Brooke Hogan snapped back at her estranged mother for denying that the late wrestling star Hulk Hogan had an affair with a close friend.

“I genuinely hope she finds whatever help and healing she needs,” Brooke Hogan, 38, told Us Weekly about Linda Hogan, 67, on Sept. 25. “She’s my mom, and I love her. But loving someone doesn’t mean allowing them to keep bullying you, publicly rewriting history or provoking you and expecting you to stay silent.”

On Sept. 24, Brooke Hogan reflected on her dad allegedly sleeping with her friend, Christiane Plante, during an interview with Us Weekly. She told the outlet that her relationship with her dad then became “increasingly complicated” and hit a “major turning point.”

Linda Hogan, who was married to Hulk Hogan from 1983 to 2009, denied that her ex-husband had sex with Plante.

“I was there and no he didn’t,” Linda Hogan wrote on an E! News Instagram post about the alleged affair:

Brooke Hogan told Us Weekly that her mom should “quit while she’s behind.”

“Not because I’m looking for a fight — I’m not — but because I have no interest in arguing, and I also have no interest in continuing to absorb attacks quietly,” Brooke Hogan said. “The truth is documented.”

Brooke also pointed to her mom’s 2011 memoir, “Wrestling the Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes,” in which she discussed Hulk’s romance with Plante, as proof.

“When Brooke told me about [Hulk’s] affair with Christiane, it felt good to hear Brooke say that my suspicions were right all along,” Linda Hogan wrote. “She told me that she felt bad for me. Having Brooke understand my position gave me extra confirmation that I had made the right decision.”

Plante confirmed her tryst with Hulk in a 2008 interview with the National Enquirer. She told the tabloid that her ties to the WWE champion — who died on July 24, 2025, at 71 — began after Linda Hogan had already “left him.”

Brooke Hogan told Us Weekly that the family’s structure changed after her parents’ marriage ended.

“Over time, things became increasingly complicated until eventually the relationship I had always believed could survive anything couldn’t survive what was happening around us anymore,” she said. “That’s probably the biggest thing I wish people understood about the Hogan family: Public perception reduces families into heroes and villains.”
