Wrestler Hulk Hogan let television viewers into his family life on Hogan Knows Best. The WWE icon passed away at the age of 71 in 2025. He was estranged from his daughter, Brooke, at the time of his death. She isn’t on good terms with her mother, Linda Hogan, either. The pop singer threatened to reveal “vile” texts from her mother amid a shocking family feud. Keep reading for all the details.
Brooke Hogan Threatens To Release ‘Vile’ Text From Mom Amid Feud
Hulk Hogan never got the chance to meet his twin grandchildren. His daughter, Brooke, had the twins in January 2025 but the wrestler passed away a few months later without getting a chance to meet them. Her mother, Linda Hogan, hasn’t met her grandchildren either. The mother and daughter have been feuding for almost a decade. But that doesn’t stop them from talking about each other in the press and on social media.
Linda Hogan recently shut down her daughter’s claims that Hulk Hogan slept with a friend of Brooke’s. Linda Hogan reportedly said she was “confused” and “hurt” by the estrangement. Her daughter had another take on the situation. She blasted her mom and threatened to release “vile” text messages.
The wounded fawn. I have one of the most vile text messages I’ve ever seen from a human being that she sent my husband to the point where I’d be embarrassed for her if I actually got to where I had to release it to correct this narrative,” Brooke Hogan told Us Weekly in a recent interview.
Hulk Hogan’s daughter added, “I don’t want to get into the mud with the pigs.” She encouraged her mom to be honest about their “tumultuous” relationship. Brooke Hogan also shared an update on her relationship with her brother, Nick.
Where She Stands With Her Brother
Brooke Hogan immediately removed herself from her father’s will after his death. She revealed to Us Weekly that the last time she talked to her brother was shortly before Hulk Hogan passed away.
“Since Dad’s death, my brother has ghosted us while publicly embracing his position as the keeper of Dad’s legacy — all while saying we’re “in a great place.” We don’t even talk,” she explained.
Brooke Hogan doesn’t seem interested in reaching out to her brother to repair their relationship. “I would have to see some empathy [and] effort. I’d have to see some actual respect, not fake praise,” she said. The family dynamic changed too much after her parents divorced. For now, Brooke Hogan is focusing on her own family with her husband and their two kids.
