Family Feud Overshadows Hulk Hogan’s Final Days
Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, who passed away at 71 from apparent cardiac arrest, was facing a difficult family situation in the time leading up to his death. A public rift between Hogan, his ex-wife Linda, and daughter Brooke had cast a shadow over the wrestling legend’s later years.
In March, Linda Hogan posted an emotional video on social media, revealing the extent of the estrangement. She shared her sadness that Brooke had cut off contact with both her parents, even after significant life events like the birth of twins and her marriage. Linda expressed her frustration with Hulk’s apparent indifference to the family turmoil, claiming he remained focused on self-promotion.
Brooke responded with her own statement, emphasizing that she had “completely separate reasons” for severing ties with both parents, citing lifelong issues. She acknowledged her mother’s pain but maintained her decision was based on her parents’ direct treatment of her.
Hulk Hogan remained publicly silent on the issue, instead posting a seemingly lighthearted video with his wife, Sky. The post, promoting an upcoming TV show, drew criticism from some followers who deemed it insensitive given the ongoing family drama. Several commenters called out Hogan for not prioritizing reconciliation with his daughter.
