Brooke Hogan is lashing out at the “fake, greedy people” she claims profited from her late father Hulk Hogan as she mourns the sale of the wrestling legend’s Florida home.
Last week, Hulk’s 5,400-square-foot, beachfront mansion in Clearwater Beach sold for $5.9 million after it was originally listed for nearly $11 million in January, according to TMZ. The outlet also reported that the neighboring guest cottage sold separately for $2.8 million.
Hulk, who was born Terry Bollea, died at age 71 in July 2025 after suffering cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater Beach. The WWE icon’s cause of death was later determined to be a heart attack.
In a series of emotional posts shared to her Instagram Stories Monday, Brooke reflected on losing the home where she shared memories with her father while accusing unnamed friends and family members of exploiting him for their own gain.
The 38-year-old TV personality also took aim at what she described as “dirty money,” claiming some people only appeared “at the end” of her father’s life “to collect.”
“The sick feeling is indescribable,” Brooke wrote in one post alongside a photo of the house with a red and white SOLD sticker at the top.
“This house was where dad and Jen envisioned growing old together,” she added, referring to Hulk’s ex-wife Jennifer McDaniel, to whom he was married from 2010 to 2021.
“Where we brought him back to…surgery after surgery,” Brooke continued. “Pool days. The smell of gasoline in his garage. His workouts downstairs.”
“We cooked, we watched Jerry springer, we played music, we cried,” she recalled. “I walked in that garage every visit and hugged him right when he’d open the garage door. I’d sit next to him for hours in the chair he died in.”

“His whole environment, his energy, his work, his relationships: First Jen — who no one but me treated with respect. Then I was gone…the truth teller… I’m sure to everyone’s delight.”
“And now it’s all gone. Sold for profit. Just like him…used for f—–g everyone else’s gain. Saddest ending I’ve ever seen. You know who TF you are,” Brooke concluded.

In another post, Brooke uploaded an image in which she was seen posing with Hulk a dock outside the house, writing, “Let’s not forget who was there for the 15 years before the vultures swooped in conveniently.”
Brooke went on to share a series of photos documenting the years that she spent by her father’s side, writing that she “adored,” loved and “cherished” him. She also posted images of pill bottles that were labeled with Hulk’s name, noting that she “tracked every med.”
The “Brooke Knows Best” star also recalled how she and McDaniel helped care for Hulk during his health struggles.
“Jen and I were the nurse crew. Notebooks, records, prescription pickups, overnights, switching shifts,” Brooke wrote.
“This woman spent more time in the trenches than ANY of us did,” she continued. “He LOVED her dearly. And she loved him.”
“She wanted to be there till his last breath despite the trauma she endured that I witnessed..,” Brooke added.

Brooke claimed that McDaniel “asked for nothing” following her split from Hulk. She wrote that McDaniel could have “fought for money” but instead “vanished” without launching a “smear campaign.”
Describing McDaniel as “hilarious,” Brooke recalled the two having “girl days” together. She praised her former stepmother as “pure love and grace.”
“Their breakup was devastating for me,” Brooke wrote. “I loved her, but I knew my dad was in the best care with her too.”
“DEVOTION was an UNDERSTATEMENT,” she added.
Alongside photos of Hogan recovering from surgeries, Brooke recalled how she and McDaniel repeatedly accompanied him to the hospital.
“We did surgery… after surgery… after surgery,” she wrote.
In one photo, Brooke pointed out blood on McDaniel’s shirt and missing fingernails. She posted images of Hulk standing in the hospital room, writing, “I’m taking the photo. You see anyone else there? Whole room… no one else?”
Brooke then shared a photo that was taken during a July 2025 episode of “WWE SmackDown!” following Hulk’s death. In the photo, WWE stars, several wrestling legends and production crew were seen gathered onstage for the traditional 10-bell salute in memory of Hulk.
“Not ONE of these people stayed longer than an hour in the hospital… if they even showed,” Brooke wrote.
“And I’ve had to hear everyone say I’m the jerk for stepping away from the toxic behavior and brainwashing, fake, greedy people… ‘I should have been there.’ ‘Everyone else’ was there till the end. NO. They were there AT the end. To collect,” she wrote on a photo of herself with Hulk.
Brooke shared another image of the Hulk’s home, writing, “Enjoy your dirty money. You took my dad.”
However, Brooke later pushed back against reports that interpreted her posts as an attack on WWE stars, insisting that was not her intention.
“Hey reporters: I don’t have beef with the stars of WWE. Nor did I say that. Do your job right or don’t do it at all,” she wrote in a follow-up post on her Instagram Story.
Brooke explained that she was criticizing people who she said “show up to public tributes” despite not supporting her father privately when she was “in the trenches with him.”
“But they’ll show up to get their face on camera,” she wrote, adding, “That includes so called ‘friends’ AND family.”
In another post, Brooke elaborated on her accusations as she blasted unnamed people who she claimed “only visited him if he payed [sic] for it” and others who “got a paycheck if they pretended they were his friend.”
She also called out “the ‘yes men’ who were too afraid to protect him with truth” and “the ones who promised me they’d do the right thing when he died.”

“Apparently EVERYONE will show up at the end if you’re famous enough and they can profit off your demise,” Brooke concluded.
Brooke and Hulk were once extremely close and their father-daughter relationship was a major part of their reality series “Hogan Knows Best,” which ran from 2005 to 2007. However, their relationship became complicated over the years and Brooke was estranged from Hulk during the final two years of his life.
In July 2023, Hulk amended his will to exclude Brooke and her descendants, leaving her brother Nick as the sole beneficiary of his probate estate. The “Rocky III” star shared Brooke and Nick, 36, with his ex-wife Linda Hogan. Hulk was married to Sky Daily from 2023 until his death.

Brooke has maintained that her estrangement from Hulk was not due to a single falling-out. After Hulk died, Brooke said she ultimately stepped away following a series of “respectful disagreements” with her father that took an emotional toll on her.

Hulk never publicly addressed his estrangement from Brooke or his decision to formally remove her from his will. However, a source told Us Weekly in March 2025 that the wrestling icon had told people he did not know why his daughter had stopped speaking to him. Brooke later said she had asked to be removed from his will because she wanted no part of an anticipated battle over his fortune.
“I just know how my family is,” Brooke told TMZ in August 2025. “I’ve seen how certain members of my family go after money. And I see how they fight over money. And how they turn on each other over money.”
