Hulk Hogan’s Son Arrested For DUI In Florida

by

Nick Hogan, son of legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan, was reportedly arrested in the early hours of Saturday morning. Police in Clearwater, Florida detained Hogan for driving under the influence and refusing a sobriety test. Tracing the 33-year-old’s movements, his social media activity appears to indicate that he had attended a bikini contest at his father’s restaurant in the hours before the arrest.

However, the location of his arrest is notable. In 2007, a then-17-year-old Nick was involved in a serious car crash in the area. Nick pled no contest to reckless driving involving serious bodily harm and would serve eight months in prison. Furthermore, while Nick was mostly fine, the same couldn’t be said for his passenger. John Graziano, who was a serving US Marine at the time, was left with significant brain trauma. His family sued and later settled out of court with the Hogans.

Hulk Hogan’s Disowned Nephew Hilariously Knocked Out At MMA Event

Furthermore, it’s just not been a good year to be a lesser-known relative of Hulk Hogan. In August, Hogan’s disowned nephew David Bollea went viral for all the wrong reasons. Bollea has long been distanced from the family for trying to capitalize on their fame for his own gain. As a result, he has been trying to carve out a name for himself in the lower ranks of the MMA scene. That saw Bollea (8-3) fighting in the Fury Challenger Series. It’s hard to tell when it happened during the fight but Bollea was ignominiously dumped on his face by Paul Garza. It was some pretty lazy work from both fighters. However, Bollea dropped his guard after just a few swings and got rocked by a hook from Garza. Subsequently, Bollea faceplanted onto the mat and rolled onto his back as the referee stepped in and called the fight.

Other than not being great at MMA, Bollea has one other claim to fame. In the late 2000s, Bollea tried to ride his family name to his reality show. It was called My Girlfriend Wants A Girlfriend and appeared to revolve around Bollea and his then-partner attempting to start a thruple. While one slightly raunchy TV promo remains online, the show never actually made it to air.

Diddy Gave Diageo A Warning About Racially Sensitive Vodka Flavor

by

The relationship between Diddy and spirits giant Diageo fell apart last month. The rapper filed a lawsuit against the brand amid claims of racism against their partners. Shortly following that suit Diageo officially cut ties between their company and Diddy. According to HipHopDX, information from the lawsuit was made public yesterday that added some specific context and details from the legal proceedings. The suit alleges that Diageo mismanaged the rapper’s two alcohol brands DeLeon Tequila and Ciroc Vodka.

Included in the lawsuit’s allegations are claims that Diageo released a racially insensitive flavor despite being warned about it. “Diageo presented Combs with a watermelon-flavored version of the tequila, despite Mr. Combs’s objections and efforts to educate Diageo about the racial history and connotations relating to watermelon,” the suit reads. It also includes claims that Diddy’s brands were limited internally to just “urban audiences. “Cîroc and DeLeón continued to be described as “urban brands” within the Diageo portfolio.” The suit also includes an email Diddy wrote to Diageo’s former president expressing many of the same sentiments. The email spoke to the necessity of diversity and inclusion but according to the lawsuit its sentiments were ultimately ignored.

Diddy’s son Justin Combs was just handed down two charges stemming from a DUI arrest last month. He’s facing a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence and another for having a blood alcohol content higher than 0.08%. Justin’s arrest sparked beef between his mother and Diddy as she called out his parenting and influence.

Musically, Diddy put out his summer anthem last month. The track “Act Bad” sees him collaborating with City Girls and Fabolous. The song also ended up being used as evidence when Diddy was targeted by Justin’s mother following his DUI arrest. What do you think of Diddy’s allegations in the Diageo lawsuit? Let us know in the comment section below.

Justin Combs, Diddy’s Son, Arrested For DUI

by

Earlier today, Diddy’s oldest son Justin Combs was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence. Police say they smelled alcohol in his vehicle during a routine traffic stop in the Beverly Hills area. This led them to give the 29-year-old various sobriety tests, which the LAPD says he failed. He was arrested and booked on a misdemeanor DUI charge. Police then took him to an L.A. County jail, where his bond was set at $5,000. It’s unclear whether or not Combs remains in custody.

“Officers conducted a traffic stop, and they observed the driver possibly under the influence of unknown alcohol or drugs,” one officer from the LAPD stated. He went on to claim, “The investigation revealed that he was under the influence.”

