Hulk Hogan’s daughter revealed she cut contact with the WWE icon due to ‘how he’d dealt with her directly her entire life’.
The former wrester, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea, died earlier today (Thursday, July 24) at his Florida home.
Hogan, 71, who was believed to have suffered a cardiac arrest, was locked in a public feud with daughter Brooke.
Brooke also cut ties with her mother Linda, who touched on the drama in a tearful social media video.

In the clip, which she posted in March, Linda said: “It’s been 15 – or longer – years since I left Hulk Hogan and my family is in the worst mess.
“Brooke doesn’t talk to us. She’s had twins. She got married, she didn’t tell us…
“She had a huge fight with Terry. I don’t know how that reflected onto me, but she cut me out too.”
The Mirror reports that despite the feud, Linda felt Hulk wasn’t bothered.
She continued: “I have to be honest about what I went through in my marriage with Terry as Hulk Hogan and what it entailed, and what it has caused over the years.
“He marches on, like, ‘Oh, I’m promoting my own beer, real American beer. Yeah, look at me.’
“He’s such a hero, right? Not. I’ve given him more opportunities to come back and makeup the family.
“It’s been 20 years and I’m still this sad. Somebody please explain that.”
Brooke issued a scathing statement in response to her mum’s video.
She insisted she had “completely separate reasons” for not reaching out to either of her parents.
“There was a recent video posted by my Mother that was concerning enough for people to send to me, that has made me feel the need to address the tip of a very large iceberg that is my immediate family,” she said at the time.
“What little I am addressing does not even scratch the surface of what I’ve dealt with my entire life.
“I will start by saying this video is mild compared to behaviour I have witnessed for the greater portion of my life.
“This also comes in addition to false claims that she’s previously posted, then deleted.
“That being said, she has been through A LOT of trauma and pain, my heart breaks for her.
“You can’t control how others treat you, but you can control how you treat others and cope with things.”
Brooke continued: “I have completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents.
“This decision was made based purely on how they have each dealt with me directly my entire life.”
Hulk never directly addressed the family drama, but he did share a clip of himself and his new spouse Sky eating popcorn whilst staring wide-eyed at the camera.
He captioned the post: “Getting ready for the new HH TV show coming soon!”
