Hulk Hogan and family...what a mess

I don't think it's because they lived on camera. People are who they are. If anything I would think people would try to clean up their acts for TV, but then again people loved Jerry Springer. These shows are about people who have fame and live in a world of excess. That right there is enough to cause problems for a lot of people. It seems funny to me that the accident was on November 7 and she filed for divorce on November 20. That is probably just a move to separate and protect their assets. If she gets the 4+ million, they will still be set if he is drained. As for the son, if my kid got 4 tickets within a year she wouldn't have a license. I would certainly not give her a vehicle to drive, let alone a sports car. This is where the excess comes in. Some people just think they are above it all. Do I sound cynical? You bet. A young man is sitting in the hospital and another in jail because they didn't put their foot down and discipline him.

I think it's a sad fact that many parents, whether single or partnered, have no idea how to raise children and how to deal with the problems that arise. I think they feel that drastic measures are called for in drastic situations. I'm not excusing anything but where do parents turn to learn to cope?

Could be if ya notice a lot of movie people always have trouble like that in their lifes

Their marriage, from what I've read online was actually in trouble before the show started. They decided to go ahead and do the show for some odd reason. They probably thought it would help their relationship or something, who knows. Anyway, so something finally broke the camel's back and they decided to split.

I think it may be a little of both. The show gave them a lot of publicity. I noticed that Hulk let the boy get away with more stuff than he did his daughter who is older. From what I have seen on the "show biz" stories and legal news it seems that they think their fame should allow them to get special privileges. I saw that the boy wanted out of jail and be sent home with an ankle bracelet. I have a little worse opinion of the whole family these days.

I read up that the family already had problems before the show. I forget who agreed to the show, but the whole thing probably didn't help matters. All I say to this (besides the typical "huh") is "meh, whatever".

They said that most of the show was scripted. With all they are going through, I believe it. I hope the media does not give them lots of coverage over this.

I think that we just know more about their problems because they are "celebrities". They are like any other family, with good and bad points, and sometimes at a breaking point.

I don't think the living on camera casued the mess the are in now. I watched that show all the time and they seemed like their marriage was in trouble then who knew what happeed off camera to.
