Brooke Hogan, the 35-year-old daughter of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, has bravely shared intimate details about her fractured relationship with her father in a candid new interview.
The singer and reality TV star revealed the emotional challenges she's faced since their very public falling out, which began in 2015 after Hulk Hogan was caught using racial slurs on tape.
A Daughter's Heartbreak
"It's been incredibly painful," Brooke admitted. "Having your family drama play out in the media makes everything so much harder. I've had to learn to protect my peace."
The former Hogan Knows Best star explained how she's worked through feelings of abandonment while trying to maintain boundaries. "There were times I felt completely lost," she confessed. "But therapy and self-reflection have helped me heal."
Life After the Spotlight
Since stepping away from the public eye, Brooke has focused on her music career and personal growth. "I'm in a much better place now," she shared. "I've learned that my worth isn't defined by my last name or my family's mistakes."
The entrepreneur also discussed launching her own businesses and finding fulfillment outside of wrestling's shadow. "It's been liberating to create my own path," she said with a smile.
A Glimmer of Hope?
When asked about reconciliation, Brooke remained cautiously optimistic. "The door isn't completely closed," she revealed. "But there needs to be accountability and real change first."
Fans of the famous family will no doubt be watching closely to see if father and daughter can eventually mend their broken bond.
