Relatives of O.J Simpson Victims Slam Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan is being attacked from all sides for the comments he recently made in a Rolling Stone interview. The wrestler said he could understand why O.J Simpson killed his estranged wife and a friend of hers, making many, including the relatives of the two Simpson victims, speak out against this type of attitude towards violence and murder.

Fresh off Linda’s statement that she plans to take Hulk’s “homicidal comments” as seriously as possible, Ron Goldman’s sister and father are telling Us Magazine that Hogan needs to grow up and think before opening his mouth to speak. When Simpson allegedly murdered his wife, Nicole Brown, and her friend, Ron Goldman, he destroyed the lives of many, so making fun of this situation is utterly unacceptable, the two say for the magazine.

“It’s disturbing. It’s sick to me that people throw around violence so whimsically. That has always bothered me. Then there’s the part of me that thinks, well at least he thinks he did it. The warped part of me. It’s vile to speak of anybody in that way and it’s hurtful, demeaning and so many layers of ugliness attached to it. I’m always very sensitive to people saying they would kill someone. I don’t speak that way anymore, so when I hear it, it has such meaning attached to it. It says a lot and speaks to his level of violence and propensity for it. It’s sad.” Kim Goldman tells the mag as regards Hogan’s recent statements.

Her father, Fred, is less delicate in rebuffing the wrestler for the way in which he expressed his feelings about the ongoing divorce from wife Linda. Hogan should simply grow up, Mr. Goldman believes, saying to the same magazine “O.J. consumed two lives to feed his insane ego. Mr. Hogan should dial down the rage... grow up.”

These two statements come on the heels of Hogan’s rep trying to make things better by saying his words had been taken out of context, which means that an offense is still an offense no matter how you word it, several media outlets are pointing out. “Page 6 only quoted a very small portion of the Rolling Stone article, not the statement in its entirety. He said that he understands the frustration that can lead to that sort of activity but he definitely does not condone it. He is grounded in his faith and a belief in a higher power and does not believe in violence for any reason.” Hogan’s representative was saying just a couple of hours ago.
