For the past couple of months, the Hogan family has been placed under the grueling spotlight, and the public became witness to the numerous issues surrounding the four members of the wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan’s family.  There was the divorce issue which pitted Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan) against his wife, Linda in a battle involving their wealth and the welfare of their son, Nick.

Shortly thereafter, the family faced yet another shocker—Brooke Hogan’s best friend, 33-year-old Christiane Plante stepped forward, claiming that she had an affair with Hulk Hogan himself.  While Brooke was dealing with this explosive revelation, her brother Nick was sentence to eight months in jail following a suit filed against the family regarding an accident which critically injured his best friend, 22-year-old Nick John Graziano.

“Nick Bollea resolved his criminal charges by pleading no contest to the charge of reckless driving with injury.  Nick took responsibility for his actions and was sentenced to county jail,” Nick’s lawyers, Kevin Hayslett and Sandy Weinberg Jr., said in a statement, as reported by Stuff.  They added that while on probation, Nick will be focusing on teaming up with National Wave and Freedom group to raise money for the recovery efforts of Graziano.

Amidst the problems that the family is facing, one Hogan Knows Best star is taking it badly.  Brooke Hogan is reportedly having a break down after all the drama that their family is facing.  A close friend close to the family reported to FOX News, saying “She’s suffering the worst of all; she just can’t keep it together and has been hit the hardest.”

According to the friend, Brooke is “extremely sensitive,” and has proven to be very emotional, with her recent MySpace blog entry, in which she talked about her brother’s law suit.

After Brooke took the entry down, she posted another entry which summed up her emotions amidst the issues that she’s currently facing.

“I have the truth on my side.  And the truth will set everyone straight sooner or later,” Brooke wrote.

Fans can show their support for the reality TV personality through her official MySpace page.  Any form of support will be well appreciated by the pop singer, who recently released her debut album entitled “Undiscovered.”
