Brooke Hogan is clarifying her relationship with her late father Hulk Hogan’s third wife, Sky Daily.
Brooke, 37, released a statement on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Aug. 7, one day after Daily opened up about Hulk’s funeral service on Tuesday, Aug. 5, and shared more details about whether Hulk would be cremated — something that Brooke has called into question.
“Everyone stop trying to say Sky ‘shaded me,’ ” Brooke wrote. “I don’t feel like she did at all.”
“I thought her post was respectful and classy and I have said in EVERY interview that she was always nice to me,” she said. “Me and her don’t have beef as far as I know.”

“I was told he was cremated without an autopsy which of course freaked me out,” continued Brooke, who has pushed for an autopsy following her father’s death. “But he has not been cremated and she’s [Sky’s] doing the research.”
The mother of two elaborated on her current feelings regarding the loss of her WWE wrestling icon father, with whom she was estranged at the time of his death.
“I don’t think anyone thinks there’s foul play suspected but the man had a very complicated medical history,” Brooke wrote. “Hearing what was coming out was shocking to me, given that I’ve seen MULTIPLE near-perfect blood panels of my father’s and then all of a sudden everything’s different? Anyone would want answers. And she’s just doing that.”
Brooke concluded, “Stop twisting stuff, people.”

In Daily’s post on Wednesday, Aug. 6, she confirmed that Hulk — who was born Terrence Gene Bollea — had not yet been cremated.
“Terry chose cremation knowing this physical life is temporary and his heavenly body eternal,” Daily wrote. “He has not yet been cremated, as our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first. Once we have that peace of mind, we will honor his wish and fulfill it with love and respect.”
Earlier this week, Brooke called in to the Bubba the Love Sponge Show, where she shared that she is still is filling in the blanks as to what led to her estranged father’s death.
“I do think it’s weird that no autopsy was performed, because yes, you can have a heart attack but what was the reason for the heart attack is the question,” Brooke told the host about her father, who died in Clearwater, Fla. on July 24. “Because he was up and doing breathing exercises and stuff. That means that the surgery on his heart was a success and it was working.”

Hulk suffered from atrial fibrillation, a common disorder that causes irregular heart beats, and also had a history of leukemia at the time of his death, according to medical records obtained by PEOPLE.
Brooke said her father — with whom she hadn’t been in contact for the last two years — “had so many ablations and cardioversions” in the past, referring to the interventions done to treat his symptoms and to prolong his life.
“I remember back then praying, ‘Dear God, please don’t let this be the day my dad dies,’ ” she recalled. “But he got through all of it.”
