Brooke Hogan's Heartbreaking Estrangement: The Real Reasons Behind the Rift with Hulk Hogan
HULKAMANIAC DAD SHOCKER! Brooke Hogan's Explosive Reveal: "Dad Was a Sex Addict and Abusive"
In a bombshell expose, Brooke Hogan has come forward with stunning allegations about her estranged father, the late WWE legend Hulk Hogan. The 37-year-old daughter of the wrestling icon claims she cut ties with him years ago due to his toxic behavior, not because of his marriage to Sky Daily.
Brooke's husband, former NHL star Steven Oleksy, has corroborated her account, revealing that the family rift was a long time coming. "My wife will say it – it had nothing to do with his new wife," Oleksy told PEOPLE (via thescholarlynote.com). "It had to do with the way he treated [Brooke]."
According to sources close to the family, Hulk Hogan's behavior towards Brooke was far from heroic. Insiders claim that the wrestling legend used racial slurs in reference to her ex-boyfriend, a move that would have left many parents reeling.
Oleksy paints a picture of a father-daughter relationship marred by hurtful exchanges and untruths. "There were some things said, and a lot of mistruths," he recalled. Brooke's husband claims that the final straw came when Hogan told him, "I don't do weddings or funerals anymore." The cold-hearted comment was seen as a clear indication that the wrestling icon had checked out on his family.
As the estrangement between Hulk Hogan and Brooke deepened, Oleksy made every effort to keep the lines of communication open. However, he claimed that each conversation with his father-in-law only drove him further away from the relationship. "I was trying to protect my wife," Oleksy confessed. "But every conversation just led me further to protect my family and my wife at all costs."
Despite their complicated past, Brooke's love for her father remained unwavering. In a heart-wrenching statement after his passing, she penned: "My dad's blood runs through my veins... His eyes shine through my children... We had a connection deeper than words, one that spanned lifetimes." However, the emotional toll of their estrangement would eventually prove too much for Brooke to bear.
Now, it seems that Brooke was wise to keep her distance. Sources close to the family have revealed that she won't be inheriting a single penny from her father's estimated $25million estate. According to TMZ (via thescholarlynote.com), Brooke asked to be removed as a beneficiary in 2023, citing concerns about being caught up in a bitter financial battle.
This explosive reveal has left many wondering how Hulk Hogan's loved ones could have remained so silent for so long. Insiders claim that Brooke feared being taken advantage of by her father's inner circle and made the difficult decision to cut ties once and for all.
As the family drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Brooke Hogan's account of her estrangement from Hulk Hogan has left fans reeling. Will this bombshell expose finally bring some much-needed closure to the wrestling legend's complicated legacy?
UPDATE: After Hulk Hogan's death, Brooke released a statement in which she claimed that her father "made a choice to walk the path that clearly tore at his spirit." She also revealed that she felt a disconnect from him towards the end of his life. "What followed were respectful disagreements that took an emotional toll on me," she wrote.
Brooke's husband, Oleksy, corroborated her account, stating that he had stayed in touch with Hogan despite the estrangement. However, every conversation only seemed to drive them further apart.
As for Brooke's concerns about being left out of her father's will, it seems that she was right to be cautious. According to reports, her father's estate is estimated to be worth a staggering $25million – and she won't be inheriting a single penny.
The drama surrounding Hulk Hogan's family continues to unfold, leaving fans with more questions than answers. Will Brooke finally find closure now that the truth has come out? Only time will tell.
