Hulk Hogan files lawsuit against ex-wife

[No More Sorrow]

CLEARWATER (NewsCore) - Former WWE star Hulk Hogan filed a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife, claiming that she lied about him in her autobiography and during a series of promotional interviews.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday in Clearwater, claims Linda Bollea wrote "Wrestling The Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes" to help revive her flagging career following their 2009 divorce.

Bollea alleged in the book that Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, physically and mentally abused her during their marriage, including dragging her by her hair and clothes and choking her.

While being interviewed on television and radio earlier this year, Bollea reiterated those allegations.

"It scared me that he might just snap, not realize what he's doing. He is just so strong," she told FOX News Channel in June. "I thought he could kill me. He had his hands around my neck one time on the bed, and he started squeezing my throat. He just went into this trance, and I was looking at him and saying, 'Terry, stop, stop. I can't breathe.'"

In another interview, she alleged that Hogan had a homosexual relationship with a fellow wrestler.

Hogan, who denies the claims, is demanding a jury trial. He has also requested that the book, published by HarperCollins, be removed from sale, according to the report. HarperCollins is owned by News Corp., which also owns NewsCore.

The lawsuit comes two weeks after it was reported that Bollea received a little more than 70 percent of the couple's liquid assets in the divorce settlement.

Good on him for suing her. I am sure that she wrote some crap about him that wasn't true and he should be able to get some money back from her that was his to begin with.
