Brooke Hogan spoke with TMZ about her two-year estrangement from her late father, Hulk Hogan, her decision not to attend his funeral, and the reasons she asked to be removed from his will. She described an inner circle of "shady" people who she felt created a "force field" around her father and are now spreading "false claims" about her.

Brooke explained that her estrangement was not a matter of a lack of love, but a necessary boundary she had to set due to the people her father surrounded himself with in his final years. She stated that her decision not to attend the recent funeral services was based on honoring her father's specific wishes. "My dad told me, specifically multiple times, just burn me up and put me in the back of the ocean behind my house," she said. "He didn't like the morbidity of funerals."

She also talked about the decision to have herself removed from her father's will, a move she says was to protect herself and her children from a potential legal war over his massive estate. She detailed her specific fears, stating, “I don’t want to fight Linda. I don’t want to fight Scientology. I don’t want somebody that I love to get knocked off. I don’t know how deep this stuff goes. It scared me. And I just said, ‘I want out.’” She believes false narratives are now being pushed by people who were financially dependent on her father. "Everybody else relied on him for a paycheck, and now that golden goose is gone," she said.

Brooke also addressed the lingering pain from her father's 2012 sex tape scandal, in which he used racial slurs, revealing, "I never got a direct apology for that. It was extremely embarrassing for me." She concluded the interview with a direct and emotional warning to the people she believes are spreading false stories about her. "Whatever representative from that camp continues to spew these lies, if they want to keep going, grab your best hold, grab your best lawyers, because I'm ready to go, because I'm done with it," she stated firmly. "My dad has finally been put to rest. Leave him alone. Leave me alone, and let the poor man go to heaven and just end it. Stop coming after me."