Diddy, on the other hand, has been heavily promoting his new track with City Girls and Fabolous, “Act Bad.” Last week, an associate of Swinderella accused Diddy of “jacking” the rapper’s 2020 song to come up with the hit. She wrote on Twitter, “The industry will really send people to bite your whole entire swagg!” She continued, claiming Swinderella “DID ACT BAD 2 YEARS AGO.” Her comment goes on to say, “The industry will be nothing without the underdogs,” and “SWINDY YOU’RE NEXT.” The up-and-coming rapper also chimed in to share her thoughts. “They keep telling me I need a hit whole time I got em and the billionaires stealing my whole sh*t,” she wrote.

Diddy’s alcohol company also recently sued it’s partner Diageo for allegedly neglecting the artist’s brands Ciroc and DeLeon. His company also alleges that the neglect was rooted in racism. “Diageo has typecasted Ciroc and DeLeon, apparently deciding they are ‘Black brands’ that should be targeted only to ‘urban’ consumers,” his legal team claims. Combs Wine and Spirits also later claimed they will be pursuing a separate lawsuit against Diageo, where they will seek “billions of dollars in damages due to Diageo’s neglect and breaches.”

DaniLeigh Arrested For DUI Hit & Run On Memorial Day Long Weekend

by

Earlier this month, DaniLeigh celebrated one of the biggest milestones in her career so far – working with Beyonce on choreography for the RENAISSANCE World Tour. Unfortunately, it appears the mother of one took her celebrating a bit too seriously, as she was arrested for a DUI hit and run early on Tuesday (May 30) morning. According to a police report obtained by TMZ, Dani was driving near Miami Beach when multiple witnesses noticed her swerving in and out of lanes while speeding.

Amid her joyride, the “Tasty” singer struck another person riding on a motorized scooter. She proceeded to drag the moped for roughly a block while concerned residents flagged down a nearby officer and initiated a stop. While speaking with Dani, the policeman noticed that she smelled distinctly of alcohol. The field sobriety tests he conducted on her ultimately failed, and her breathalyzer test didn’t yield flattering results either. Dani first blew a 0.145, as well as a 0.148 afterward, which is nearly twice the legal limit.

DaniLeigh Ends Memorial Day Weekend with Three Felony Charges

The 28-year-old was cuffed and taken to jail, where she was promptly handed three felony charges. As per the outlet, Dani is not facing driving under the influence, leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury, and DUI damage to property. Her alleged victim is alive but did require treatment at a local hospital. According to police, he suffered a kidney laceration and a spinal fracture as a result of the accident.

TMZ reached out to the dancer’s team for comment but has yet to hear back. Aside from working with Beyonce, DaniLeigh was also making her presence felt this spring with her first new single in a minute, “Tasty.” The wildly salacious song received much better reviews online than another from her discography, “Yellow Bone,” which earned the artist plenty of backlash after dropping it. While she’s since apologized, Sukihana took some time to air Dani out on a recent episode of The Jason Lee Show. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for any updates on the Florida native’s arrest.

Henry Ruggs Pleads Guilty, Potential Sentence Revealed

by

If you remember, back in November of 2021, former Las Vegas Raiders star Henry Ruggs II found himself in a horrific situation. Although it was his fault that the situation happened, there is no doubt that fans were shocked. Ruggs ended up killing a woman and her dog after speeding in his Corvette. At the time of the crash, Ruggs was going 156 MPH which is insane speed. Additionally, he had twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system. Needless to say, the Raiders were quick to cut him from the roster.

Since that time, Henry Ruggs has been in and out of court in relation to the case. He had been facing four felony charges, as well as one misdemeanor, according to TMZ. Now, however, Ruggs has entered a plea deal in which many of his charges have been dropped. Instead, he has simply pleaded guilty to “one felony count of DUI resulting in death and one misdemeanor count of vehicular manslaughter.”

Henry Ruggs Will Be Going To Prison

With this plea deal, Henry Ruggs could get anywhere from three to 10 years in prison. However, the judge could end up deciding to overrule the plea deal. If this were to happen, Ruggs could decide to plead not guilty. Subsequently, there would be a trial, however, that seems fairly unlikely at this point. No matter what, this is a massive update in a case that has gone on for a year and a half.

Overall, this pretty well spells the end of Ruggs and his NFL career. However, for the family of the victim, that is the least of their concerns. Let us know what you think of this update, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and information from around the sports world.
