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.”
