Brooke Hogan Opens Up About Deep Regret Following Father Hulk’s Passing: ‘A Heartbreaking Experience

Brooke Hogan has expressed her disappointment over not being included in her late father Hulk Hogan’s will, not due to financial concerns, but because it excludes her from having a say in how his legacy is managed.

The “About Us” singer shared her thoughts with Page Six on Friday while promoting her new venture, a wine brand called House of Stars. She aimed to clarify misconceptions after her earlier remarks about Hulk’s will were “twisted.”

“Everyone knows I was fiercely protective of my dad and loved him deeply,” Brooke explained. “My regret stems from the fact that I now have no means to seek answers.”

Brooke, who has previously questioned the reported cause of her father’s death, noted her inability to influence decisions regarding the iconic wrestler’s legacy.

“I’m powerless to assist my dad posthumously, to seek out the truth, or to defend him in any capacity,” she lamented, pointing out that the very individuals she wished to distance from are now in charge, intensifying her distress.

Brooke, 37, explained that at the time, she decided to remove herself from the will for her own “sanity” and “safety.”

“I didn’t think after the fact this is who was going to be in control,” she said. “The people that I didn’t trust are now all controlling it, and it’s terrible.”

Last year, Brooke confirmed that she wasn’t surprised her dad wrote her out of his will, with Nick being listed as the sole beneficiary of Hulk’s estate and Hulk’s widow, Sky Daily, listed as a surviving spouse.

“His decision is no surprise to me,” she told TMZ at the time. “It’s what I asked for, I stand by it with no regrets.”

Brooke told Page Six that she regrets not taking the money and donating it all to charity or splitting it with her brother, with whom she is currently not on speaking terms.

“It’s not about money. It’s about doing the right thing and making sure that [Hulk] is represented in the correct ways, and his legacy lives on in the most positive way,” she said. “So, you know, there’s things I would definitely be doing differently if I were back in that seat.”

Brooke appeared on an episode of the “Hollywood Raw Podcast with Dax Holt and Adam Glyn” this week, in which she revealed her regret about being kept off the will.

“Something that is already getting twisted, which is annoying the absolute hell out of me, is that I said I regretted taking myself off the will. And to clarify, yeah, it’s not about money, and I’m so sick of people immediately becoming trolls and making it about that,” she told us.

Hulk — who died from a heart attack at age 71 in July 2025 — left behind nearly $5 million in assets.

While Brooke doesn’t care about her father’s fortune, she is asking for some meaningful family momentos.

“I asked for a couple things of my dad’s. I asked my brother if I could have one of his crosses he wore,” she told us. “And it was like, ‘Here’s a pair of flip-flops and a couple T-shirts he never wore,’ you know? So I had to go back and ask again.”

“It’s feeling more like a slap in the face as each day goes by,” she added.

Brooke — who has said she is not open to reconciling with her brother or mom, Linda, noted that she has experienced “a lot of bad” with her immediate and extended family.

“I’ve been tracing things back and, you know, having empathy for my mom and having empathy for my dad and their upbringings and, you know, trying to, at this point, be a cycle breaker and not participate in what doesn’t feel true to me,” she said.

Brooke added that she is holding herself accountable while also “expecting accountability from other people.”

Aside from working on herself and launching her wine brand, Brooke is also creating new music.

“I just got back with my label…We’ve got a whole album loaded and ready to rock, and we’ve been steadily releasing music,” she shared.

She’s also starring in a new HGTV show, “Rock The Block,” alongside Canadian entrepreneur, Scott McGillivray.

Brooke has her hands full, juggling her bustling entertainment career with being a mom to her 1-year-old twins, Oliver and Molly, whom she shares with husband Steven Oleksy.

“[Steve is] the best dad that ever existed,” Brooke gushed. “He runs circles around me…I am so
lucky.”

She described the hockey player as the most “loving, doting, wonderful husband.”

“I think being a father has brought out an even better side of him,” she said. “I call him Saint Steven because he just is an absolute savior. He changed my life. He’s just such a good guy.”
