BROOKE HOGAN UNVEILS HEARTBREAKING TRUTH ABOUT HER STRAINED RELATIONSHIP WITH LATE FATHER TERRY "HULK HOGAN"

In a poignant and revealing interview with TMZ, Brooke Hogan, 37, opens up about her complicated relationship with her father, the late Terry "Hulk Hogan," who passed away on July 24 at the age of 71 due to a heart attack. The estrangement between them has been well-documented, but in this intimate conversation, Brooke sheds light on the reasons behind their separation and shares some shocking details about their final interactions.

The About Us singer, known for her sultry voice and captivating stage presence, reveals that she was "uncomfortable" with some of the people surrounding her father, including his entourage. However, it's clear that she didn't have a problem with his wife, Sky Daily, 46. Brooke explains that her decision to set boundaries and distance herself from Hulk was not taken lightly.

"It wasn't about Sky; it was about a number of people I didn't trust," she confesses. "I had seen behavior in them, and I said, 'Dad, flashing yellow signs.' It was like, 'Hey, this is messed up. Are you going to do anything about it?'"

The six-time WWF champion's entourage seemed to be a major point of contention for Brooke, who felt that her father was often surrounded by unsavory characters. "He was never alone," she notes. "There were always people around him." This led her to express concerns about the company he kept, but Hulk's response left her feeling frustrated and worried.

In one of their final conversations, Brooke recalls that her father seemed nonchalant about their estrangement, saying, "Well, I guess you have to live your life and I have to live mine." This statement was a stark contrast to the close relationship they once shared, and it marked a turning point in their complicated dynamic.

One particularly painful memory that Brooke shares is an incident where she witnessed her father being "callous" with a contractor who was working on one of his properties. The contractor's text message to Brooke still resonates with her: "Are you OK, kid? That hurt me watching what I saw." This interaction showcases the toll their strained relationship took on those around them.

Brooke reiterates that she had no issues with Sky Daily, whom Hulk married after his divorce from Linda Hogan. However, there were times when Brooke expressed reservations about her father's decisions, particularly regarding his marriage to Sky. "He told me if I broke up with her, it would be bad," Brooke shares. "But when I asked why, he just said, 'I don't wanna get into it.'"

Their text exchanges reveal a more nuanced picture of their relationship. Brooke reveals that she found her father's behavior to be "childish" at times, which left her feeling hurt and emotional. "There were hurtful things that he kind of said," she admits.

In the wake of Hulk's passing, Brooke has been taking steps to honor his memory with her family. Alongside her husband, former NHL star Steve Olesky, 39, they took their seven-month-old twins, Oliver Andrew and Molly Gene (who shares her grandfather's middle name), to the beach for a heartwarming tribute.

"We honored you in the simplest way that agreed with my soul," Brooke writes on social media. "We took our babies to the beach, and put them in the same salty waters you loved." This tender gesture showcases the love and respect Brooke still holds for her father, even as she acknowledges their complicated past.

In a separate post, Brooke shares a poignant memory from a WWE show where Hulk walked her down the aisle during a "wedding" segment. The moment has stayed with her, and she recalls feeling nervous and emotional as if it were real.
