Family drama is nothing new for the Hogan household, but Linda Hogan’s latest comments have taken the feud to an unexpected turn.
Just days after accusing her ex-husband, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, of being a “sex addict” and a “complete liar,” she’s now stepping in to defend him—at least as a father.
A Family Feud Gone Public
The rift between Linda and her daughter, Brooke Hogan, has escalated in recent days, with both women airing their grievances publicly.
It all started when Linda, 65, made scathing remarks about her former husband, claiming he left their family in turmoil and contributed to their estrangement from Brooke.
However, in an unforeseen twist, Linda has now shifted her stance, claiming that while Hulk may have been a “terrible husband,” he was always a devoted father who spent millions supporting their daughter’s career.
Linda Calls Out Brooke’s Behavior
In a candid interview with TMZ, Linda didn’t hold back her disappointment with Brooke, 36, who recently welcomed twins with her husband, former NHL player Steven Oleksy.
Linda expressed her heartbreak over being left out of her daughter’s life, saying, “The damage is already done. I don’t think she could hurt us anymore.”
She claimed that Brooke has been unfairly punishing both her and Hulk, as well as her younger brother, Nick Hogan, by cutting them out of her life.
The Fallout from Linda’s Accusations
This back-and-forth comes just after Linda launched a verbal attack on Hulk, blaming him for the family’s falling out.
She accused him of creating a toxic environment, leading to their daughter’s decision to distance herself from both parents.
Brooke, however, fired back earlier in the week, insisting that her father wasn’t the only reason behind the strained family ties.
Accusations and Counterclaims
Linda continued to deny any wrongdoing, refuting Brooke’s claims that she was abusive.
Instead, she turned the tables, alleging that she was the one who suffered mistreatment.
In a heated moment, she even labeled Brooke a “narcissist just like her dad.”
The mother and daughter have reportedly been estranged for nearly eight years, though Brooke posted an old family photo in an attempt to dispute that claim.
A Complicated Family History
Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was married to Linda for 26 years before their highly publicized divorce in 2009.
Following their split, Hulk remarried Jennifer McDaniel in 2010, though that marriage ended after 11 years.
In 2023, he tied the knot for a third time with Sky Daily, in a ceremony Brooke did not attend.
Linda has suggested that Brooke’s loyalty to her father may be tied to his fame and fortune, implying that her daughter distanced herself from her in order to remain in Hulk’s good graces.
She also admitted that during their marriage, she often played the “bad cop” while Hulk took on the role of the easygoing parent.
Where Does the Hogan Family Go from Here?
With emotions running high and accusations flying back and forth, it remains unclear if there’s any hope for reconciliation between Linda and Brooke.
However, if recent events are anything to go by, this family feud is far from over.
Whether this latest twist will lead to a truce or fuel even more controversy remains to be seen.
