Just when Linda Bollea thought things were finally and officially over between her and ex-hubby Hulk Hogan, the former pro-wrestler released a new book “My Life Outside the Rings,” which has his former flame outraged after his reference to her as an “abusive alcoholic.”

“As far as what he has said about Linda, it’s not accurate about her being involved with heavy alcohol and being abusive, and trying to hit Nick with a wine bottle? Absolutely false,” Bollea’s attorney Ray Rafool said. “It’s disappointing and it is irritating. we disagree and wish he would have stuck to the facts instead of sensationalism to sell his book. It does reheat a lot of stuff, but it makes her feel all the more happy that she’s divorced and away from him. He’s Jennifer’s problem now.”

In the book Hulk also opened up about the suicidal thoughts he experienced for a few days while drinking and handling a gun that he had kept in the closet.

“You can now understand the fear that Linda had when she was going through the divorce because she knows his personality, heard these rumors, knew what he was doing, and that’s the reason why she was so concerned. We’re thankful that at this point, he has straightened his life out,” Rafool said.

A rep for Hulk said that he “stands by what is written in the book.”

At this stage, Bollea doesn’t intend to file a suit against her ex over his claims, however the two are still entwined in a bitter legal battle. On Thursday, Hulk filed a motion against Linda for enforcement, stemming from when she took legal action when the settlement agreement was not met but according to her attorney, they will most certainly be filing another motion over his continued failures.

And despite murmurs that their 21-year-old daughter Brooke Hogan does not even speak to her mother as a result of the messy divorce (and the fact Linda is now in a serious relationship with one of her high school acquaintances), things between the two are now apparently sweeter then sweet.

“They’re very good. Brooke has been spending a lot of time with Linda in California. It’s been a great revolution that they are back together, mother and daughter, very close, and in fact, she talked to Brooke today at least once or twice,” Rafool added. “They’re back the way it was. It’s one nice thing about the divorce being over, the kids don’t have to feel they’re in the middle anymore.”

The courts have denied a request made by Linda Hogan’s boyfriend, who was seeking a restraining order against Linda’s estranged husband, Hulk Hogan, Access Hollywood has learned.

In court papers obtained by Access, Charley Hill, 20, claims Hulk (whose real name is Terry Bollea) has been following and threatening him.

However, the court denied Hill’s request.

Following the court’s ruling, David Houston, an attorney for Hulk, released the following statement to Access:

“This is just another blatant attempt by Linda Hogan to try to defame Hulk Hogan’s character. We commend the judge on seeing through this ridiculous stunt and denying these baseless claims.”

Linda, 49, filed for divorce from Hulk, 55, in November 2007 after 24 years of marriage.

Back in August, Hulk sat down with Access Hollywood’s Maria Menounos to open up on his split from his wife.

“As crazy as that sounds to say, I wish I was still with my wife,” Hulk told Maria.

“There have been rumors that maybe this divorce was a ploy to protect your assets,” Maria said.

“If this is a ploy, her being intimate with a 19-year-old kid is pretty good acting,” Hulk added. “For me to be able to handle… my 50-year-old wife sleeping in a bed with a 19-year-old boyfriend and using my gym, and driving my cars, and living in my house. I guess we’ve got a pretty good act going on ’cause that’s a lot to take on.”

THERE’S about to be a reality rumble. Beth Smith – Duane “Dog” Chapman’s wife and star of “Dog the Bounty Hunter” – is slamming Hulk Hogan’s estranged wife, Linda, as a drunk and a slut. Smith, who is friends with Hulk, is appalled Linda is dating a 19-year-old schoolmate of her daughter, Brooke. Smith wrote on her family’s blog, “I know she [Linda] told [Hulk] she was gonna fix his ass, but it looks to me like he looks like an angel and she looks like a slut . . . I used to really like Linda, but then we started to get to know her and she is a real drunk.” We can’t wait to hear what Linda has to say.

WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan says he has fought a lot of bad guys in his day.

