Brooke Hogan is pushing back after her mother, Linda Hogan, challenged her account of a painful family issue. The singer says she will not stay quiet while the two remain estranged. Brooke also says she still loves her mother despite their ongoing conflict. The latest clash centers on claims involving her late father, Hulk Hogan.
Brooke Hogan tells mom Linda to stop “bullying” her and “rewriting history” amid their family feud
Brooke spoke exclusively to Us Weekly on Friday, Sept. 25. She said she hopes Linda, 67, finds “whatever help and healing she needs.” “She’s my mom, and I love her,” Brooke said. She then accused Linda of “bullying you, publicly rewriting history” and provoking her while expecting her to stay silent.
Linda had rejected Brooke’s recent comments about Hulk allegedly having an affair with Brooke’s friend Christiane Plante. “I was there and no he didn’t,” Linda wrote on Instagram Friday. Brooke responded by sharing part of Linda’s 2011 memoir, Wrestling the Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes. In that passage, Linda wrote about Brooke telling her about Hulk’s affair with Plante and said the conversation confirmed her suspicions.
Brooke also urged her mother to stop the public back-and-forth. “She would be wise to stop here,” Brooke told Us. “The truth is documented,” she added, while saying she had no interest in starting a fight. Brooke also said she did not want to “continue to absorb attacks quietly.”
Linda filed for divorce from Hulk in 2007 after 24 years of marriage, and their divorce became final in 2009. Plante confirmed her affair with Hulk to the National Enquirer in 2008 and said they privately knew the marriage was ending. Brooke recently said the alleged affair marked “a major turning point” in her relationship with her father. She also released her new song “Goes Around” on Friday, which she connected to the family drama.
