Brooke Hogan Recalls Trying to Give Her Dad Love Advice
Hulk Hogan Knows Best
When Brooke Hogan asked to be taken out of her father Hulk Hogan’s will, it was because she didn’t want her new family to be caught up in any kind of litigation battle over his estate. She was hoping, however, that he would see it as a gesture of her honesty and best intentions. As she revealed recently on The Bubba the Love Sponge Show, however, that isn’t what happened.
“I asked to be taken out of the will and my dad did it,” she explained. “You know, I think I imagined that there would be some sort of ‘Why?’ or ‘Hey, you’re the only person I trust. Like, let’s talk about it.’ But we had already talked about it.”
“I was again looking through my text messages at things that I was texting him,” she said. “And it’s funny because in the text messages I’m listing what he said to me about the people around him. And I’m like, ‘You’ve told me this, this, this, and this. Dad, I’m only watching out for you.’ And when I was pigeonholed — is what it felt like — and had to make this decision that I felt I had to at the time, I was so upset and it was even more upsetting to see how quickly you could be erased and how much it was like, okay, cool, f you then.”
In trying to address some of Hulk’s bad personal decisions, like sleeping with Brooke’s friend Christiane Plante, and making the infamous sex tape with Heather Clem, Brooke says she received only defensiveness. “Even when we were talking, there were tit for tat things. I’d be like, ‘Dad, you know, Heather was a choice. Christiane was a choice. Like, you can make a new choice. Like let’s let’s try to take this last part of your life and really do it right, you know? I’m here, me and Steve moved down here. Let’s do it.’ And it was like, ‘Well, I haven’t been proud of your choices either.’ And I’m like, I’m sorry, but I haven’t done drugs and I haven’t effed your best friend, and what did I do wrong? I dated and decided when a guy was not right for me, I did the right thing and left and ended up with a good guy. I like what did I do, you know?”
