Not while men and women were being labeled as ‘crazy,’ held for up to 180 days, and forced to take drugs against their will. I helped three people get out last week. I will help more.”

Wolf vowed: “I’m not done until every woman who asked for freedom and got a sentence instead is seen. Is safe. Is free. Let’s be even clearer: That TRO? It would’ve kept me in Summit Behavioral indefinitely.”

“If I had believed the accusations, the labels, the whispered threats — I would still be inside,” Wolf continued. “But I’m not. I’m here. I’m alive.” She certainly is.

“I’m laughing. I’m camping,” she listed. Wolf continued:

“I’m dating someone kind and awake. I’m in a beautiful home tonight, because a man who barely knew me saw the truth — and acted with integrity.”

She wrote: “To those of you who’ve called, defended, asked, cried, texted: ‘Are you okay?’ ‘I believe you.’ ‘I’m so sorry.’ I will never forget you. When I’m back in my full FLOW, you’ll know you bet on the right so-called ‘crazy’ girl from Arkansas.”

Is Kelley Wolf okay?

“And one last thing: I was told I was ‘banned’ from a hotel where I’d once stayed under an alias, asked for peace and healing, and shared — twice — that I didn’t feel safe,” Kelley Wolf wrote.

“Now I’m banned? Isn’t that … odd?” she remarked. Yes, that does sound very odd!

“I think it’s cruel. I think it’s cowardly,” Wolf lamented.

“But then again — I hate labels. Don’t you?”

We here at THG do not make any claim to know the full details of how the Wolf marriage has broken down. Additionally, we make no claims to have special insights into Mrs. Wolf’s mental health.

This caption makes it clear that she feels alarmed. Something, perhaps several somethings, is very wrong.

Additionally, no matter who the breadwinner is, no ex should suddenly find themselves destitute upon a breakup. And no one should have to wait until a family court judge places an order to receive stable housing.

We hope that someone who loves her is able to help Wolf, perhaps in more ways than merely providing shelter (if that is something that she still needs).
