AceShowbiz - Hulk Hogan's ex-wife Linda Hogan is taking the wrong side in the Black Lives Matter movement. The 60-year-old TV personality has drawn the ire of public after making a racist comment that blamed "afro Americans" for all the "looting" during the nationwide protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd.
Linda tweeted on Tuesday, June 2, "watching the looting, it's all afro Americans, not sure how robbing and stealing set the record straight but if they want to be heard they need to be civilized." She later deleted the post, but that didn't stop social media users from criticizing her.
"I hate to be one of those people, but... are we really surprised that Linda Hogan, ex-wife of Hulk Hogan (who went on a n-word filled tirade back in 2007), is also racist?" one Twitter user wrote. Another added, "So stealing isn't civilised but cold bloodied murder is?? Ok Linda."
"Typical racist looking at looting rather than the protests. Gotta love when white people tell angry hurting oppressed people how to protest," read another comment, while someone else called the "Hogan Knows Best" star "colorblind."
Linda's controversial tweet has also prompted Tony Khan, the president of AEW, to ban her from attending any future events. "You've now joined your husband in being banned from all AEW shows. Congratulations," Tony tweeted.
The former WWE Hall of Famer is likely banned from AEW shows due to the racist comments he made in 2015 that resulted in him getting fired from the WWE and erased from the Hall of Fame, though he later rejoined the WWE company a few years later.
Linda has not addressed her controversial tweet. On Sunday, May 31, she also spoke out against the Black Lives Matter protests as tweeting, "everyone wants police to stand down , and this is what you get ?how is robbing and stealing tennis shoes a protest of george floyd."
