Hulk Hogan’s Wife Slams False Claims After Private Funeral
UPDATE: Sky Daily, the wife of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, is speaking out against false narratives following the star’s private funeral held on July 25, 2023, in Clearwater, Florida. Hogan, who passed away at the age of 71 from a heart attack on July 24, has been the subject of misleading reports since his death.
Sky Daily, 46, took to Instagram on Wednesday to address what she termed “heartbreakingly misleading media stories.” She urged followers to recognize that these claims are not rooted in truth, stating, “Please be patient and know this: he was deeply loved, well cared for, and surrounded by that love until his very last moment.”
Her remarks follow a controversial appearance by Hogan’s daughter, Brooke Hogan, on the “Bubba the Love Sponge” show, where she discussed her father’s health and referenced Sky’s alleged connections with Scientology. Brooke revealed she distanced herself from her father’s will due to fears of the organization, indicating, “I don’t want to fight Scientology. I don’t want somebody that I love to get knocked off.”
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, had long been the target of health-related conspiracy theories, particularly in the weeks leading up to his death. Reports surfaced in mid-June that he was in the ICU. Both Sky and Hogan’s representative denied these claims. Hogan suffered a cardiac arrest at his Clearwater home and was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Sky confirmed that Hogan has not yet been cremated as the family seeks answers regarding his medical care. “Terry chose cremation knowing this physical life is temporary and his heavenly body eternal,” she posted. “He has not yet been cremated, as our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first.”
Reflecting on the funeral, Sky described it as “one of the most beautiful and moving days I have ever experienced.” She shared that the ceremony took place in the same church where they were married, surrounded by family and friends, all celebrating a life that touched millions.
Brooke opted not to attend the funeral, instead honoring her father in a private beach gathering with her husband, former NHL defenseman Steve Olesky, and their infant twins. “My father hated the morbidity of funerals,” she stated. “He didn’t want one.”
As the family navigates this challenging time, Sky’s call for patience and understanding underscores the emotional complexities surrounding Hogan’s passing. The wrestling icon’s legacy continues to resonate deeply with fans and loved ones alike.
Moving forward, many are watching how the family will address ongoing rumors and engage with the media. The community is also reflecting on Hogan’s significant impact on wrestling and pop culture, ensuring his memory endures.
