Hulk Hogan’s Former Best Friend Accuses Wife, Allies of Lying About Late Wrestler’s Health

Hulk Hogan, the 71-year-old wrestling legend, passed away after a cardiac arrest incident at his Florida home, a death confirmed by his inner circle and reported widely. His former close friend, Todd Alan Clem, known as Bubba the Love Sponge, has publicly criticized Hogan's wife Sky Daily and friends including WWE Hall of Famers Eric Bischoff and Jimmy Hart for allegedly concealing the true severity of Hogan's declining health. Bubba claimed he was the only one speaking the truth about Hogan’s physical condition, reporting since mid-June that Hogan had spent six weeks in the ICU and was on his deathbed, a claim denied by Hogan’s representatives and associates. Despite their complicated history stemming from a leaked sex tape involving Hogan and Bubba's then-wife, Bubba expressed deep regret for not reconciling before Hogan’s death and emphasized the special connection they once shared. Hogan had undergone complex neck surgery in June and was publicly described by his wife as recovering from an intense healing process, though rumors about his condition varied. Bubba’s public statements have stirred controversy and shed light on the tensions within Hogan’s inner circle during his final months.
