Brooke Hogan Explains Will Removal Amid Scandal

Brooke Hogan, daughter of the late wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, voluntarily removed herself from his will in 2023, citing longstanding family tensions and distrust of people around her father as his health declined. Her husband, Steven Oleksy, stated that the fallout from Hulk Hogan's sex tape scandal—including racist remarks about Brooke's ex-partner—caused significant pain and influenced her decision. Brooke sought to avoid legal disputes over the estate and emphasized that the family estrangement resulted from years of disagreements rather than a single incident. Despite her exclusion from the main inheritance, Brooke will receive a small payout from a life insurance trust, which she plans to use for her twins' college funds. She noted that she made efforts to reconcile with her father, and her choice was motivated by self-preservation and a desire to avoid public drama. Details of the estate's other beneficiaries remain undisclosed.
