Brooke Hogan Says She Requested Exclusion From Hulk Hogan's Will

Brooke Hogan has spoken out for the first time since it was revealed she was excluded from her father Hulk Hogan’s last will and testament, two months following his passing.

"His choice doesn't shock me at all,” the 37-year-old Brooke shared with TMZ on Thursday, September 11, regarding her deceased father’s decision to omit her as an heir. “It was my request, and I fully support it without any second thoughts.”

She further stated, “My father is aware that I am industrious and have managed to live independently of his wealth for a considerable period.”

Us Weekly has contacted Brooke’s representative seeking a statement.

Hulk passed away on July 24 at 71 years old due to a heart attack. Two months subsequently, Us confirmed that Nick Hogan, Brooke’s brother, submitted legal paperwork on Tuesday, September 9, indicating Brooke’s absence from the list of beneficiaries for their father’s $5 million fortune.

Within the filings, the 35-year-old Nick sought to be appointed as a joint personal representative for Hulk’s (whose legal name is Terry Bollea) estate, alongside an individual identified as Terry McCoy.

The submission disclosed that Hulk’s assets comprise $200,000 in digital currency, $799,000 in tangible personal assets, and intellectual property appraised at $4 million. The papers additionally mentioned an unspecified value for a possible medical negligence lawsuit.

TMZ had previously announced that Hulk’s surviving wife, Sky Daily, intended to pursue a malpractice suit concerning the operation he underwent just prior to his demise. (Hulk had been previously wed to Linda Hogan, the mother of Brooke and Nick, from 1983 until 2009. He subsequently married Jennifer McDaniel from 2010 to 2021, before tying the knot with Daily, 47, in 2023.)

According to Tuesday’s submission, Nick asserted that the departed WWE star first drafted his will in 2016. Hulk purportedly made revisions to it in 2017, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The conclusive revision saw Hulk’s removal of Brooke and her kin from the testament, as per documents acquired by Us.

“In no event shall Brooke E. Bollea or any offspring of Brooke E. Bollea be recognized as a beneficiary of my final will and testament, and any mention within this final will and testament of my children or direct descendants will not encompass Brooke E. Bollea and her offspring,” stated the legal document, dated July 28, 2023.

Hulk further stipulated that Brooke and her immediate family — she shares seven-month-old twins, Oliver and Molly, with her spouse Steven Oleksy — were not to act as executors of his estate.

Although Hulk’s testamentary revision might astonish some, Brooke clarified that she herself requested exclusion due to their tumultuous relationship. (The father and daughter were not on speaking terms when he died.)

Developments Regarding Hulk Hogan’s Family and Enduring Influence Following His Demise

“I simply understand my family’s dynamics,” Brooke conveyed to TMZ in an interview released on August 6. “I’ve observed how specific family members pursue financial gain. And I witness their disputes over finances. And how they betray one another because of money.”

She recollected, “And I stated, ‘Should my father pass away, this will become — if you’ll excuse my language — a complete mess.’ And I wish to have no involvement because I’ve already had to watch my father endure 15 years of legal conflicts. Testimonies. Our entire existence has been consumed by litigation.”

Brooke remarked, “My sole desire is to be by the ocean with my children and my husband, pursuing my own endeavors. Just leave me in peace. That’s truly all I ask for.”
