Linda Hogan claims her lawyers were in cahoots with Hulk Hogan's lawyers during divorce

Linda Hogan expressed regret over her divorce settlement, saying that a significant portion went to lawyers.

“My lawyers were in cahoots with his lawyers. They had everything set up where they were cashing in on me. Half of my settlement went to the lawyers,” said Linda.

“I do enjoy living alone. I never want to be married again after him, trust me,” she added.

Linda filed for divorce from Hulk in 2007 after allegations surfaced that he had an affair with Brooke’s best friend, as revealed by her publicist to E! News at the time.

The couple finalized their divorce in 2009. In his 2009 memoir, 'My Life Outside the Ring', Hulk denied ever cheating on Linda.

The family was widely known for their reality show 'Hogan Knows Best', which aired from 2005 to 2007.

Since then, Hogan has remarried twice, tying the knot with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010 before divorcing in 2021, and later marrying Sky Daily in 2023.
