Brooke Hogan Discusses Her Relationship with Hulk Hogan
In a heartfelt interview with TMZ’s Harvey Levin, Brooke Hogan opened up about her complex relationship with her late father, WWE legend Hulk Hogan. She shared insights into her absence from his funeral, her decision to disinherit herself from his estate, and concerns about those close to him during his final years.
Reasons for Estrangement and Personal Boundaries
Brooke explained that her two-year separation from Hulk was a necessary step to safeguard her well-being. She expressed distrust toward certain individuals within his inner circle, describing them as "shady" and manipulative. "The estrangement was a boundary," she said. "I noticed behaviors that raised red flags, and I voiced my concerns to my dad. His response was just, ‘You have to live your life, and I have to live mine.’"
Attending the Funeral and Honoring Her Father
She also confirmed that she chose not to attend her father's funeral, citing his own wishes for a simple cremation and scattering of ashes. Instead, Brooke honored him by spending a personal moment with her children at the ocean, symbolizing closure.
