Brooke Hogan Criticizes Associates After Hulk Hogan Home Sale

The sale of Hulk Hogan's longtime Florida residence has prompted an emotional response from his daughter, Brooke Hogan, who accused unnamed relatives and associates of benefiting from the wrestling star during his final years. In Instagram Stories posted Monday, Brooke reflected on losing the Clearwater Beach property and described what she said was a lack of support from people who appeared near the end of his life.

According to TMZ, the 5,400-square-foot beachfront mansion sold last week for $5.9 million after being listed for nearly $11 million in January. The neighboring guest cottage reportedly sold separately for $2.8 million.

Hulk Hogan, whose birth name was Terry Bollea, died at age 71 in July 2025 after suffering cardiac arrest at his Clearwater Beach home. His cause of death was later determined to be a heart attack.

Brooke described the emotional significance of the property and recalled family experiences there, including time spent with her father during his recovery from repeated medical procedures.

"The sick feeling is indescribable," Brooke wrote.

She shared memories of the house and the people who had been part of her father's life.

"This house was where dad and Jen envisioned growing old together," she wrote, referring to Jennifer McDaniel, Hulk's former wife, whom he married in 2010 and divorced in 2021.

Brooke continued recalling his medical recoveries and everyday routines.

"Where we brought him back to…surgery after surgery," Brooke wrote.

She also remembered spending time around the house and garage.

"Pool days. The smell of gasoline in his garage. His workouts downstairs."

Brooke described the family's shared activities and the time she spent with her father.

"We cooked, we watched Jerry springer, we played music, we cried," she wrote.

She recalled greeting him during visits and sitting beside him for extended periods.

"I walked in that garage every visit and hugged him right when he’d open the garage door. I’d sit next to him for hours in the chair he died in."

Brooke also expressed frustration over what she described as changing relationships around her father.

"His whole environment, his energy, his work, his relationships: First Jen — who no one but me treated with respect. Then I was gone…the truth teller… I’m sure to everyone’s delight."

She connected the property's sale with her concerns about people benefiting from his legacy.

"And now it’s all gone. Sold for profit. Just like him…used for f-----g everyone else’s gain.

Saddest ending I’ve ever seen. You know who TF you are," Brooke wrote.

In another post, Brooke shared a photograph of herself with Hulk near a dock outside the property.

"Let’s not forget who was there for the 15 years before the vultures swooped in conveniently."

Brooke posted additional family photographs and described how deeply she cared for her father.

She said she had "adored," loved and "cherished" him, and shared photographs of prescription bottles to illustrate how closely she monitored his treatment, writing that she "tracked every med."

Brooke credited McDaniel with helping care for Hulk during his health struggles, describing their responsibilities and medical routines.

"Jen and I were the nurse crew. Notebooks, records, prescription pickups, overnights, switching shifts," Brooke wrote.

She emphasized McDaniel's involvement in his care.

"This woman spent more time in the trenches than ANY of us did," Brooke wrote.

Brooke described the affection between her father and his former wife.

"He LOVED her dearly. And she loved him."

She added that McDaniel wanted to remain with Hulk despite difficulties she had witnessed.

Brooke said McDaniel "asked for nothing" after their separation, although she could have "fought for money." Instead, Brooke wrote, McDaniel "vanished" without starting a "smear campaign." She remembered her former stepmother as "hilarious," praised her as "pure love and grace," and described their separation as personally painful.

"Their breakup was devastating for me," Brooke wrote.

She explained that she valued McDaniel's role in her father's life.

"I loved her, but I knew my dad was in the best care with her too."

Brooke underscored the commitment she believed McDaniel had shown during Hulk's medical struggles.

"DEVOTION was an UNDERSTATEMENT," she wrote.

She also recalled accompanying him through multiple operations.

"We did surgery… after surgery… after surgery," Brooke wrote.

In another photograph, she highlighted McDaniel's presence in a hospital room and questioned the absence of other visitors.

"I'm taking the photo. You see anyone else there? Whole room… no one else?"

Brooke later posted an image from a July 2025 episode of WWE SmackDown, where wrestling figures and production staff gathered for a traditional 10-bell salute honoring Hulk after his death.

She disputed the idea that those attending public tributes had consistently supported him during his hospital stays.

"Not ONE of these people stayed longer than an hour in the hospital… if they even showed," Brooke wrote.

She said she had faced criticism for distancing herself from people she considered harmful to her father.

"I should have been there."

Brooke challenged claims that others had remained with him throughout his final period.

"Everyone else" was there "at the end."

She posted another photograph of the property with a pointed message about its sale.

"Enjoy your dirty money. You took my dad."

Brooke subsequently clarified that her criticism was not directed at WWE performers as a group, pushing back against media reports she said had mischaracterized her posts.

"Hey reporters: I don't have beef with the stars of WWE. Nor did I say that. Do your job right or don't do it at all," Brooke wrote.

She explained that her concerns focused on people attending public memorials despite, in her view, failing to provide private support during his illness.

Brooke criticized those who "show up to public tributes" without being present when she was "in the trenches with him."

She added that some attendees appeared more concerned with public visibility than personal support.

"But they'll show up to get their face on camera," Brooke wrote.

She said her criticism extended beyond acquaintances to relatives.

"friends' AND family."

Brooke also accused unnamed individuals of visiting Hulk only when he paid for their presence or rewarding people who pretended to be friends.

She criticized "only visited him if he payed [sic] for it" and "got a paycheck if they pretended they were his friend."

Her posts also targeted "the 'yes men' who were too afraid to protect him with truth" and "the ones who promised me they'd do the right thing when he died."

Brooke continued criticizing what she viewed as opportunistic behavior surrounding her father's death, writing, "Apparently EVERYONE will show up at the end if"
