Brooke Hogan, daughter of the late wrestling legend, has responded to her mother Linda Hogan’s public comments about their estrangement, stating she has evidence to back up her side of the story. The divide between Brooke and her family has been ongoing for years.

Warning of Evidence

Linda Hogan expressed her distress over Brooke’s distance from the family, accusing her of abandoning them. Brooke replied on Instagram, hinting she might release proof supporting her reasons for the separation.

“This close to breaking out some screenshots,” Brooke warned, emphasizing the impact of repeated public criticism from her mother.

Linda had shared family photos online, insisting Brooke was loved and lamenting the feeling of being discarded “like trash” by her daughter. Brooke’s reaction suggests a different memory of events and a readiness to make private messages available if needed.

The Historic Family Rift

The Hogan family became well-known in 2005 through their reality show “Hogan Knows Best,” showcasing their lives and Brooke’s emerging music career. The dynamic shifted when Linda filed for divorce from Hulk Hogan in 2007, finalized in 2009, leading to estrangement from both parents.

Brooke’s separate grievances with each parent were clarified in a March 2025 Instagram post. She mentioned severe mental and verbal abuse during childhood, alongside other issues.

“I longed for a normal family,” Brooke expressed, revealing attempts to support her family despite feeling manipulated and deceived.

She mentioned establishing boundaries that were ignored, leading to her decision to cease contact.

Brooke on Hulk Hogan’s Passing

The family faced renewed attention following Hulk’s death in July 2025 after suffering cardiac arrest. Despite estrangement, Brooke expressed continued love for her father, wishing for openness before his death.

In an April interview, Brooke detailed how their relationship became strained due to changes in her father’s life choices.

“I am the daughter that wanted to save him,” she noted, discussing the challenges of helping someone resistant to change.

She maintained that distancing herself from both parents was due to individual circumstances and not a preference for one over the other.

Fox News Digital’s coverage included interviews with Brooke, providing insight into the complex dynamics within the Hogan family.
