Hulk Hogan's estranged daughter Brooke slams WWE over tributes to her late father
Tributes to the WWE icon have flooded in over the past week following his death from cardiac arrest at the age of 71, with the wrestling organization honoring its former star before last Friday's SmackDown and Monday Night Raw.
While Hogan's devastated son, Nick, 35, joined WWE stars for the emotional tribute ahead of Monday's event, Brooke, 37, has been noticeably absent from both ceremonies.
However, while firing back at critics of her absence, the television personality claimed it was through no fault of her own.
'For those of you giving me c*** for not attending my Dad's tributes, @WWE did not extend an invite,' she wrote on her Instagram story Wednesday.
Brooke's attack on the WWE comes just one day after she revealed that she 'had to step away to protect my heart' in the final two years of her father's life.
Hulk welcomed Brooke as well as son Nick, 35, with ex-wife Linda - whom he was married to from 1983 to 2009.
He later tied the knot with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010 until their divorce in 2021. Two years later, the WWE legend said 'I do' to Sky Daily and the pair were married up until his death on Thursday.
Brooke and her father last spoke nearly two years ago in September 2023 only weeks before he married his third wife Sky.
On that call, Brooke expressed love and concern for her father - telling him that he shouldn't be working so hard due to his declining health. Despite her pleas for him to enjoy more of his life, those requests fell on deaf ears. The pair didn't speak again.

Jordon Hudson hits back at female reporter's savage dig at Bill Belichick and their controversial romance
Jordon Hudson has delivered a subtle clap back to a female reporter who made a savage dig over her romance with legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick. Belichick, 73, and Hudson, 24, have frequently been in the spotlight since their relationship was revealed last year and that was true once again on Friday night. At the Pro Football Hall of Fame Gold Jacket Dinner, reporter Mary Kay Cabot delivered a speech that poked fun at the relationship and swiftly went viral online. Cabot - who is longtime Browns reporter - made mention of the first ever head coach she covered, which just so happened to be Belichick. She detailed how Belichick would 'yell' at her if she wrote something he didn't like - before delivering a brutal one-liner aimed at the veteran NFL coach. She said: 'Now I totally understand why Bill gave me such a hard time. I was 28 [years old] at the time and he just couldn't relate to a woman that old.' Hudson clapped back as she reposted a Tweet which questioned Cabot's joke Many fans online saw the humor in the comment however the same could not be said for Hudson, who swiftly responded in the form of a repost on X. One account which shared Cabot's speech claimed that the reporter had got the 'last laugh' regarding her feud with Belichick. However, Cabot reposted a response to that, which read: 'Not much of a 'laugh.' No wonder so many have contempt for the media, especially those who want to be the story rather than report on the story'. The couple have been dating for over year, however, the spotlight around their relationship intensified after Belichick's disastrous CBS interview, when Hudson cut in to block a question about how they met. The legendary New England Patriots coach was asked about how he first met Hudson and looked visibly uncomfortable, before she called out from off-camera to say their relationship was not a talking point. It sparked a merciless explosion of scrutiny over their relationship and its near 50-year age gap. TMZ later reported that Hudson at one point stormed out of the CBS interview - delaying shooting for around 30 minutes. Another report said that Hudson actually interrupted the interview so much, CBS felt obliged to include footage of one intervention as it was a genuine reflection of their experience. The legendary NFL coach has endured an embarrassing start to life in college football, with Hudson repeatedly overshadowing him as he prepares to coach UNC. Cabot, meanwhile, is not the first person to take aim at Belichick and Hudson in a public space. Her brutal one-liner comes shortly after comedian Shane Gillis made fun of the pair's age-gap relationship as he began a joke about Shohei Ohtani. 'Shohei is a once in a generation talent. No one's been able to do what he's done at so many positions - pitcher, hitter, and bookie,' Gillis said, referring to his former interpreter's $17million betting scandal. He then set his sights firmly on Belichick and Hudson. He continued: 'Bookie' is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend before bedtime. 'They do the 'Very horny caterpillar,' 'The little engine that could but needed a pill first,' and of course, 'Good night boobs.' That's my favorite one. 'Not trashing Bill Belichick,' Gillis went on. 'He is 73 years old and dating a hot 24-year-old. People are criticizing him. What happened to this country? 'We used to be a great country. He won six Super Bowls. He is dating a hot 24-year-old. Maybe if you guys won six Super Bowls you wouldn't be sitting next to a fat ugly dog wife.'
