In a bombshell interview, Brooke Hogan and her husband Steven Oleksy have finally shattered the biggest myth surrounding her famously fractured relationship with her father, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea) — revealing that the estrangement had absolutely nothing to do with his third wife, Sky Daily.

What really triggered their fall-out? And why is Brooke making this explosive admission now, just days after her father’s sudden death?

Brace yourself — this revelation is more shocking than any wrestling storyline.

 “It Wasn’t Sky — It Was His Behavior”

For the past two years, social media and tabloids have fueled speculation that Brooke cut ties with her father because she disapproved of his marriage to Sky Daily in late 2023. But Steven Oleksy has come forward with a very different truth.

“Brooke’s decision to walk away had nothing to do with his new wife,” Oleksy clarified. “It was how he treated her—not because of Sky.”

According to Oleksy, their divorce began with a series of emotionally charged phone calls filled with “mistruths,” culminating in Hulk refusing to attend their June 2022 wedding and claiming he no longer “does weddings or funerals.” Brooke skipped both his third wedding and earlier events — not in protest of Sky, but to protect her emotional well‑being.

 The Grandkid Ghosting Scandal

Just when you thought it couldn’t get colder — Hulk never met Brooke’s newborn twins, born January 2025. Oleksy made persistent outreach attempts, yet Hulk showed “no interest,” even though Brooke and her family helped care for him during a series of health crises.

“I reached out a month and a half after they were born… but there was zero response,” Oleksy recounted.

He reportedly ignored contact from Brooke’s brother Nick as well. Meanwhile, Brooke requested removal from his will in 2023— not out of spite, but to “honor her dad’s best interests” and avoid future legal drama.

 Media Myth vs Reality

Over the years, tabloids painted a different narrative: that Brooke was bitter about Sky, jealous, or trying to sabotage her dad’s new chapter. But Oleksy’s account flips that script entirely, arguing Hulk himself spun the narrative to avoid accountability.

“He perpetuated the story that Brooke was against his new marriage — that’s completely false,” Oleksy said.

He emphasized Brooke’s deep love for her father — despite the hurtful way he treated her. She even moved to Florida to support him during his health issues — only to be kept at arm’s length.

 Grieving in Public, Private Healing

Since Hulk Hogan’s death on July 24, 2025, Brooke and Oleksy have chosen to grieve privately. Despite being estranged, Brooke posted an emotional tribute on July 29, calling Hogan her “biggest champion” and saying it felt like “part of my spirit left with him.”

She clarified that their estrangement wasn’t due to one dramatic fight — instead, a pattern of behavior and “mistruths” on his part that made reconciliation impossible.

Oleksy also issued a public warning about AI-generated videos claiming to show Brooke commenting on her father’s death — saying none of those came from them. “We are grieving privately,” he stressed.

 Why Now? Why the Reckoning?

With Hulk’s passing official on July 24 and his legacy being assessed by fans and media alike, Brooke and Oleksy chose this moment to finally set the record straight — before misconceptions redefine her father’s story.

This timing is no coincidence. After decades of drama—from Hulk’s leaked racist rant, sex tape scandal, and high-profile divorces—Brooke is taking control of her narrative. And it’s as cathartic as it is dramatic.

 What Happens Next?

Brooke’s Legacy Redefined: She’s no longer “just Hulk’s daughter.” She’s a pop singer turned interior designer, now a mother of twins, reclaiming her story for emotional health.
Public Perception Shift: Hulk’s death at 71 from cardiac arrest, coupled with disclosed leukemia and his emotional estrangements, paints a more complex, less legendary figure.
Brooke Focused on Healing: In private mourning, Brooke and Oleksy are focusing on family and their children — distancing from the public spectacle around Hulk’s legacy.

In the end, Brooke Hogan isn’t the villain of this story — and it wasn’t Sky Daily who ruptured their relationship. Instead, it was years of emotional distance, disappointment, and mistrust that drove a wedge between a father and daughter.

At 37, Brooke is redefining her identity — not as Hulk Hogan’s troubled child, but as a mother, creator, and survivor of emotional trauma. And now, after the wrestling icon is gone, she’s giving us the truth behind the headlines.
