Brooke Hogan has opened up about the emotional regret she feels after removing herself from her father Hulk Hogan’s will in 2023, admitting the decision left her without a “seat at the table” regarding his legacy and estate. Although the move was originally made for her own “sanity” and “safety,” Brooke now says she struggles with not being able to ask questions or protect her father’s memory following his death. The former reality star explained that she feared the people surrounding the wrestling icon and wanted to avoid future financial conflict. However, after Hulk Hogan passed away from a fatal heart attack while recovering from surgery, Brooke said the emotional consequences of stepping away became much harder to process. Her younger brother Nick Hogan was reportedly left as the sole beneficiary of the wrestling legend’s multimillion-dollar estate, while Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily, also remains involved in handling his affairs.
Despite public assumptions, Brooke insists her regret is not about money but about feeling disconnected from decisions surrounding her father’s life and legacy. She revealed that she once acted as Hulk Hogan’s “protector” and still loved him deeply despite years of personal distance and unresolved family tension. Brooke described feeling powerless now that others are controlling matters related to her father’s estate and public image, especially with the upcoming Netflix documentary Hulk Hogan: Real American set to premiere soon. She also reflected on the pain of no longer having access to answers about the final years of his life. While their relationship reportedly became strained after years of surgeries and private disagreements, Brooke emphasized that she never stopped caring about her father. Her comments have sparked renewed public interest in the complicated dynamics within the Hogan family after the WWE legend’s passing.
