Why Hulk Hogan’s Daughter Brooke Is No Longer Close With Her Family

The Hogan family was rocked by scandal in 2008 when it was revealed that Hulk Hogan had cheated on Linda Hogan. To further complicate matters, the woman he had an affair with was Christiane Plante, a good friend of Brooke Hogan’s. “My relationship with Terry [Hulk] began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending,” Plante told The National Enquirer at the time (via Today). 

Meanwhile, Brooke poured out her heart in an emotional Myspace blog post. “When your best friend and one of your closest family members that you have loved unconditionally since your first day on this earth, betray you together … you will NEVER forget the hurt they caused you,” she wrote. A couple of months later, Brooke lashed out at her ex-friend on Myspace. “Nothing you say will ever put my family back together,” she wrote (via Page Six).

Brooke did not hold a grudge against her father for long, and they made amends. “My dad and I had a little bit of a tiff earlier this year … I was disappointed for a minute,” she said on Fox News in 2008. However, the same did not apply to Brooke’s relationship with her mother Linda, as Brooke said she was “disappointed with her.” 

The next year, Brooke was still feuding with Linda. “We don’t talk … I feel betrayed,” the Hogan daughter told E! News. Later, when Brooke was set to tie the knot herself, Hulk intervened.
