**Q: Why are Linda and Brooke Hogan feuding publicly?

Celebrity / Family Feuds
The long-standing tensions within the Hogan family have publicly erupted. Linda Hogan, ex-wife of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, recently shared emotional claims about her family situation, sparking a heated public exchange with her daughter, B...
### Background The Hogan family, consisting of Hulk (Terry Bollea), Linda, Brooke, and Nick, starred in the VH1 reality show 'Hogan Knows Best' from 2005-2007. Linda and Hulk's marriage ended in a contentious divorce finalized in 2009, following allegations of infidelity against Hulk, which he denied.
### The Recent Escalation The current public conflict began in late March 2025 when Linda Hogan posted an emotional video on Instagram. She expressed deep sadness over her family's state, particularly her estrangement from Brooke, who married hockey player Steven Oleksy in 2022 and welcomed twins in January 2025, events Linda claims she wasn't told about. Linda directly blamed Hulk Hogan for driving a wedge between her and Brooke.
Brooke Hogan responded via Instagram, stating her distance from both parents stems from alleged lifelong verbal and mental abuse. While not naming specific abusers for specific actions, her posts strongly suggested long-term mistreatment. She referenced being asked to publicly defend 'poor behavior,' likely nodding to her past defense of her father during his 2015 scandal involving racist remarks.
The situation intensified when Linda fired back on Facebook, calling Brooke a 'narcissist' and downplaying the abuse allegations while making her own serious claim about Brooke causing injury while drunk. Brooke then refuted Linda's specific accusation and pointed out that Linda's reaction to her vague initial post was telling.
This exchange underscores the fractured nature of the family dynamics, previously hinted at when Brooke skipped her father's wedding to Sky Daily in 2023, citing a need for distance for her own 'healing and happiness.'
