Brooke Hogan’s Husband Reveals Rift with Hulk Over ‘Mistruths’
URGENT UPDATE: Steve Olesky, husband of singer Brooke Hogan, has revealed shocking details about the “challenging” relationship between Brooke and her father, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, which resulted in a two-year estrangement. In an interview with People published today, Olesky disclosed that the rift stemmed from a “series of phone calls” filled with “mistruths” that intensified their familial divide.
Olesky emphasized that rumors blaming Hulk’s new wife, Sky Daily, for the fallout are unfounded. He stated, “My wife will say it — it had nothing to do with his new wife. It had to do with the way he treated her.” The tension escalated when Hulk, 70, infamously skipped Brooke’s wedding in January 2022, claiming he “doesn’t do weddings or funerals anymore.” Brooke, 37, reciprocated by missing Hulk’s wedding to Sky in September 2023, a decision that deepened the estrangement.
Olesky shared that he remained in contact with Brooke’s family in an attempt to navigate the strained dynamics. He noted that Brooke’s unwavering support for her father had taken a toll on her, especially following his controversial behavior over the years, including a past incident involving a racial slur. “It was a situation where she loved her dad very, very much,” Olesky reflected.
Throughout their two years apart, Olesky found that conversations with Hulk only reinforced his resolve to protect his wife and family. He stated, “Each and every conversation just led me further to protect my family and my wife at all costs.” Despite the challenges, he expressed gratitude for witnessing the love Brooke held for her family, acknowledging the heartache and public scrutiny she faced as a result of their strained relationship.
In a poignant note, Olesky revealed that Hulk had shown “no interest” in meeting his and Brooke’s twins, born in January 2023. Additionally, reports from TMZ indicated that Brooke had requested to be removed from her father’s will earlier this year due to a perceived lack of trust in those around him.
Olesky’s revelations come just over a week after Hulk’s passing at the age of 71. Sources close to the family indicated that despite their rift, the father-daughter duo shared a deep bond. “He was very proud of her, she was his little girl,” an insider stated, reflecting the complex emotions surrounding their relationship.
This developing story highlights the intricate and often painful nature of familial relationships, amplified by public scrutiny and personal struggles. As more details unfold, the impact of Hulk Hogan’s legacy on his family continues to resonate.
What happens next remains to be seen, but Olesky’s comments underscore the emotional challenges facing Brooke and her family in the wake of this loss. Stay tuned for further updates as this situation evolves.
