Brooke Hogan Says Hulk Hogan Documentary Left Her Feeling ‘Literally Buried—Like, Oh, She Doesn’t Exist’

Brooke Hogan says the new Hulk Hogan Netflix documentary did more than leave out parts of her story. In her view, it erased her completely.

While speaking with Bubba the Love Sponge, Brooke opened up about how she was portrayed in the documentary and said her role in her father’s life and career was minimized to the point of being nonexistent.

"Literally buried—like, oh, she doesn’t exist."

That line set the tone for everything that followed, because Brooke made it clear this wasn’t just about screen time. She said the documentary hit a much deeper nerve because of what had already happened between her and her father behind the scenes.

Before she even watched the documentary, Brooke said she was still holding onto some kind of hope that there was meaning behind the decisions that had been made between them, especially after removing herself from Hulk Hogan’s will. She said she believed that decision would lead to honesty, trust, and an actual conversation between them.

"Before I watched this, there was some sort of… I guess, for lack of a better term, magic or hope or something that I held onto thinking, you know, I asked to be taken out of the will, and my dad did it."

"You know, I think I imagined that there would be some sort of why or, hey, you're the only person I trust. Like, let's talk about it."

Instead, Brooke said she had already been going back through old text messages and remembered trying to protect her father based on things he had personally told her about people around him. She said those messages included her repeating concerns he had already shared with her himself.

"But we had already talked about it. I mean, I was again looking through my text messages at things that I was talking about texting him, saying."

"And it's funny because in the text messages, I'm listing what he said to me about the people around him. And I'm like, you've told me this, this, this, and this. Dad, I'm only watching out for you."

Brooke said that instead of being heard, she felt cornered and then shut out. She said what followed made everything worse, because after all of that, she felt like she was erased with no hesitation.

"And when I was pigeonholed is what it felt like, and had to make this decision that I felt I had to at the time."

"It was so… I was so upset, and it was even more upsetting to see how quickly you could be erased and how much it was like, okay, cool, F you then."

Brooke also said things between them had turned into what felt like score-settling instead of real communication.

"And it was almost like a tit for tat thing. And even when we were talking, there were tit for tat things."

She said she even tried to urge her father to make better choices with the people around him and focus on doing things the right way during the final chapter of his life. According to Brooke, the response she got back cut deep.

"Like, I'd be like, dad, you know, in one of my texts, I said, dad, you know, Heather was a choice. Christiane was a choice. Like, you can make a new choice. Like, let's, let's try to take this last part of your life and really do it right. You know, like, let's really, I'm here. Like, me and Steve moved down here. Let's do it."

"And it was like, well, I haven't been proud of your choices either."

That led Brooke to fire back with one of the most personal parts of the interview, where she questioned what exactly she had done to deserve that kind of treatment.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't done any drugs and I haven't F'd your best friend. And I like, what did I do wrong? I dated and decided when a guy was not right for me, I did the right thing and left. Like, and ended up with a good guy. I, like, what did I do?"

She said it became even harder to watch people around the situation suddenly change and act differently, especially when she believed some of those views had been planted by others.

"You know, so, and then it's just like to watch, I said this before, I was like, to watch people switch up is just so crazy to me. Like, it's just so unbelievably mind boggling crazy to me because there are things that Nick has said to me that I said, Nick, that is not the right way to be thinking. Like, that's not like, that's what Linda put in your mind. That's not the right, you know, and it was a, it was just a very, there were just a ton of people with not good. It was like opportunists, I guess."

When Bubba told her he felt people with influence over the documentary had completely written her out, Brooke said that possibility made the emotional damage even worse.

"That was the case, I couldn't feel less like my father's daughter. Now, as sad as that is to say, I feel so not loved at all."

She then summed up what hurt most about the whole thing: that all of the time, loyalty, and effort she gave her father seemed to count for nothing. And in her eyes, other people benefited while she got pushed aside.

"I was just shocked that my loyalty, like, undying loyalty and commitment and hours and time and I never wanted anything back from it except my dad and his respect and his love and loyalty got me nowhere."

"And yes men got all the glory. It was really. It was really disheartening."

Brooke also said the documentary didn’t reflect the reality she lived, which is why she believes it missed the mark so badly.

"And I feel like it wasn't at all a glimpse into reality. It wasn't my reality, at least."

From there, she moved into specifics about what she believes was left out. Brooke said major controversies, affairs, and substance-related issues were skipped over, leaving out what she sees as critical parts of the real story.

"I mean, and just connecting the dots of why and how everything happened, I mean, we missed tons of affairs. We missed multiple different situations with substances."

She also brought up a personal betrayal involving Christiane, pushing back on the idea that this was just some random relationship and saying there was far more history there than people realize. Brooke said the relationship was real friendship, not some casual association.

"And the Christian thing, I just. I'm. I'm so sick of hearing, like, she was somebody I was dating. She was somebody. That was Brooke Chaperon. I'm like, no, I was buying this biatch lunches."

"And I was. She. She was my friend. To the point where her statement was like, I lost a friend. Yeah. Because I was her friend."

Another major issue for Brooke was the way the documentary treated her music career and the origins of the family’s reality show. She said that part of her life was watered down to the point of being almost meaningless, which she says is false.

"Like the onset of the show didn't happen the way it was portrayed. We didn't have a show to bring our family together. That was not. It was Lou Perlman saying, if Brook's going to do music to get a TV show."

Brooke said her own success in music and the special built around it were what actually got the family show off the ground.

"They didn't bring in that. It was the special Hulk Hogan stage dad circling around my dad being a stage dad and me doing music. That was the highest rated special that ended up getting the show."

When Bubba brought up other missing milestones, Brooke agreed that those omissions mattered too. Brooke also admitted she was scared to watch the documentary for another reason: she feared hearing her father talk about her estrangement or her children.

"And, you know, I was afraid to watch it for fear that they would ask him, how do you feel about your daughter not speaking to you? Or how do you feel that you're a grandpa. I was afraid to hear that answer."

She said part of her was even afraid he might say something kind, because that would reopen wounds she was trying to manage.

"I was afraid to see that my dad would say something nice about me and that I would feel less badly."

By the end of the conversation, Brooke made it clear that her anger wasn’t just about one documentary. In her eyes, it forced her to look at her whole life and family dynamic differently.

"I felt very much like I just was like I. I was. I have the. The level of betrayal. It feels like just as a whole, not by any person in particular, but just as. As a family, as a whole, as a piece, as a. As a life. The whole life feels like the. It just. I just feel like, wow, everybody was playing with a set of rules I never got."

Brooke Hogan’s comments turn the focus away from simple complaints about editing and into something much more personal. She is not just saying she got less screen time. She is saying the documentary reflected a bigger pattern in which she felt erased, pushed aside, and denied the love and recognition she believed she had earned.

If more people connected to Hulk Hogan’s life start speaking this openly, the conversation around the documentary could shift fast.
