Hulk Hogan seemed to take a jab at the painful family feud between his ex-wife Linda and daughter Brooke shortly before passing away at 71
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan appeared to have taken a swipe at his family's ongoing feud shortly before his death. The WWE star passed away at the age of 71, with reports indicating cardiac arrest as the cause.
‌
In the period leading up to his passing, Hulk was estranged from his family, with daughter Brooke Hogan reportedly cutting ties with both her parents. The emotional fallout was recently brought to light by his ex-wife Linda in an emotional video.
‌
In March, Linda posted a tearful video on her social media, where she spoke about the ongoing family rift. She said: "I'm okay with most things, but today, something hit. It's been 15 - or longer - years since I left Hulk Hogan and my family is in the worst mess.
‌
"Brooke doesn't talk to us. She's had twins. She got married, she didn't tell us... She had a huge fight with Terry. I don't know how that reflected onto me, but she cut me out too."
Despite the tension, Linda claimed that Hulk remained unfazed, stating: "I have to be honest about what I went through in my marriage with Terry as Hulk Hogan and what it entailed, and what it has caused over the years.."
‌
"He marches on, like, 'Oh, I'm promoting my own beer, real American beer. Yeah, look at me.' He's such a hero, right? Not. I've given him more opportunities to come back and makeup the family. It's been 20 years and I'm still this sad. Somebody please explain that."
Responding to her mother's emotional video, Brooke released a sharp statement, asserting that she has "completely separate reasons" for cutting off contact with both of her parents, the Mirror reports.
‌
"There was a recent video posted by my Mother that was concerning enough for people to send to me, that has made me feel the need to address the tip of a very large iceberg that is my immediate family," Brooke said at the time.
"What little I am addressing does not even scratch the surface of what l've dealt with my entire life. I will start by saying this video is mild compared to behaviour I have witnessed for the greater portion of my life. This also comes in addition to false claims that she's previously posted, then deleted," she continued.
"That being said, she has been through A LOT of trauma and pain, my heart breaks for her. You can't control how others treat you, but you can control how you treat others and cope with things."
‌
She continued: "I have completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents. This decision was made based purely on how they have each dealt with me directly my entire life."
Although Hulk did not directly address the statements from Linda or Brooke, he posted a video of himself and his new wife, Sky, eating popcorn and staring wide-eyed at the camera. Along with the caption: "Getting ready for the new HH TV show coming soon!"
However, some followers criticised the post amid the ongoing drama, calling it "poor taste," while another commented: "This is why no one likes Hogan. A real man would try and heal, not mock his family."
