Linda Hogan Accuses Daughter Brooke of Narcissism in Ongoing Family Dispute
The tumultuous family drama involving Hulk Hogan and his ex-wife Linda Hogan continues to unfold, with Linda now publicly labeling her daughter, Brooke Hogan, a ‘narcissist.’ This latest salvo in their escalating feud follows a tearful online video where Linda accused the former wrestling icon, Hulk Hogan, of deceit and infidelity, further exposing deep rifts within the Hogan family.
Linda Hogan’s Emotional Outburst and Accusations
Earlier this week, Linda Hogan posted a video online expressing extreme distress. In the video, she sobbed while alleging that her former husband, the famed WWE personality, is a ‘complete liar’ and characterized him as a ‘sex addict.’ Linda further claimed that Terry Bollea, Hulk Hogan’s real name, had left their family in ‘the worst mess,’ particularly lamenting Brooke’s decision to sever ties with both parents amid the family turmoil.
Brooke Hogan’s Rebuttal on Social Media
Brooke Hogan responded to her mother’s accusations via a vehement Instagram post on Thursday. She countered by asserting that her father was not solely responsible for the deep divide within the family. Brooke’s response suggested complexities beyond her father’s actions as the root cause of their fractured relationships.
Linda Hogan’s Facebook Statement and Counter-Claims
In a follow-up, lengthy statement released on her Facebook account, Linda Hogan addressed Brooke’s remarks directly. She refuted allegations of abuse towards her daughter, claiming instead to have been the victim. Linda’s statement intensified the already strained familial relations, introducing further layers to the public dispute.
Narcissism Allegations and Family History
Linda wrote in her Facebook post: ‘It appears narcissism runs deep within this family. Brooke is a narcissist, mirroring her father… venturing out… spreading falsehoods to everyone, and I am expected to defend my truth against that.’

Brooke Hogan (pictured with Hulk Hogan in 2006) has indicated her father is not the only cause of family estrangement.
She continued, ‘I have no intention of doing so… it seems she wants to conceal the truth from her new spouse and his family regarding her past persona and previous actions! I recall spanking Brooke perhaps once, and yes, I may have used a few names, but I certainly never treated her in the manner she is portraying.’
‘They possessed cell phones. She could have publicly disclosed unfavorable information about me during the supposed times these events occurred, but she did not, because nothing of that nature transpired. However, when she sided with her father after the divorce and composed the ‘wonderful Mom’ song, and engaged with tabloids because Terry was exploiting her… her recollection is completely distorted regarding the treatment she received growing up in our household, and this can be verified by anyone.’
‘Inquire with anyone, even Terry… none of these events occurred. It’s her tactic to isolate her current family from her past, revealing her behavior after consuming half a bottle of vodka. She became so intoxicated she fractured my collarbone, lacerated my lip, and insisted on being taken to the hospital claiming poisoning, which was untrue. She was merely drunk… there are numerous similar instances.’
‘I will not elaborate further, but I will not defend against these absurd accusations publicly. I will address them in court if she persists.’
Hulk and Linda Hogan’s Marriage and Family
Terry Bollea, famously known as Hulk Hogan, and Linda were married for 26 years, from 1983 to 2009. Together they have two children: Brooke, aged 36, and Nick, aged 34.
Marriages and Continued Family Discord
Hulk Hogan remarried Jennifer McDaniel in 2010, but they divorced after eleven years. In 2023, he married Sky Daily, his third wife, in a ceremony notably absent of Brooke. Linda Hogan has remained unmarried since her divorce from Hulk Hogan. Her recent video message expressed her anguish over being prevented from having a relationship with Brooke, who recently became a mother to twins in January with her husband Steven Olesky.
Linda’s Tearful Plea and Estrangement from Brooke
‘It has been 15 years, or however long it has been, since I separated from Hulk Hogan, and my family is in utter disarray,’ Linda tearfully conveyed.

‘Brooke is not in contact with us. She had twins, she got married, and she did not inform us.’
‘She had a major disagreement with Terry. I am uncertain how that affected me, but she has also excluded me. I have not spoken to her for seven, almost eight years.’
Brooke’s Allegations of Childhood Abuse
Brooke Hogan presented her perspective on Thursday, asserting that she experienced ‘verbal and mental abuse’ throughout her childhood. She detailed the personal reasons behind her decision to cease communication with both parents, pointing to individual and distinct issues with each.
Explaining her estrangement from her parents, Brooke stated: ‘My reasons for cutting off contact with each parent are entirely separate. My lack of contact with my Mother is unrelated to my Father, and vice versa. This also extends to my father’s second and third, and now current wife. This decision was solely based on their individual treatment of me throughout my entire life.’
She further elaborated: ‘I have endured EXTREME verbal and mental abuse since childhood. Regrettably, it frequently escalated to physical altercations. And occasionally, it is not from the expected source; abuse manifests in various forms.’
Brooke Hogan states disagreements with her parents often turned physical during her childhood years.

Failed Attempts at Reconciliation
Continuing her emotional declaration, Brooke Hogan conveyed her efforts to mend her relationships with her parents, ultimately concluding that she needed to move forward independently. She described repeated attempts to reconcile and the ensuing disappointments.
‘I earnestly wanted to see the good in them, protect, help, and begin anew—only to face repeated disrespect,’ she wrote. ‘I yearned for a normal family dynamic, but it never materialized.’
‘I have consistently extended my hand to assist them, only to be drawn into their negativity. I established boundaries that were disregarded, and at this juncture, I genuinely can do no more.’
