In a dramatic turn of events, Brooke Hogan, the daughter of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, has responded fiercely to her mother Linda Hogan, who publicly wept while blaming her ex-husband for the family’s ongoing rift. Brooke, 36, asserts that her mother shares a significant part of the blame for their troubled family dynamics.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Brooke described her experience growing up in a household laden with personal turmoil. She stated, “I have been EXTREMELY verbally and mentally abused since childhood,” and added that the trauma often escalated to physical altercations.

The tensions escalated when Linda Hogan, 65, released a heartfelt video identifying Hulk Hogan—whose real name is Terry Bollea—as the cause of her daughter’s estrangement. She called him a “liar” and a “sex addict,” revealing her feelings of abandonment as Brooke began her own family without including them. Linda lamented, “It’s been 15 years since I left Hulk Hogan and my family is the worst mess.”

Brooke, however, clarified her position regarding the strained relationships with both parents. She emphasized that her decision to go no contact with her mother had nothing to do with her father and vice versa. “This decision was made purely based on how they have each dealt with me directly my entire life,” she explained.

The rising celebrity, who married former Washington Capitals player Steven Olesky in 2022 and welcomed twins in January, expressed that her mother’s actions in the video were mild compared to her past experiences. “You can’t control how others treat you, but you can control how you treat others,” Brooke asserted, acknowledging her mother's painful experiences but emphasizing the need for accountability.

Brooke's candid revelations didn’t stop at her family dynamics; she also expressed the emotional toll of feeling exploited by those around her. “I’ve been ASKED to defend poor behavior, only to find I was misinformed, manipulated, and lied to. I’ve watched others benefit financially off my suffering,” she lamented.

Despite the chaos, Brooke continues to show resilience. She stated that she has forgiven the significant challenges she faced in both her personal and professional life. “No child or human should ever experience something like this,” she declared, highlighting the importance of breaking the cycle of abuse and fostering healthy relationships.

As this family saga unfolds in the public eye, it leaves fans questioning what the future holds for Brooke, Hulk, and Linda Hogan. Will the family ever reconcile, or is this just the tip of a much larger iceberg? Stay tuned for more updates on this chaotic yet incredibly captivating story.
