9 Celebrities Who Are Defending Hulk Hogan
Several famous (and quasi-famous) people are standing behind the fallen Hulkster.
Hulk Hogan has been having a very bad week.
After some extremely vile comments were leaked that he said in a sex tape from years ago, his whole world has been in a downward spiral. He's been booted off of Tough Enough, he's lost his WWE Legends contract, and is being given the 'Hulk who?' treatment from the company that made him a mega-star.
Ultimately, Hulk Hogan has only himself to blame. The words that are causing him so much misery came from his mouth and no one else's. He has a long road of repentance ahead of him and may have committed sins that have placed him too far away from forgiveness in some fans' eyes.
Very few people have anything nice to say about the WWE Hall of Famer right now but there are some who are lending words of support.
The following nine celebrities have chosen to publicly support Hogan in various degrees through this ordeal. They might be committing PR sins or they might be showcasing compassion during a friend's darkest time, but these are the accounts of their support...
9. George Foreman
Former Heavyweight Champion and grilling entrepreneur, George Foreman, defended the fallen WWE Hall of Famer. The boxing great told these words to TMZ Sports:
“I have known Hulk Hogan for well over 20 years. I do not condone the language he used, but he is no racist, he is a good guy.”
Foreman is viewing the comments that Hogan said as being separate from what he really thinks about African Americans. Hogan was in a dark place and Foreman probably views that as the root of his choice of words. He continued the kind sentiment towards Hogan:
“He is a friend of mine. We have hung out together and we have even been in the ring together. I consider him a friend.”
