Brooke Hogan, the daughter of late WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, revealed why she removed herself from her father's will in 2023 during an interview with her father's longtime friend Bubba the Love Sponge on Tuesday (August 5).

“I was now pregnant with twins and married, and my husband’s family is so kind and so sweet. And I have something to lose, money didn’t matter,” Brooke said. “I was sobbing, and I just said, ‘Take me off everything, I don’t want to be a part of it.’”

Brooke, 37, said she was concerned about getting into a potential financial battle with her mother, Linda, and Hulk's third wife, Sky Daily, prior to his death. The former Brooke Knows Best star said her mother "has been known to kind of find herself in the mix with things like that" and had heard that Daily was a Scientologist and had "powerful backing" within the organization.

“I’m like, ‘I don’t want to fight Linda, I don’t want to find Scientology, I don’t want somebody that I love to get knocked off, I don’t know how deep this stuff goes,’” Brooke said. “It scared me, and I just said, ‘I want out.’”

Brooke clarified that she had "no problem" with Daily, who she said was always nice to her, but hoped her father would have trusted her with his intellectual property and trademarks as she "would have done the right thing."

“I would have made him an Elvis [Presley] legacy, or a Marilyn Monroe legacy, or a Selena [Quintanilla-Perez] legacy,” she said. “And I hope that whoever has his marks does that. I just know that the people around him are pretty shady and not in his best interest.”

Brooke's husband, former professional hockey player Steven Olesky, said the "challenging" relationship between his wife and her late father broke down over a "series of phone calls" in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE published last Saturday (August 2). Olesky said "there were some things said, and a lot of mistruths," but also emphasized that the rift wasn't caused by Hulk's wife as rumors suggested.

“My wife will say it — it had nothing to do with his new wife,” Olesky said via PEOPLE. “It had to do with the way he treated her.”

Hulk skipped Brooke's 2022 wedding, with Olesky claiming he told him he “doesn’t do weddings or funerals anymore" before his own wedding to daily, one year later, which Brooke had also missed, leading to their estrangement. Olesky said he “remained in contact with members of her family to try to keep that door open and understand if I should protect my wife or try to mend the relationship.”

The former hockey player added that Brooke's support of her father had "really taken a toll on her," which included Hulk using the N-word multiple times while discussing his daughter's ex-boyfriend in a leaked sex tape audio recorded in 2012 that leaked in 2015.

“It was a situation where she loved her dad very, very much,” Olesky said.

WWE confirmed Hulk Hogan's death in tribute posts shared on its social media account following TMZ Sports' initial report on July 24.
