Hulk Hogan‘s ex-wife Linda has revealed that she has not spoken to her daughter Brooke for eight years, in an emotional post on Instagram on Wednesday.

Addressing her fans on Wednesday, the TV personality, 65, explained that she was estranged from Brooke, 37, who she shares with the former WWE star, 71, from their marriage of 26 years.

Labelling her family’s dynamics as the ‘worst mess’, a sobbing Linda blamed Hulk for her lack of relationship with her daughter, claiming he had had a bitter fight with her eight years ago.

She told followers on social media: ‘It’s been 15, however long years since I left Hulk Hogan, and my family is the worst mess.’

Linda then reflected ruefully on her daughter’s private wedding with Steven Oleksy in 2022, as well as the birth of their twins Oliver Andrew and Molly Gene in January.

She added: ‘Brooke doesn’t talk to us. She had twins, she got married [and] she didn’t tell us.’

Addressing an alleged dispute between Hulk and their daughter, Linda said: ‘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.’

In contrast, the TV star insisted that their son Nick, 34, was ‘still such a good boy’.

Linda added: ‘I have to be honest about what I went through in my marriage and what it entailed and what it [has] caused over the years.’

The extraordinary rant saw her dash from one topic to another and began with her explaining the reason behind her tears.

‘I’m just home by myself today,’ she began. ‘Again, as usual, I’m okay with most things, but today something hit. I don’t know what hit, but I look terrible because I’ve been crying.

‘Yesterday I went to go get Botox and s*** and they bruised me.’

Linda saved her most vicious comments for WWE icon Hulk, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, who married his third wife, Sky Daily, 45, in 2023.

She said: ‘He’s a complete liar. He’s a sex addict. Yet he marches on, like, “Oh, I’m promoting my own beer, real American beer. Yeah, look at me.”

‘I’ve given him more opportunities to come back and make up the family. It’s been 20 years and I’m still this sad. Somebody please explain that.

‘I’ve never put a Facebook [post] out like this with my ugly face and my crying face, but I have to be honest about what I went through in my marriage with Terry.

‘It’s been 20 years and I’m still this sad. Somebody please explain that. I don’t know. It just doesn’t get better.

‘I do love living alone. I don’t ever want to be married again after him, trust me.’

Linda was briefly engaged to a younger man, Charley Hill, then 19, following her 2009 divorce from Hulk.

At no point did the former TV star explain the specifics of her issues with her ex or their daughter Brooke, but the former couple certainly did go through a lot together.

After marrying the WWE legend in 1983, Linda became a celebrity in 2005 through their VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best.

But while the series was popular, their son Nick struggled with fame, resulting in a number of high-speed auto collisions.

The former TV personality (pictured, with Hulk in 1992) added: ‘It’s been 20 years and I’m still this sad. Somebody please explain that. I don’t know. It just doesn’t get better’

The worst came in 2007, when his 22-year-old friend and passenger John Graziano was left with permanent injuries due to single-car crash.

Linda filed for divorce soon after and quickly began dating Charley, although their relationship ultimately fizzled.

Linda was arrested in 2012 for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.

Months earlier, Hulk was caught in bed with the wife of friend and radio personality, Bubba the Love Sponge, which lead to another major scandal. 

The sex tape, released by Gawker, later became the subject of a major lawsuit.

The wrestler sued Gawker for £77million ($100m) for defamation, loss of privacy, and emotional pain, although it was later revealed that billionaire Peter Thiel helped him finance the case. Gawker later settled for £24m ($31m).

These days, Hulk is known as an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump.

He endorsed Trump’s candidacy at the 2024 GOP convention and later spoke in favour of his fellow reality TV star at a Madison Square Garden rally in October.

He even pitched himself to be Trump’s Vice President before JD Vance was chosen.

It was a far different scene in January when Hulk was booed by WWE fans in Los Angeles.

The wrestling icon, who has a love-hate relationship with WWE fans after a series of controversial moments outside the ring, was a special guest as the company presented the first show of its £3.9bn ($5bn) deal with Netflix.

When he entered the Intuit Dome he was roundly booed by the crowd, much to the surprise of fans watching on at home.

Hulk was chucked out of the WWE in 2015 after a tape surfaced of him making racist remarks, including the use of the n-word.

In a video made public by The National Enquirer, the sports star said, ‘I guess we’re all a little racist’, and used the n-word while referring to his daughter’s love life, repeating the phrase ‘f***ing n******’ several times.

He is reported to have said that ‘a black billionaire guy’ had offered to bankroll her, then speculated about her sex life.

Hulk said: ‘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******. 

Linda added in her rant: ‘He’s a complete liar. He’s a sex addict. Yet he marches on, like, “Oh, I’m promoting my own beer, real American beer. Yeah, look at me”

These days, Hulk is known as an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump (pictured: the duo together in 1987) and was well received at pro-Trump rallies last year

‘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*****.’

He was initially kicked out of the WWE Hall of Fame but has since been allowed back in and has repaired his relationship with the power brokers at the company.

These days Brooke is married to former NHL player Steven. The couple has two children.
