Hulk Hogan's Estranged Daughter Brooke Hogan Breaks Silence After Mom Linda Hogan's Emotional Video

Hulk Hogan's estranged daughter, Brooke Hogan, has fired back after her mom, Linda Hogan, aired the family's dirty laundry in an emotional video on Wednesday.

In Linda's video, she blamed Hulk, real name Terry Bollea, for causing the family's rifts.

However, in her response, Linda said her mom is as much to blame for the ongoing drama in the Hogan family.

Brooke didn't waste time responding to her mom's emotional video. She did so via a lengthy Instagram post on Thursday night.

"I try very hard to ignore issues surrounding my family, in hopes I might have peace in my life," she began. "Sadly, I've intentionally made myself smaller in my professional career in music and TV; simply to dodge the public negativity surrounding my family that has continuously and relentlessly overshadowed anything I do."

Brooke said if she were alone, she wouldn't mind taking the blows and shrinking even smaller to "avoid thee dangers of speaking publicly." She added, "But I have my own family now and it's affecting more than just me at this point."

She addressed her mom's video, saying people sent it to her, and she felt "the need to address the tip of a very large iceberg that is my immediate family." She emphasized further, "What little am addressing does not even scratch the surface of what I've dealt with my entire life."

Brooke said, "I will start by saying this video is mild compared to behavior I have witnessed for the greater portion of my life. This also comes in addition to false claims that she's previously posted, then deleted."

The 36-year-old admitted that her mom had been "through A LOT of trauma and pain," adding that her heart "breaks for her." She wrote, "You can't control how others treat you, but you can control how you treat others and cope with things."

Hulk Hogan's daughter stressed that she ignored many things said about her multiple times in the past and hadn't spoken her truth. She added, "Even so, I will keep things as vague as possible to continue to protect people... that should have protected me."

Brooke noted that she had "completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents." She explained, "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."

She added, "This also pertains to 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 stressed that her revelations were not directed at either of her parents and "not in a particular order when it comes to who did what. It is my own personal truth, and you can do your own math."

Brooke continued, "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."

She added, "This vicious pattern has robbed me of any sense of self-esteem or confidence I've been trained to pretend to have."

Brooke revealed that many actions her family claimed were "for her" ultimately benefited others more. She shared how she endured years of verbal abuse, humiliating public confrontations, and vile text messages.

Additionally, she was pressured to defend her parents' actions in public, only to later discover she had been misled.

"I was misinformed, manipulated, and lied to," she wrote, adding that she suffered while others profited from her pain.

Despite repeatedly forgiving betrayals and hoping to rebuild bonds, she was treated as a pawn and made to feel "downright stupid."

Brooke lamented that many people witnessed this behavior but stayed silent, likely to maintain their ties to fame and financial perks.

Now a wife and mother, Brooke emphasized that she is determined to break the toxic cycle. She revealed she has gone through therapy, set boundaries, and prioritized her own family.

"It ends with ME," she declared, acknowledging the deep pain of severing ties with her parents.

She admitted that she still loves them deeply and grieves the absence of a normal family. However, their actions became more painful than their absence.

Brooke urged people to respect her decision to remain quiet about specific details, saying, "Do not mistake my kindness—or silence—for weakness."

Ultimately, she chose peace over chaos, stating, "I want so much to be able to enjoy what’s important...my children and my life I have worked so hard to create and protect-and I hope everyone can give me the chance to do that without injecting any more poison into it."

Brooke Hogan's lengthy post followed Linda Hogan's recent Instagram Stories video, where she revealed the deep divisions within her family.

Linda tearfully claimed that her daughter, Brooke, has cut her off for nearly eight years despite her attempts to reconnect.

She also reflected on her troubled marriage to Hulk Hogan, describing him as a "sex addict" and a "liar" who failed to mend family ties.

Linda expressed sadness over the ongoing conflict and her decision to remain single after her painful past.

Meanwhile, she praised her son, Nick, for maintaining a close relationship with her.

Linda and Hulk were married from 1983 to 2009 and share Nick and Brooke. The former wrestler has since remarried twice, first to Jennifer McDaniel from 2010 to 2021 and most recently to Sky Daily, who he married in 2023.
