Hulk Hogan's estranged daughter Brooke asked to be removed from will

Brooke Hogan requested to be removed from estranged dad Hulk’s will, due to disagreements with those in the wrestling icon’s circle.

Insiders close to the 37-year-old “Hogan Knows Best” alum told TMZ Tuesday evening that she made the request in 2023, which was also the last time she spoke with her father, born Terry Gene Bollea, and just ahead of his wedding to third wife Sky Daily that September.

Despite the move, Brooke is still among the beneficiaries of Hulk’s life insurance trust, her portion of which she intends to put toward her infant twins’ college funds.

Also Tuesday, Brooke broke her silence on Hulk’s death last Thursday, amid their longstanding estrangement. He was 71.

“My dad’s blood runs (through) my veins. His eyes shine through my children. And our bond has never broken, not even in his final moments,” wrote Brooke. “We had a connection deeper than words, one that spanned lifetimes. I am so grateful I knew the real version of him. Not just the one the world viewed through a carefully curated lens. We shared a quiet, sacred bond, one that could be seen and felt by anyone who witnessed us together.”

Brooke also cleared up what led to their long-held period without contact, noting they “never had a ‘big fight,'” but “respectful disagreements that took an emotional toll” after she and husband Steven Oleksy moved to Florida to be near Hulk.

 

“He was getting older. I wanted to be there as much as possible. We had been (through) almost 25 surgeries together, and then all of a sudden he didn’t want me at surgeries. … I felt a disconnect,” recalled Brooke, who welcomed her own kids not too long after.

Unbeknownst to her, Oleksy kept in contact with Hulk “trying to find a safe way back in for me.

“I know in my heart I did everything I could,” continued Brooke, whose daughter reportedly shares her grandfather’s middle name. “He knows how deeply, how hard and how purely I loved him. I am at peace knowing this.”

The Hogan family feud made headlines earlier this year, particularly when Brooke’s mom Linda posted a tearful video about Brooke going no-contact and accused her daughter of abuse. Both Brooke and her husband denied this.
