Hulk Hogan‘s estranged daughter Brooke has fired back at her mom for blaming their family problems on the wrestling legend.
Hogan’s ex-wife, Linda, posted a disturbing online video on Wednesday that showed her uncontrollably sobbing as she accused the former WWE star of being a ‘complete liar’ and a ‘sex addict’ who has left his family ‘in the worst mess’ after Brooke cut both of her parents out of her life.
Brooke responded in a stunning Instagram rant on Thursday, where she insisted her father was not the only reason behind the shocking family divide.
Addressing her decision to cut ties with her mother and father, Brooke wrote: ‘I have completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents. No contact with my Mom has nothing to do with my Dad, and no contact with my Father has nothing to do with my Mother.
‘This also pertains to my dad’s second and third, now current wife. This decision was made based purely on how they have each dealt with me directly my entire life.’
She added: ‘I have been EXTREMELY verbally and mentally abused since childhood. Sadly, it would frequently turn physical. And sometimes it’s not by the person you would assume, abuse comes in all shapes and sizes.’

Continuing her emotional statement, Brooke claimed she had tried to repair her relationship with her parents, but had finally decided that she needed to move on without them in her life.
‘I so badly wanted to see good in them, protect, help, and start anew – just to be disrespected again and again,’ she wrote. ‘I longed for a normal family, but it never came to fruition.
‘I’ve repeatedly held my hand out to help them, only to have them pull me into the darkness with them. I’ve set boundaries that were not respected, and at this point, I can truly do no more.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to Hulk Hogan for comment.
Hogan – real name Terry Bollea – and Linda were married for 26 years between 1983 and 2009. They have two children together – Brooke, 36, and Nick, 34.
Hogan remarried in 2010 when he tied the knot with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010, but they split 11 years later. He married his third wife, Sky Daily, in 2023, in a ceremony that Brooke did not attend.
Linda has not remarried since her divorce from Hogan. Her video on Wednesday saw her hit out at Hogan for preventing her from having a relationship with Brooke, who welcomed twins with her ice hockey husband Steven Olesky in January.
‘It’s been 15 however long years since I left Hulk Hogan and my family is the worst mess,’ a tearful Linda explained.
‘Brooke doesn’t talk to us. She had twins, she got married [and] she didn’t tell us.

‘She had a huge fight with Terry. I don’t know how that reflected onto me. But she cut me out too. I haven’t talked to her for seven years – almost eight years now.’
Brooke has now revealed there is another side to the story, suggesting her father is not completely at fault for everything that has gone wrong with their family.
Hogan, who shot to fame as one of wrestling’s biggest stars in the 1980s, was booed out of the WWE by fans when the show launched on Netflix in January.
Fans turned on him after a tape resurfaced of him making racist remarks, including the use of the n-word, in a 2015 rant, where he also speculated about Brooke’s sex life.
According to Radar, the audio features him using a number of racist remarks in a rant about Brooke, who was trying to launch a music career, to Heather Clem, the wife of a friend.
He is reported to have said that ‘a black billionaire guy’ had offered to bankroll her, then speculated about her sex life’.
Hogan told Clem: ‘I don’t know if Brooke was f***ing the black guy’s son… I mean, I don’t have double standards.

‘I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f***ing n******. But then when it comes to nice people and s***, and whatever.’
He continued: ‘I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f*** some n*****, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n***** worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!
‘I guess we’re all a little racist. F***ing n*****.’
Hogan subsequently pulled out of another WWE show just weeks after being booed out of the arena in Los Angeles.
