Brooke Hogan, the daughter of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, has spoken candidly about their strained relationship, the fallout from his racism scandal, and the emotional toll of growing up in the spotlight.
The Estrangement: A Family Divided
In a recent interview, Brooke revealed that she and her father have been estranged for years, with their relationship deteriorating after his highly publicised divorce from her mother, Linda Hogan. "It's been painful," she admitted. "Family should be everything, but sometimes the damage is too deep."
The Racism Scandal That Shook the Wrestling World
Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, faced massive backlash in 2015 when a leaked audio recording captured him using racial slurs. The scandal led to his removal from WWE and a tarnished legacy. Brooke, now 35, reflected on the incident: "It was a dark time for all of us. I had to distance myself to heal."
Life After the Spotlight
Despite the turmoil, Brooke has forged her own path as a singer and reality TV star. However, she admits the weight of her father's controversies has been difficult to escape. "People judge you based on your last name," she said. "But I’ve learned to define myself on my own terms."
Whether reconciliation is possible remains uncertain. For now, Brooke is focused on her own growth—away from the chaos of her father's turbulent career.
