Hulk Hogan’s daughter, Brooke Olesky, has fired back at her haters on Instagram as she reposts edited versions of her bikini body in the wake of her recent tribute to her father. The 38-year-old took to the platform earlier this week with a touching share honoring her WWE star dad, who passed away in August 2025. Hulk, who died at the age of 71 last summer, was all over Brooke’s post in photo and video mode, with the ocean theme reminding everyone of his love of the water. Brooke had kicked off her gallery with a beach shot of herself sunbathing in a bikini. Now, the hard-hitting blonde is back to defend her post.
Hulk Hogan’s Daughter Doubles Down On Bikini Photo
Scroll for all the photos. The first set, seen above, was posted on Thursday as Brooke told fans she’d been crying “endless” tears. In a touching tribute to her father, the blonde shared moments including Hulk handling a BBQ and counting down to an ocean sunset, with every moment seeing him on or near the water.
“Needed some time with my thoughts, my daddy and the ocean he loved so much,” Brooke wrote, noting how much her father “loved” the ocean.

While the post earned many tender responses as fans tried to support Brooke during her grief, some chose to turn on her. A hugely popular remark instructed Hulk Hogan’s daughter to “make peace” with her mother, and given the follow-up post, it seems some had an issue with the opening, bikini-clad slide.
Just one day later, Brooke returned to Instagram, posting the above for her 600,000+ followers. Sharing an edited version of her body that was much heavier, out of shape, and covered in cellulite, the Brooke Knows Best star wrote: “Would my post have been more sincere if THIS girl were at the beach mourning her dad?”
‘Shame On Anyone For Demonizing’ Her Moment
In an angry caption, Hulk Hogan’s daughter fired back at her followers, opening:
“Trust me, if I wanted to give you a thirst trap, you would have gotten one. If I were a surfer, a swim instructor, heavier, thinner… would it be less shocking? I grew up in swimsuits. I understand that not a lot of the world gets that. But this is my home. This is me.” She also threw “shame” on anyone “demonizing” her day, seemingly disgusted with some of the responses she’d received. Her gallery included further daughter-and-dad moments, but this time with some showing her in a bathing suit.
Asked To Be Cut Out Of His Will
The original photo also came posted in various versions, including a skeletal one. Brooke asked if her original bikini shot made her “an attention wh*re.” In 2023, Brooke asked to be cut out of her father’s will to avoid any messy financial situations or proximity to certain family members.
