Reality Roll Call

Nick Bollea, son of pro wrestler Hulk Hogan and brother of reality show star Brooke Hogan was release from jail after serviing 166 days of an eight month sentence for felony reckless driving in an accident that left his friend John Graziano with permanently life-altering injuries. Nick was released almost three months early for good behavior. According to a statement from the publicist of his mother, Linda Bollea:

“This is our time as a family to come together to support Nick’s adjustment back into the public life, keeping it as normal as possible,” she said. “Neither Nick, nor we as a family, has any interest in making this anything but private. We respect the media’s role and only ask that they respect our privacy. Nick went into prison as a juvenile and has experienced something that will mold and affect him for the rest of his adult life. His focus is to make a positive difference in this world, media-free. Since his future actions will speak louder than any words, there is no need to speak to the media at this time.”

According to TMZ.com, John Graziano’s brother has been leaving threatening phone calls on Hulk Hogan’s voicemail. John Graziano was injured in a car wreck that occured when Hogan’s son Nick Bollea was drag racing in the rain in Clearwater, FL last summer. The accident left the war veteran in a comatose state, with permanent brain damage.

Bollea is currently serving an 8 month term for criminal charges related to the accident: reckless driving resulting in serious physical injury, using a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, being a driver under 21 operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of 0.02% or higher and having illegal window tinting. Nick had been seen purchasing 5 cases of beer with his father earlier in the day the accident occurred. Two hours after the crash Nick’s blood alcohol level was tested at 0.055%.
