Hulk Hogan's Son Has Nude Photos Hacked

He's the first male in a growing list of celebrities to have personal photos hacked via iCloud.

The latest twist in the iCloud celebrity nude photo hacking scandal has a Tampa Bay tie.

It seems professional wrestler Hulk Hogan’s son Nick has become the first male to have his photos hacked and leaked, according to TMZ. That site reports the amount of photos leaked are “voluminous and graphic.” They date back to Nick’s high school days and include some rather strange shots, including one of his mother, Linda, in a thong.

Nick, who uses the stage name Hogan like his famous dad, joins such other celebrities as Kim Kardashian, Kate Upton and Jennifer Lawrence in having personal photos released. The hack into the celebs’ iCloud accounts has sparked an ongoing investigation, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Hogan, 24, appeared on his father’s reality TV show “Hogan Knows Best,” which aired on VH1 from 2005 until 2007. The show was shot at the family’s mansion near Clearwater. Nick Hogan, who is also known as Nick Bollea, also made headlines in 2007 at the age of 17 when a street racing accident in Clearwater left his passenger, John Graziano, seriously injured.

Nick Hogan served five months in jail and four years of probation after pleading no contest to a reckless driving charge.

This latest brush with notoriety shouldn’t cause legal problems for Nick Hogan, WFLA reports, even though some of the photos picture underage girls.

Local attorney Bryant Camareno told the station it all depends on when the photos were taken and if Hogan was underage at the time, too.

Camareno says the hacking scandal shows that it could happen to anyone. He offered this advice:

“Just don’t take those pictures, and don’t post them, because they’re going to be found.”
