Legendary wrestler and reality TV dad Terry ‘Hulk Hogan’ Bollea reveals in his new book, ‘My Life Outside the Ring’ that he considered suicide after his breakup with ex-wife Linda Hogan, but a phone call from Laila Ali saved his life.
When Hulk hit rock bottom, he was dealing with the breakup with his wife of 23 years and the arrest and jailing of their son Nick who was in a car accident. One of Nick’s friends was brain-damaged as well.
“I practically begged her, ‘Please, don’t file.’ Our son’s just had this accident — if we do this now, it’ll make us look like the Britney Spears family. Please, don’t file for divorce,’” the NY Daily News quotes the book.
But as he describes in the book, it was boxer Muhammad Ali’s daughter, ‘Gladiator’ co-star Laila Ali, that called and prevent him from taking his own life after he’d ingested a cocktail of Xanax and rum. Hulk said he had reached for a gun and put his finger on the trigger when Ali called.
Wow, that’s some scary stuff!! I guess it shows you that you never know what goes on behind closed doors. So sad for the entire family, especially Brooke and Nick.
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
