Vince McMahon Claims N-Word Abuser Hulk Hogan 'Wasn't A Racist,' X Says That's Cap Brother
Source: Getty Images / Vince McMahon / Hulk Hogan Vince McMahon has come out of his cave to put on his cape for the late Hulk Hogan, whose racist past continues to haunt him after his death. In a recent interview with TMZ's Harvey Levin, former WWE CEO Vince McMahon claimed that the late Hulk Hogan 'wasn't a racist,' even though he described himself once on tape as 'racist to a point' and used the N-word. He also admitted that Hogan 'said some racist things.' McMahon, who has been off the radar and out of the spotlight since he was aired out for his abhorrent behavior, did admit that Hogan's past remarks were 'racist,' while adding they were 'unforgivable,' but said in his opinion that it was 'not like him.' We care about your data. See our privacy policy. Levin also pressed McMahon about welcoming Hogan back into the WWE fold after previously distancing away from him, going as far as removing him from the WWE Hall of Fame. Hogan did apologize for his remarks, but pretty much doubled down after aligning himself with the MAGA movement, which doesn't hide its white pride bullsh*t disguised as an 'America first' agenda when he proudly stumped for the Racist-In-Chief, Donald Trump, showing up at one of Felon 47's rallies. 'I knew he wasn't a racist,' McMahon said. 'I'd been with him for so many years. He wasn't a racist. He said some racist things, and he should pay for that, and he did. But in the end, I think that everyone saw the real Hulk Hogan, Terry Bollea, and they felt [like] 'Now, wait a minute. This guy, he doesn't act like a racist.' He's not a racist. We all make mistakes. That was a big on,e but he wasn't a racist.' The conversation with McMahon is part of TMZ's The Real Hulk Hogan special that also features appearances from Sylvester Stallone, Mick Foley, and others. Following Hogan's death as a result of a heart attack, his 'complicated' legacy became a topic of discussion, with many body slamming him for being a racist. Still, that didn't stop people from somehow managing to separate the man from his racism, and celebrating him for being an influential figure and icon in the world of professional wrestling. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was one of the many paying their respects to the disgraced wrestler, calling him his 'childhood hero.' In response to the clip featuring McMahon, users on X have been calling C A P, while wondering what the hell is going on with his physical appearance. ' I was watching the TMZ special on Hulk Hogan. Vince McMahon looks like he's embalmed,' one post on X, formerly Twitter, read. Others electronically rolled their eyes at McMahon's claims that while Hogan said racist things, he wasn't a racist. Well, there ain't a damn thing complicated over here, we're just saying. You can see more reactions in the gallery below.

Loni Love Says There's 'No Beef' Between Her And Tamar Braxton
Loni Love isn't interested in fighting with her former The Real co-host Tamar Braxton, and she's calling for their fall-out rumors to end. During an interview on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live , Aug. 6, the 54-year-old comedian told Cohen that she had 'no beef' with Braxton, following the singer's recent apology for disparaging 'big back Cadillac' comments she made about her. Source: Frazer Harrison/ Derek White While chatting with The Breakfast Club' s Loren LoRosa ahead of the ceremony on June 8, Braxton apologized to Love for calling her a 'Big-Back Cadillac' during her recent interview with NeNe Leakes on May 14. The harsh insult didn't sting Love, because she had no clue they were beefin' in the first place. 'My thing is, you know, when all that went down, I was in Iceland, I didn't know what was going on,' the comic told Cohen on Wednesday. 'I didn't know anything, and then I got all this information. I'm like, 'You know what? People wanted me to respond?' I'm like, I never respond. Andrew, you know me,' Love chucked. 'I use my platform to entertain, inform and inspire, not to do beefs. If I was on your show, though, I would.' Braxton offered what appeared to be a heartfelt apology to Love during her candid conversation with LoRosa, saying it was never her intention to 'shame' her former co-host. However, she admitted that her feelings were still hurt and emotions remained raw over how things ended when she left The Real in 2016. 'I apologize for calling her a big-back Cadillac, not in any way did I want to shame her…. I've held on to my composure all of this time and never said nothing bad, you know. And that was just really a vulnerable moment,' she explained, noting how her comfortable repertoire with Leakes and a few cocktails led her to joke a little much. 'I apologize, Lonnie, I really want to have a conversation that could lead to reconciliation.' Notably in her interview with Leakes, Braxton opened up about the events that led to her alleged fallout with Love. She revealed that her exit wasn't just about contract issues with The Real producers. She claimed that, as both talent and a producer on the show, she became aware that Loni Love had allegedly held 'multiple meetings' behind the scenes aimed at getting her removed from the daytime talk show series. Braxton told LoRosa that when she caught wind of what was going on, she was 'devastated' because of their close 'friendship' at the time. Interestingly, she never went to Love to speak with her about the rumors after they emerged. 'It was just a lot. It was a lot. You know what? I mean?…[but] I just want to be very careful about the things that I say, because, like I said before, I want to be able to stand by the things that I say,' Braxton added. 'And on my healing journey, and when I watch things that are, not so much like me, in the now, I become, disappointed in myself, and I always want to show up as my best self, where I am proud of myself, and where I can physically see my growth and be happy about it.' Do you think it's time for Tamar Braxton and Loni Love to sit down and clear the air? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section.
