Brooke Hogan Fires Back: WWE Omission Sparks Family Drama
The Hulkster's Family Feud: Brooke Hogan Roasts WWE for Not Inviting Her to Tribute
In a shocking twist, Hulk Hogan's estranged daughter Brooke has blasted the WWE for not extending an invitation to her father's tribute ceremony following his sudden death last week. The drama-filled family saga continues to unfold as Brooke, 37, fired back at critics of her absence from both ceremonies.
Brooke, a television personality and wife to former NHL player Steven Oleksy, took to Instagram to set the record straight on Wednesday. "For those giving me c* for not attending my Dad's tributes, @WWE did not extend an invite," she wrote in an explosive post that left fans stunned.
TheScholarlyNote.com has confirmed that WWE has indeed been contacted for comment on the matter. Meanwhile, Hulk Hogan's son Nick, 35, looked visibly emotional as he stood alongside WWE stars past and present for a poignant tribute to his father ahead of Monday Night Raw.
A heart-wrenching video montage of Hulk's greatest WWE moments was displayed, leaving Nick on the verge of tears just four days after his dad's passing. The tribute also included a 10-bell salute, which left fans in awe. However, Brooke remained noticeably absent from both ceremonies.
This isn't the first time Brooke has faced criticism for her handling of her father's passing. Just last week, she revealed that she "had to step away to protect my heart" during the final two years of her father's life. Brooke and Hulk Hogan were known to have a complicated relationship, with sources close to the family revealing that they had not spoken in nearly two years.
The estrangement between Brooke and her father was reportedly sparked by disagreements over his declining health. Despite Brooke's pleas for him to slow down, Hulk continued to work tirelessly, leaving her feeling emotionally drained. The last time they spoke was in September 2023, when Brooke expressed love and concern for her father during a phone call.
In an emotional statement on Tuesday, Brooke broke her silence on Hogan's death and their rift. "He was telling me these things, being so vulnerable with me and heard my pleas, then suddenly something shifted, and he made a choice to walk the path that clearly tore at his spirit," she wrote in a heartfelt post.
Brooke also touched on the family feud, alleging that her mother Linda had verbally and mentally abused her during their childhood. The drama unfolded after Brooke's ex-husband accused Hogan of being a "complete liar" and "sex addict." In response, Linda defended Hulk and branded her daughter a "narcissist."
Amidst all the chaos, Brooke and Steven found a touching way to honor the wrestling icon by naming one of their twins Molly Gene Oleksy - the same middle name as the late wrestler's. Oleksy, who married Brooke in 2022, also broke his silence on Tuesday, urging fans to respect the family's private grieving process.
As TheScholarlyNote.com continues to follow this developing story, it's clear that the Hogan family drama is far from over. With more twists and turns on the horizon, fans are left wondering what's next for Brooke, Nick, Linda, and the rest of the wrestling world.