Who takes the title?

Ex-wife Linda Bollea!

“Without a doubt, this one is the most formidable opponent I’ve ever run into,” he tells Usmagazine.com.

“You talk about dirty tricks: Brass knuckles, steel knuckles, cheap shots,
tripping people up. I’ve never seen anybody in the wrestling business that has more dirty tricks than she does!” he adds. “I guess I taught her well.”

After 23 years of marriage, Linda, 48, surprised Hogan, 54, last November by filing for divorce. (He learned of the split from a newspaper reporter.)

Since then, the two have been embroiled in a messy war.

On June 30, Linda filed papers alleging that he “relentlessly and methodically” stalks her, “causing her anxiety and fear for her safety at all times.” (His lawyer has called the claim “pure fantasy.”)

They also have clashed over assets (she recently accused him of not paying his share of their $4.2 million Las Vegas condo).

Brooke Hogan, who feuded with her father earlier this year after he dated one of her pals, is no longer on speaking terms with her mother, who is romancing one of her 19-year-old former classmates.

“I’m totally freaked out,” Brooke said of the relationship.

The acrimonious split between the Hogans has gotten even nastier.

Linda Hogan filed court documents on June 30 seeking to prevent her estranged husband from harassing her. In the documents, first reported by TMZ.com, Linda Hogan, 48, claims that Hulk Hogan, 54, “relentlessly and methodically” follows her, “causing her anxiety and fear for her safety at all times.” The motion also claims that Hulk “has a history of violence” towards Linda, “and is capable of attacking [her] at any time.”

In a statement, David Houston, a lawyer for Hulk (whose real name is Terry Bollea) shot back: “Linda Bollea’s allegations are pure fantasy, in line with her recent 911 call that has been widely played in the media.

“On May 22, Linda called 911 claiming Hulk was stalking her, which Hulk vehemently denied. Since November, Terry Bollea has been in Los Angeles working. The limited time that he has spent in Florida has been solely to visit his son and daughter. In addition, he has no history of violence.”

The documents are the latest salvo in the contentious divorce. When Linda filed for divorce in November, Hulk learned of the filing from a reporter. The couple has wrangled over assets and traded barbs, although Hogan told PEOPLE last month that he unconditionally loves Linda.

It’s been a rough year for the Hogans. In addition to the split, 17-year-old Nick is serving eight months in jail for a felony charge of reckless driving, stemming from an accident that seriously injured family friend John Graziano.

Celebrity news site TMZ discovered a taped conversation between Linda Hogan and her incarcerated son, Nick, that revealed the mother of the accused has little sympathy for the victim’s family.

Nick, who was convicted of reckless driving following a 2007 car crash that left his friend John Graziano critically injured, is currently serving eight months in a Florida jail. On the tape, Nick could be heard complaining about his jail time, telling his mother, “I’m just sitting here counting the minutes on my damn fingers,” before Linda took over the conversation.

“I just feel so bad that you’re there, because, truthfully Nick, you don’t deserve to be there and, ultimately, John doesn’t deserve to be where he is,” Linda assured her son. “But you know what? You guys were best friends, and (John’s mother) Debbie didn’t know you. Neither did (John’s father) Ed. They didn’t know you.”

In fact, Linda doesn’t believe John’s parents even knew their own son very well. “I knew him better than his own mother knew him. Would you agree on that? I mean, anybody would agree.”

Hulk’s soon-to-be ex even claimed her own grief is greater than that of the victim’s family. “(Debbie) has no other recourse other than to be nasty and vindictive now, because if she really knew you, if she really knew the relationship between you, John and (another friend), she’d be sad right now. She wouldn’t be mad. You know, she’d be devastated like I am. She’s not sad; she’s just acting angry, like she wants some money. John never meant anything to her or Ed. It’s sad because I really appreciated you kids, I miss John, and I miss you, too. It’s like she’s not suffering. I am. I have a loss. She didn’t give two sh–s.”
