Hulk Hogan has been called out by his ex-wife Linda in a tearful video that takes multiple shots at the WWE Hall of Famer.
The former pro wrestler was married to Linda from 1983 until 2007. The couple had 2 children together, Nick and Brooke. While Linda continues to have a strong relationship with their son Nick, stating in the video that “He’s still such a good boy”, Brooke has distanced herself from the family and was not present at Hulk Hogan’s wedding to his current wife Sky.
The video, which was posted on her Facebook page, sees Linda say she is home by herself and address a number of topics in the emotional video, including her marriage to Hogan and family troubles. Stating that it has been 15 years since the divorce, Linda calls out Hogan as “a liar” and “a sex addict”, but claims that the Hall of Famer is still the hero:
“He’s a complete liar. He’s a sex addict. Yet he marches on, like, “Oh, I’m promoting my own beer, Real American Beer. Yeah, look at me. Yeah, he’s such a hero right? Not. I’m going to give him my thumbs down.”
“I’ve given him more opportunities to come back and make up the family. It’s been 20 years and I’m still this sad. Somebody please explain that.”
Linda also spoke about her estranged relationship with her daughter Brooke, who she has not seen in nearly 8 years:
“I’m okay with most things, but today, something hit. It’s been 15 or longer years since I left Hulk Hogan and my family is in the worst mess. Brooke doesn’t talk to us. She’s had twins. She got married, she didn’t tell us. She had a huge fight with Terry. I don’t know how that reflected onto me, but she cut me out too. I haven’t talked to her for seven years, almost eight years now.”

Brooke Hogan Responds To Video From Hulk Hogan’s Ex-Wife Linda
Following the video being posted, Linda and Hulk’s daughter Brooke took to Instagram to respond to some of the things that were brought up in the video.
In a lengthy address, Brooke first noted that she has made herself “intentionally smaller” in her career in music and TV to dodge the negativity that surrounds her family. Responding to the video, Brooke adds that she needed to address some things that were “the tip of a very large iceberg.”
Brooke also clarified that having no contact with her mother is not in relation to her father and vice versa before issuing statements concerning her past, including instances of abuse:
“I have been EXTREMELY verbally and mentally abused since childhood. Sadly, it would frequently turn physical. And sometimes it’s not by the person you would assume, abuse comes in all shapes and sizes. This vicious pattern has robbed me of any sense of self-esteem or confidence I’ve trained to pretend to have.”
Brooke also spoke about having to defend previous behaviour and how others have benefited off her suffering:
“I’ve been ASKED to defend poor behavior to the public and have done so out of love. Only to find I was misinformed, manipulated, and lied to. Still to this day I face constant ridicule for those poor decisions of others. I’ve watched others benefit financially off my suffering and embarrassment caused by their selfish behavior. While it caused my life to crumble, I continued to stay strong and resilient.”
Continuing, Brooke stated that “each individual, on their own, has given me more than enough reasons over the years” to end contact and wanting to focus on her own life with her husband and two children. Ending the statement, Brooke asked for the chance to focus on her own life “without injecting any more poison into it.”
Hulk Hogan has not been well-received by WWE fans in previous appearances. Along with being booed out of the building at the Raw on Netflix premiere at the start of the year, the Hall of Famer was also reportedly booed heavily when video packages played in arenas to promote the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event specials.
In 2015, Hogan was removed from the WWE Hall of Fame after audio footage emerged of him using a racial slur. Hogan was placed back into the Hall of Fame in 2018.
Elsewhere, Hulk Hogan has been caught in another lie, with his longstanding claim of missing out on being the face of what became the George Foreman Grill having been debunked.
