Brooke Hogan breaks silence after Hulk Hogan’s death, calls out WWE Back to video
After sharing an emotional tribute on Instagram, Brooke then took aim at those criticizing her for not appearing in tributes, calling out WWE in the process.
While her younger brother Nick appeared during the company’s tribute on Monday Night Raw, the 37-year-old former reality TV star and singer claims she was not invited.
“For those of you giving me crap for not attending my dad’s tributes, WWE did not extend an invite,” Brooke wrote on an Instagram Story on Wednesday.
Brooke had posted a tribute to her late father on Tuesday, sharing that despite their recent differences, they had a “connection deeper than words.”
“My dad’s blood runs through my veins. His eyes shine through my children. And our blood has never broken, not even in his final moments,” Brooke wrote.

“We never had a ‘big fight.’ My father and I never ‘fought.’ It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand. My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support.”
It also was reported on Tuesday that Brooke had asked to be out of her father’s will, hoping to avoid any potential issues surrounding his estate.
According to TMZ, Brooke removed herself from the will in 2023 to avoid a financial battle following his death because she didn’t trust the people around Hogan.
The outlet reported that she had concerns about trying to protect her dad from people she felt were trying to take advantage of him, which caused a rift between the two and led to Brooke contacting Hogan’s financial manager to have herself taken out of the legal document.
Brooke reportedly still will receive some money from a life insurance policy that she was a beneficiary on and will put the money towards her children’s college funds.
Brooke starred alongside her father, brother and mother, Linda, in the reality TV show Hogan Knows Best, which ran for four seasons from 2005-07.
Hogan, real name is Terry Bollea, died last Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest at his residence in Clearwater, Fla.
