Brooke Hogan, the actor and daughter of the star of the reality of Hulk Hogan and his first wife, Linda, accused his parents of abuse on Wednesday after his mother published a video of herself sobbing on her dysfunctional family.
“I have to be honest about what I spent in my marriage to Terry like Hulk Hogan and what I implied and what it has caused over the years and everything else,” Linda said. “He is a complete liar. He is a sex addict. However, he continues.”
Linda Hogan said she had never published a Facebook post like this, in a story expelled since then, showing her “ugly face” and “crying face” in the camera. She said they had spent years since she talked to her 36 -year -old daughter.
“She has had twins. He married, she didn't tell us; she had twins, she didn't tell us,” said Linda. “She had a great fight with Terry. I don't know how that was reflected in me, but she also cut me. I haven't talked to her for seven years, almost eight years.” (Brooke married former NHL player Steven Oleksy in 2022; they welcomed the twins in January).
Linda said he had given Hulk Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, “more opportunities to return and make us a family” and then dissolved in more tears. “I'm sorry, it's very sad. And it's been 20 years, and I'm still so sad. Someone, please explain that. I don't know, I just don't improve.”
The family reality show “Hogan Knows Best” came out of the air in 2007 and the spin -off “Brooke Knows Best” ended in 2009
Hulk, 71, and Linda, 65, separated in 2007 after almost 24 years of marriage and two children: Brooke and his son Nick, 34. He said he requested divorce after discovering that he had an adventure with his daughter's best friend. He has married twice since then, considered suicide, sued Gawker in bankruptcy after he published a recording of him having sex with a friend's wife and enthusiastically supported Donald Trump for the president.
Linda's video did not seem to cause a reaction from him, but received one from Brooke Hogan. On Instagram, he said people had found it enough to send it to him.
“I have been abused extremely verbally and mentally since childhood,” Actor-Singer-Reality Star wrote on Thursday. “Unfortunately, it often became physical. And sometimes it is not because of the person you would assume, the abuse comes in all forms and sizes. This vicious pattern has stolen any sense of self -esteem or trust that I have been trained to pretend to have.”
She said that until she was an adult, she had “received vile text messages and viles, verbal and public runs with incredibly harmful words that told me that you cannot forget.”
“They have asked me to defend poor behavior to the public and have done it for love, just to discover that they informed me, manipulated and lied to me. To this day, I faced a constant ridiculous for those bad decisions of others. I have observed others to benefit financially from my suffering and shame caused by their selfish behavior. While life caused me, I continued heading, I continued strong and silent.
“It was expected to do so, and I forgave massive blows to my career and my personal life, unpleasant behavior, omissions of truth, shameless lies, manipulation and repetitive errors with the hope of renewing previous family ties. They have used me as a pawn, a damping and they have also treated me as if I were a stupid stupid. No child should experience something like this.”
Brooke said he had established limits that had not been respected and wanted to see the good of his parents. She said that other people witnessed this behavior but never spoke, maybe not wanting to get trapped in crossfire.
“I can't blame them,” he wrote. “My family is very skilled in war.”
Brooke said both parents had given him many reasons for his decision to end the contact, despite loving them deeply, and said he had “repeatedly turned off my hand to help them, just to take me to the dark with them.”
“I have been in therapy, I am doing the job. I am breaking the chain. It ends with me,” he said, later pointing out that she also wanted the “false narrative” to end.
Linda Hogan must have seen or heard about Brooke's publication, because she responded on Friday through Facebook.
“It seems that narcissism is deep in this family. Brooke is a narcissistic like his father … to go out … throw to lie to everyone and he is supposed to defend my truth against that. I am not about to do that … I think he does not want the truth to be revealed to his new [husband] And her family about who she was and things in her past!
Linda said she hit Brooke once and called her a couple of names, but gave the children cell phones and did not treat her daughter the way Brooke had characterized. And she threatened to take her daughter to court.
“She could have published horrible things about me when all this was happening, but … did not because nothing happened, but when she took her father's side after divorce and wrote the wonderful song of mom [“Dear Mom”] And it went to all the tabloids because Terry was using it as a tool. His memory is completely biased about the treatment he received growing in our home, and can talk to anyone. You can ask anyone who can ask Terry … that none of things happened.
“It is her angle to keep her family away from her now, revealing who used to be after drinking half a bottle of vodka. I was so drunk that she broke my clavicle and cut off my lip and insisted that everyone takes her to the hospital because she was poisoned and was not.
Hours later, Brooke responded with another Instagram post.
“First of all, it seems that my mother may not have really read what I wrote,” Brooke wrote before presenting a couple of examples of his mother doing what he calls “false statements” about never knowing Oleksy and not spoken to him for years,
“My publication did not directly accuse anyone of the aforementioned behaviors. Therefore, if something is triggered, I think that says a lot. However, it is making a serious accusation against me directly that it has zero validity. And that I take seriously … I showed compassion for her in my publication. At this point, I think her answer says more about her than she does about me.”
The representatives of Brooke, Linda and Hulk Hogan did not respond immediately on Friday to the requests of comments of the Times.
