Earlier this week, Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife Linda posted a disturbing video to social media. In it, she broke down in tears as she revealed that their daughter Brooke has cut each of them out of her life. Now, Brooke is firing back by accusing her parents of engaging in “vicious” abuse against her.
Brooke Sounds Off
Brooke, 36, took to Instagram on Thursday to post a lengthy response to her mother’s “concerning” video.
“What I’m about to say is not pointed at either person,” Brooke wrote. “It is my own personal truth, and you can do your own math.”
“I have been EXTREMELY verbally and mentally abused since childhood,” she continued. “Sadly, it would frequently turn physical. And sometimes it’s not by the person you would assume, abuse comes in all shapes and sizes.”
Brooke went on to say that she has “completely separate reasons for going no contact with” either parent. She also said that the respective estrangements from Hulk and Linda have “nothing to do with each other.”
“Each individual, on their own, has given me more than enough reasons over the years to make this extremely hard and painful decision to end contact,” Brooke explained.
Not stopping there, Brooke broke down the abuse that she allegedly suffered. She claimed that it ranged from “berating and vile text messages” and “public reamings” to “blatant lies [and] manipulation,” referring to herself as a “pawn.”
Brooke ended her post by asking for “the chance to” “enjoy what’s important” — the “life and children [she] worked so hard to create and protect” — without “injecting any more poison” into it.

Linda Breaks Down
This came one day after Linda, 65, posted a video of herself breaking down in tears to social media.
“It’s been 15, however long years since I left Hulk Hogan, and my family is the worst mess,” Linda lamented. “Brooke doesn’t talk to us. She had twins, she got married [and] she didn’t tell us.”
Brooke married Steven Oleksy in 2022. She then gave birth to twins Oliver Andrew and Molly Gene in January of this year.
According to Linda, Brooke stopped speaking to her eight years ago after the young woman got in a fight with Hulk, 71.
“I don’t know how that reflected onto me but she cut me out too,” Linda recalled.
Linda then stated that she is still close to her and Hulk’s younger son Nick, 34. Indeed, she said that “he’s still such a good boy.”
Linda proceeded to lash out at Hulk, who she was married to from 1983 until 2009. Their entire family starred on the reality show Hogan Knows Best from 2005 until 2007.
“I have to be honest about what I went through in my marriage,” Linda said. “And what it entailed and what it [has] caused over the years.”
“He’s a complete liar. He’s a sex addict. Yet he marches on, like, ‘Oh, I’m promoting my own beer, real American beer. Yeah, look at me,’ she added, referring to Hulk’s beer company.
“I’ve given him more opportunities to come back and make up the family,” she concluded. “It’s been 20 years and I’m still this sad. Somebody please explain that. I do love living alone. I don’t ever want to be married again after him, trust me.”

Brooke Skips Hulk’s Wedding
As for Hulk, he has yet to comment on any of this publicly. He married his current wife Sky Dailey in September of 2023. Brooke was noticeably absent from the wedding. At the time, she took to Instagram to say that her family had “experienced a LOT of change.”
“For my own journey to healing and happiness, I have chosen to create some distance between myself and my family, and am focusing on people and things that heal my heart and align with my own personal beliefs, goals, and values,” she wrote at the time.
This is clearly a very messy situation for the entire Hogan family. All we can do is hope and pray that each of them find peace.
