Brooke Hogan has opened up about why she removed herself from Hulk Hogan’s will in 2023.
“I was now pregnant with twins and married, and my husband’s family is so kind and so sweet. And I have something to lose, money didn’t matter,” the daughter of the WWE icon said Tuesday on former Hulk friend Bubba the Love Sponge’s show.
“I was sobbing, and I just said, ‘Take me off everything, I don’t want to be a part of it.’”
Hulk, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died at the age of 71 on July 24 after a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Fla.
Brooke, 37, said she took herself off the will to avoid potential conflicts with other family members, including her mother, Linda Hogan, and Hulk’s third wife, Sky Daily.
Brooke expressed concern because Linda “has been known to kind of find herself in the mix with things like that,” and because she had heard that Daily was a Scientologist, and knew the organization had “powerful backing.”

“I’m like, ‘I don’t want to fight Linda, I don’t want to find Scientology, I don’t want somebody that I love to get knocked off, I don’t know how deep this stuff goes,’” Brooke said. “It scared me, and I just said, ‘I want out.’”
She did qualify that remark by saying she had “no problem” with Daily, who she said was always nice to her.
She then added that she hopes her father would have trusted her with his intellectual property and trademarks, because she “would have done the right thing.”

“I would have made him an Elvis legacy, or a Marilyn Monroe legacy, or a Selena [Quintanilla-Perez] legacy,” she said. “And I hope that whoever has his marks does that. I just know that the people around him are pretty shady and not in his best interest.”
Brooke was not in attendance at Hogan’s 2023 wedding with Daily, and TMZ reported that Brooke and Hulk had their last conversation two weeks before the wedding.
In an Instagram post last week, Brooke honored her father in a post that said: “You were my everything and I will always be your daughter – for all the love, light and goodness you brought into this world.”
