Graziano Family: Hogans, Stay Away
For all of you who praised Nick Hogan Bollea Whatever and his family for visiting John Graziano in the hospital, where he lays in a coma after the horrific auto accident caused by Nick, I offer Exhibit A…the Graziano family, who are sick and tired of the Hogan family using their son as a publicity stunt:
Linda, Brooke and Nick Bollea are no longer welcome at the hospital bedside of John Graziano.
That’s because the trio went to the hospital on Valentine’s Day with gifts, and images of their arrival showed up on celebrity news Web sites, the Graziano family’s attorneys said Wednesday.
“We believe that it was a total (public relations) stunt,” said attorney Kimberley Kohn.
Dang…don’t these people ever wear just normal jeans and t-shirts?  Is that what people wear to the hospital nowdays? “Oh, this stuff? Yeah, we totally dress like this to sit around the house and run errands. It certainly isn’t for a photo op. High heels are so comfy to shop in and wear on slick hospital floors!”
It seems that when the Hogan trio went to visit John, laden down with goofy presents that he wouldn’t see (after all, the man is in a coma…while he might be able to hear and feel touches, he certainly isn’t looking around) and chocolates that he wouldn’t be eating, photos of their “good deed” ended up on various celeb websites. The feeling is that this bunch needs all the good press it can get, seeing as how daddy Hulk can’t keep it in his pants, mom Linda is coming across as a terrible mother, and Brooke and Nick are…well, Brooke and Nick. Do I really have to explain that one?
This news is far removed from the original statements released by the Grazianos at the time of the accident:
“My son John has been very close to the Bollea family for over six years,†she wrote. “They are like extended family. Since day one of this nightmare, they have been with us physically, emotionally, mentally and financially.â€
She added that Hulk, his wife, Linda, and Nick have been with the family at the hospital every day praying for John’s recovery and offering food and support.
“They came and faced our family and friends not knowing what response they would get,†said Graziano.
It seems that the family has finally had enough of the Hogans, just like the rest of the world:
Whether a lawsuit will be filed in the wreck is a question of when, not if, the family’s attorneys said. The family faces “astronomical” costs to care for Graziano in the future, attorneys said.

I saw the photos of the family going to the hospital on Valentines and as you say I thought the huge useless gifts were really strange and the thought struck me that I had never seen a pic of them visiting John before though they were supposed to be visiting daily in the beginning. I also read somewhere where John’s girlfriend stated that Nick very seldom bothers to visit John and that he doesn’t show any remorse, etc. I think that the Hogan’s visits have been few and far between as time has gone by. Also there are probably hard feelings because it was reported that Linda can no longer pay for John’s mother’s condo because of the impending divorce and that after this September Debra may have to move. So I guess if Debra’s not getting any support (money) from the Hogan’s there’s no use bothering with them anymore.

I wonder if they still want the “Hulk” to visit? (every five weeks if he can find time) (insert sarcasm)
