Why Hulk Hogan’s estranged daughter, Brooke, was removed from late wrestler’s will: report
Brooke Hogan was reportedly removed from her late father Hulk Hogan’s will — but she’s okay with that.
The “Brooke Knows Best” star asked to be removed from her dad’s will in 2023 because she didn’t trust those around him and didn’t want to be involved with the financial mess, insiders told TMZ.
However, Brooke is still expected to receive some funds from a life insurance trust that Hulk took out on himself. Brooke is named as one of beneficiaries and has plans to put the modest amount of money she should receive toward her children’s college funds.
The fate of Hulk’s other assets remain unclear at this time.
Brooke’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Brooke, 37, and Hulk (whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea) were estranged for several years prior to his death Thursday due to several issues including his alleged treatment of her.
Earlier on Tuesday, she spoke out on her father’s death, saying in a statement, “My dad’s blood runs through my veins.”
“His eyes shine through my children. And our bond has never broken, not even in his final moments. We had a connection deeper than words, one that spanned lifetimes. I am so grateful that I knew the real version of him. Not just the one the world viewed through a carefully curated lens. We shared a quiet, sacred bond, one that could be seen and felt by anyone who witnessed us together.”
Sources previously said Brooke felt “grateful” that she was able to have said “I love you” one last time to her dad in their final conversation.
The last conversation was said to have taken place in September 2023 — just around the time Hulk tied the knot with his wife, Sky Daily.
Still, a source close to the Hogan family told Page Six that the pair had a lot of love for each other despite their estrangement.
“He was very proud of her, she was his little girl,” the source shared. “We still can’t believe he is gone.”
The wrestling legend was pronounced dead after Clearwater Fire & Rescue personnel were dispatched to his Clearwater, Fla., home late Thursday morning in response to a call about a “cardiac arrest.” He was 71.
Brooke’s brother, Nick, allegedly informed his sister of their dad’s passing.
