Linda Bollea has run out of money

CLEARWATER -- Linda Bollea, wife of wrestler Hulk Hogan, is out of money -- despite receiving $40,000 a month in temporary alimony payments.

In a hearing today on other matters, one of Linda Bollea's attorneys asked Judge George W. Greer to set a hearing next month to talk about unfreezing some of the divorcing couple's assets for Linda's use.

An attorney for Hulk Hogan said she wanted to see some proof from Linda's attorneys that the wrestling star's wife was tapped out.

"They have to tell me why she's out of money. They have to show me in bank statements," said Ann Loughridge Kerr, whose client is Hulk Hogan, legal name Terry Bollea.

In August, both sides in the divorce agreed Linda Bollea would get temporary alimony payments of $40,000 per month. Terry Bollea also agreed to pay some monthly costs like repair and maintenance of their home on Willadel Drive, where Linda now lives.

But Linda Bollea's side said the husband is refusing to pay for cable, pest control, window washing and their security system.

Greer told Terry Bollea's attorneys to pay the cable, pest control and window washing bills -- but not the security system payments. That is not Terry Bollea's responsibility, he said.
