Brooke Hogan Exposes Hulk & Linda CREEPY Past │ Both Parents Were SICK | HO

The Hogan family has always been the poster child for reality TV dysfunction, but the latest bombshell from Brooke Hogan is blowing the doors off the family’s carefully crafted image.

For years, fans watched Hulk Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, and his wife Linda parade their “All-American” family on TV, but Brooke is finally breaking her silence—and what she’s revealing is so disturbing, it makes the wrestling drama look like child’s play.

Brooke Hogan is done protecting her parents. She’s exposing the ugly truth about Hulk and Linda: both were abusive, manipulative, and, frankly, creepy as hell. It’s a story filled with racism, predatory relationships, and betrayal—one that’s left Brooke as the lone survivor with her integrity intact.

Verbal Abuse, Racism, and the Hogan Family Curse

Brooke’s childhood was a nightmare of verbal and emotional abuse, and she admits it often escalated to physical violence. “Emotionally and physically abusive is not acceptable,” she says. But in the Hogan household, it was the norm. The family’s public image was just a mask for what was really going on behind closed doors.

The racism ran deep. Hulk’s infamous n-word rant wasn’t a one-time slip—it was a window into the family’s mindset. Hulk was caught on tape in 2015 using the n-word repeatedly, furious at Brooke for dating a Black man. “I’m a racist to a point,” Hulk said on the tape, before launching into a tirade about not wanting his daughter to date Black men. And it wasn’t just Hulk.

Linda Hogan publicly called Black people “un-civilized,” and doubled down when she was called out. The family’s racism was an open secret in the industry.

Nick Hogan: The Forgotten Disaster

And then there’s Nick Hogan, Brooke’s younger brother, whose reckless behavior nearly killed a friend. In 2007, Nick crashed his car while driving drunk, leaving his passenger with catastrophic brain injuries. But instead of learning his lesson, Nick kept getting arrested for DUI. Through it all, Hulk and Linda enabled him, even filming and cheering him on as he drag-raced illegally.

Linda’s love for Nick was unconditional. “God bless Nick. He’s still such a good boy,” she sobbed in a recent video. Meanwhile, she blamed Brooke for “tearing the family apart” simply because Brooke refused to condone their toxic behavior.

Hulk’s Creepy Obsession and Hypocrisy

Hulk Hogan’s obsession with controlling Brooke’s image was legendary. On reality TV, he acted like the overprotective dad, threatening to body-slam any guy who dared to date his daughter. But behind the scenes, Hulk was the one crossing every boundary.

In 2007, Hulk had an affair with Christianne Plante—Brooke’s best friend at the time. The affair happened while Hulk was still married to Linda, and Christianne later confessed everything to Brooke in an apology note. Hulk even admitted the affair in his memoir, but instead of apologizing, he brushed it off like it was no big deal. “We were only intimate about five times,” he wrote, refusing to acknowledge the pain he caused his daughter.

And while Hulk was busy banning Brooke from dating, he was hooking up with her friends. The hypocrisy was staggering.

Linda Hogan: From Mom to Cougar

Linda Hogan didn’t waste any time after discovering Hulk’s affair. She filed for divorce, but instead of focusing on her kids, she went full cougar mode—dating a 19-year-old named Charlie Hill, who went to school with her son Nick. Linda was 48 at the time, and Charlie was part of Brooke’s social circle.

Brooke was understandably horrified. “The fact that he’s your age, Nick, it’s just as weird,” she told her mom. But Linda wasn’t interested in listening. She gaslighted Brooke, acting like she didn’t know why her daughter was upset. In interviews, Linda bragged about dating someone so young, calling it “addictive” and “fun.” She even claimed breaking up with Charlie was harder than divorcing Hulk!

“I never dreamed I’d be dating somebody that young,” Linda gushed. “It was just a rush. I was addicted to it.” She couldn’t care less about how it affected her children.

Parents Who Prey

What’s even creepier is that both Hulk and Linda hooked up with people their kids’ age. Hulk slept with Brooke’s best friend, and Linda dated a kid barely out of high school. Instead of apologizing, they acted like victims—blaming Brooke for being “unforgiving” and “difficult.”

Linda even went public, sobbing on social media about how Brooke “cut her off,” claiming she hadn’t seen her daughter or met her grandchildren in years. But according to Brooke’s husband, Steven Olexi, that’s a lie. He revealed that Brooke tried to reconnect after giving birth to twins, but Hulk showed no interest in meeting his grandkids. “I sent text messages to gauge where he was at, but there was no interest,” Olexi told People.

Nick promised to visit with Hulk to meet the twins, but they never showed up.

Brooke: The Only Sane Hogan

Despite everything, Brooke tried to be the bigger person. She moved to Florida to be closer to Hulk as he got older, flying down for every surgery, taking notes from every doctor. But Hulk never showed her the same love or affection. He refused to meet his grandkids, proving once and for all what kind of man he really was.

And the root of it all? Hulk never forgave Brooke for dating a Black man. He never changed. Even after being exposed, he blamed his upbringing and claimed he was “broken” by the scandal—not by his words, but by the fact they were made public. His “apology” was all about himself.

WWE’s Shameful Silence

After Hulk’s racist rant went public, WWE quietly brought him back without ever addressing the harm done to Black fans and wrestlers. Hall of Famer Mark Henry revealed that Hulk never tried to make amends. Henry even suggested a tour of Black colleges and law schools to explain what happened, but Hulk refused.

“He never wanted to go forward and fix it,” Henry said. “He thought everything was going to go away. It’s not going to go away.”

And if you think Hulk changed in his final years, think again. Less than a year before his death in November 2024, he was photographed with a man wearing a “Make America White Again” hat and an “88” hoodie, flashing a white power sign.

Brooke Refuses the Hogan Fortune

With all this toxicity, it’s no wonder Brooke wanted out. In 2023, she asked to be removed from Hulk’s will, telling sources she didn’t trust anyone around him and didn’t want to get dragged into a financial battle after he passed. Instead, Brooke worked as a waitress to pay the bills, eventually starting her own interior design company. She wanted nothing to do with her parents’ money or drama.

Fans are praising Brooke for her integrity. “Brooke Hogan needs to be studied, man. What a woman she is,” one user wrote on X. “Imagine asking to be taken out of the will of a millionaire wrestler and going to college for interior design, getting by working as a waitress. She’s the best Hogan.”

Brooke: Breaking the Cycle

Brooke Hogan’s story is a rare case of someone breaking free from generational trauma and refusing to repeat the sins of her parents. She didn’t go public with a breakdown or try to cash in on her pain. She just quietly walked away, choosing peace over drama.

“Praying for Brooke Hogan, Hulk Hogan’s daughter, who has been very private but vocal about being estranged from her abusive parents,” another fan wrote. “It is such an experience to be abused by parents and family and have people invalidate your feelings for the sake of how they feel about the people who harmed you.”

The real tragedy is that it took so long for Brooke’s truth to come out. But now, with the world finally listening, maybe the next generation of Hogans can grow up free from the darkness that haunted their family for decades.
