Brooke said rumors that she shut down her father’s attempts to reconcile their strained relationship are “pathetic”
Brooke Hogan is threatening legal action against her late father Hulk Hogan’s representatives.
During an appearance Wednesday afternoon on TMZ Live, the former reality television star and daughter of the late professional wrestler said she’s “done” with rumors about her and her father’s relationship and inferred she’s ready to file lawsuits against her father’s camp, who she claimed “continues to spew lies” about her.
“Whatever representative from that camp that continues to spew these lies, if they want to keep going, grab your best hold, grab your best lawyers because I’m ready to go,” Brooke, 37, told TMZ. “Because I’m done with it. I’m done, this is ridiculous. I know too much. I’ve been through too much, I’m not to be played with. I’m done, so it better stop.”
Brooke said she wanted to appear on TMZ to put the issue between her and her late father’s representatives “to rest.”
“This is ridiculous that it’s gone to this point of this war of words, and that’s why I’m here with you to put it to rest,” Brooke said. “My dad has finally been put to rest. Leave him alone, leave me alone and let the poor man go to heaven, and just end it. Stop coming after me. I’m not the one you want to come after.”

Brooke lamented doing the interview, saying she’s been “trying to live my life quietly and peacefully” but that in recent days she’s had to “constantly battle false claims” about her relationship with her late father.
On Tuesday, Brooke disputed reports surrounding her and her dad’s relationship, which became strained following the leak of a 2015 tape in which Hogan was heard criticizing his daughter and using racist slurs to describe her boyfriend at the time, who was Black.

Since Hogan’s death on July 24, Brooke told TMZ she’s specifically taken issue with reports that she shut down efforts from her father to reconcile their relationship before he died, that she skipped his 2023 wedding to his third wife Sky Daily and about why she skipped his funeral this week. The reports had been tied to sources close to Hogan’s inner circle.
“It’s making me mad,” Brooke told TMZ on Wednesday, calling the rumors “disgusting” and “pathetic.”

Earlier in the week, during a call-in appearance on a podcast hosted by her father’s former best friend Bubba the Love Sponge, Brooke said she last spoke to her father two years ago over the phone.
The former Hogan Knows Best star also said she made the decision to remove herself from her father’s will in order to avoid confrontation over his financial legacy with her mother Linda Hogan and Daily. Brooke repeated the claim during her interview with TMZ on Wednesday.
“I just know how my family is,” Brooke said. “And I’ve seen how certain members of my family go after money. And I see how they fight over money, and how they turn on each other over money. And I said, if and when my dad dies, this is going to be — pardon my French — a s— show. And I want no part of it.”
