After Linda Hogan’s emotional breakdown video on her Instagram story, Brooke Hogan issued a statement where she explained why she ended her relationship with Hulk Hogan and Linda. Brooke claimed that she was “EXTREMELY verbally, mentally & physically abused since childhood.”
After this, Linda posted the following on Facebook:
“Seems narcissism runs deep in this family. Brooke is a narcissist just like her dad .. going out .. spewing lies to everyone and I’m supposed to defend my truth against that. I’m not about to do that… it seems to me that she doesn’t want the truth being revealed to her new husband and his family about who she was and things in her past!
I think I spanked Brooke once yeah I called her a couple of names, by no means ever treated her the way she’s painting it. They had cell phones. She could’ve posted horrible things about me back when all of this was supposedly happening, but nothing she didn’t because nothing was happening, but when she took her dad‘s side after the divorce and wrote the wonderful Mom song, and went to all the tabloids because Terry was using her as a tool.. her memory is completely skewed about the treatment that she received growing up in our household, and you can talk to anyone. You can ask anybody you can ask Terry .. that none of the stuff ever happened.
It’s her angle to keep her family away from her now, revealing who she used to be after drinking a half a bottle of vodka. She was so drunk she broke my collarbone and cut my lip and insisted everyone take her to the hospital because she was poisoned and she wasn’t. She was just drunk… there’s many stories like that. I’m not gonna go on, but I’m not gonna defend myself against these ridiculous allegations. I’ll do that in court if she keeps it up.”
Brooke read Linda’s post and posted the following on Instagram:
“First of all, it appears my mother may not have actually read what I wrote. She absolutely did make false claims like she had ‘never met my husband and she doesn’t even know what his name is,’ then deleted it. She says she hasn’t spoken to me for a number of years, yet I have a picture with her and my husband together on a day we did lunch together.
I did not ask for this, nor did I even want to make a statement, but I also couldn’t let people continue to speak for me. My name is continuously brought up in the constant drama of my family.
My post did not directly accuse anyone of the behaviors mentioned. So if she’s triggered by something, I think that speaks volumes. She is however making a serious accusation against me directly that has zero validity. And THAT I take seriously.
I have plenty of people who know the truth, and I know the truth, so I am not afraid.
I showed compassion for her in my post. At this point, I think her response says more about her than it does about me.”
Brooke also posted the following photo (which she talked about above, of Linda meeting her husband):
Linda later posted:
“Don’t let anyone manipulate you into thinking ‘all you want to do is argue’ just because you’re expressing how they hurt you or how they make you feel. That’s a NARCISSIST. Get away from them, you’ll never win.”
