Hulk Hogan's makes an attempt at nepotism fell horribly flat. First there was the attempt to make use of his fame to assist his daughter, Brooke Hogan, launch a singing career. While she did have a couple of minor hits, Brooke made the error of being considered one of a slew of blonde pop singers throughout the '90s and early '00s. As such, having a well-known dad wasn't enough to carry her major success within the music industry.
If that weren't enough, Hogan decided that we actually needed to get up shut and private along with his household. Following in the steps of The Osbournes, 2005 gave us Hogan Knows Best. Although the present was semi-well-liked with wrestling followers, the decision to put one's family within the spotlight for the sake of reality Tv can create unnecessary strain.
The dramatic lack of privacy meant the spotlight was on the Hogan family when Hulk's son, Nick, was involved in a horrific automotive accident. ABC Information reported Nick had been clocked by Florida police going faster than one hundred mph on multiple occasions. His luck ran out on August 27, 2007, when each he and his finest pal John Graziano were involved in a terrible automotive crash. Graziano was left with everlasting brain damage and can reportedly spend the rest of his life "in a semi-conscious state." The Graziano household sued the Hogans following the crash, and the 2 households settled out of courtroom. Because it was decided that Nick Hogan was drinking illegally and dashing prior to the incident, Nick Hogan agreed to a plea deal that will give him a digital slap on the wrist: simply eight months in jail.
The scandal was a darkish mark on the Hogan family and on Hulk, as it is fairly doable that Nick's well-known dad allowed for a moderately mild sentence of eight months in jail. The state of affairs brought the household's reality tv show to a halt. Sadly, this wouldn't be the last time that scandal brought on Hulk Hogan or his family to make nationwide news.
