Hulk Hogan's Final Rift: No Meeting with Brooke's Twins Before Death
HULK HOGAN'S SHOCKING FAMILY FEUD: Son-in-Law Claims Wrestling Legend "Had No Interest" in Meeting Newborn Twins
The shocking news of Hulk Hogan's passing at 71 has sent shockwaves throughout the world of wrestling, but what's even more jaw-dropping is the drama that's been unfolding behind the scenes. The WWE icon's daughter Brooke was left reeling after her late father snubbed her and her newborn twins in his final days.
According to sources close to the family, Hogan's son-in-law Steven Oleksy claims that he reached out to the wrestling legend just a month and a half after their twins were born in January. However, Oleksy alleges that Hogan had "no interest" in meeting his new grandkids. The news is all the more devastating considering the fact that Brooke has been open about her struggles with her father's declining health and her efforts to care for him.
Oleksy, a former NHL star and husband of Brooke, says he sent text messages to Hogan to gauge his interest in meeting their twins, but claims there was no response. This is not the first time that Oleksy has spoken out about the family feud - back in April, reports claimed that he had made several attempts to "foster peace" with Hogan, but was rebuffed.
It's clear that the rift between Brooke and her father was significant enough for her to have to take a step back from their relationship. In an interview, Oleksy shared that Brooke would often fly down to Florida on her own dime to care for her father, only to be met with indifference. "No one understood his body, procedures, medications and everything else more than my wife," he said.
The family drama doesn't stop there - in April, Us Weekly reported that Oleksy had been trying to broker a reconciliation between Hogan and Brooke for years. The outlet claimed that Oleksy had even requested a "man-to-man conversation" with Hogan, but was met with resistance.
Meanwhile, Brooke has been vocal about her hurt and frustration over the snubbing she received from the WWE when they paid tribute to her father. Taking to Instagram, she shared a scathing message for the wrestling organization: "For those of you giving me s* for not attending my Dad's tributes, @WWE did not extend an invite."
It's clear that Brooke and Oleksy are still reeling from the shock of Hogan's passing, but it's also evident that they're coming to terms with the fractured relationship they had with him. As Brooke navigates this difficult time, she can take comfort in knowing that her family is rallying around her - including her brother Nick, who honored his father at a recent WWE tribute.
In a heartfelt statement, Nick described Hogan as his "best friend" and paid tribute to their complex but loving relationship. "I had the privilege of sharing my life with him," he said. "He was more than just a dad; he was my rock, my mentor, and my best friend."
As the wrestling world continues to mourn the loss of Hulk Hogan, it's clear that there's still much to be revealed about his complicated family dynamics. One thing is for sure - this shocking family feud is one for the books.
The Scholarly Note has reached out to the WWE for comment on Brooke's snubbing from their tribute, but so far, no response has been received.
