Linda Hogan recently claimed in a scathing rant that she hadn’t talked to her daughter Brooke in almost eight years because of her ex-husband Hulk Hogan. However, Brooke Hogan revealed that she stayed away from Linda because of years of abuse. Linda Hogan has now responded to what Brooke had to say, as she denied the allegations and made some accusations of her own.
Linda Hogan took to her Facebook and made it clear she is upset with her daughter Brooke. Linda Hogan accused Brooke of being a narcissist like her father, Hulk Hogan, and she denied mistreating Brooke, claiming that Brooke is making up stories to hide her past from her husband and his family.
Linda claims she only spanked Brooke once and never treated her badly. She also says that if Brooke had really suffered, she could have spoken about it earlier since she had a phone and access to social media. According to Linda, Brooke changed after the family’s divorce, took her father’s side, and started saying negative things about her mother in tabloids and in her song Dear Mom.
“Seems narcissism runs deep in this family. Brooke is a narcissist just like her dad ..going out .. spewing lies to everyone and I’m supposed to defend my truth against that. I’m not about to do that… it seems to me that she doesn’t want the truth being revealed to her new husband and his family about who she was and things in her past! I think I spanked Brooke once yeah I called her a couple couple of names, by no means ever treated her the way she’s painting it . They had cell phones. She could’ve posted horrible things about me back when all of this was supposedly happening, but nothing she didn’t because nothing was happening, but when she took her dad‘s side after the divorce and wrote the wonderful Mom song.”
Linda Hogan also claimed that Brooke’s decision to distance herself from the family was an attempt to avoid confronting her past actions. She alleged that Brooke had been involved in incidents of heavy drinking, including one where she was so intoxicated that she broke Linda’s collarbone and falsely believed she had been poisoned. She warned that if Brooke Hogan continues making accusations, she will take the matter to court.
“And went to all the tabloids because Terry was using her as a tool.. her memory is completely skewed about the treatment that she received growing up in our household, and you can talk to anyone. You can ask anybody you can ask Terry .. that none of the stuff ever happened. It’s her angle to keep her family away from her now , revealing who she used to be after drinking a half a bottle of vodka. She was so drunk she broke my collarbone and cut my lip and insisted everyone take her to the hospital because she was poisoned and she wasn’t. She was just drunk… there’s many stories like that. I’m not gonna go on, but I’m not gonna defend myself against these ridiculous allegations . I’ll do that in court if she keeps it up .”
In a separate post, Linda Hogan warned people about narcissists, saying they try to make others feel bad for speaking up. She advised staying away from them because they will never change.
“Don’t let anyone manipulate you into thinking “all you want to do is argue” just because you’re expressing how they hurt you or how they make you feel. That’s a NARCISSIST. Get away from them, you’ll never win.”
This comes after Missy Beefcake accused Linda Hogan of fraud and sabotaging a million-dollar deal, among other things. Regardless, with Linda Hogan now talking about taking legal action, it’s unclear how Brooke Hogan will react. Their family drama has brought the Hogan name back in an unexpected way, so we’ll have to see if the whole ordeal will be resolved in the end.
