Hulk Hogan: Ex-wife Linda Bollea, Hulk Hogan knows best – and he’s out to set the record straight. The former wrestling star is suing ex-wife Linda Bollea for defamation after her tell-all book “Wrestling the Hulk–My Life Against the Ropes” revealed that Hogan allegedly beat her during their 24-year marriage.

The 18-page lawsuit, filed Thursday in Clearwater, Fla., claims Bollea lied about the abuse in her autobiography as an effort to save her “sagging career” following the couple’s 2009 divorce, the St. Petersburg Times reports.

In the book, Bollea alleges her husband “tore my clothes, threw lamps, and held me down on the bed with his hands around my throat during arguments.”

“Slamming doors. Pounding walls. I was always afraid he would kill me in one of his rages,” Bollea wrote.

While promoting her book during a radio interview in June, Bollea also accused her ex of having a sexual relationship with another male wrestler, Brutus Beefcake.
