Brooke Hogan has revealed a shocking emotional reversal about her decision to remove herself from Hulk Hogan‘s will before his death. The 37-year-old told Page Six on April 17, 2026, that she deeply regrets the choice, not for financial reasons, but because it leaves her powerless over her late father’s legacy.
🔥 Quick Facts
- Removal Timeline: Brooke requested removal from the will in 2023, nearly 2 years before her father’s passing
- Estate Value: Hulk Hogan left approximately $5 million in assets to his son Nick, the sole beneficiary
- Real Reason for Regret: She cannot protect her father’s legacy or influence how his memory is preserved
- Original Motivation: Brooke removed herself for her own safety and sanity amid family conflict
A Stunning Reversal of Position
Just nine months after Hulk Hogan died from a heart attack at age 71 in July 2025, Brooke Hogan has dramatically shifted her public stance. When his will was revealed in September 2025, she told TMZ she had “no regrets” and stood by her decision. Now, speaking exclusively to Page Six while promoting her wine brand House of Stars, she confesses to profound emotional turmoil about the choice.
“The reason why I regret it, is because I do not have a place now to get answers,” Brooke revealed to the publication. She emphasized her role as her father’s protector and expressed frustration that estranged family members now control how his WWE legacy unfolds. The Grammy-nominated singer feels powerless to influence decisions about his public image and lasting memory.

The Control, Not the Cash
Brooke made crystal clear that her regret has nothing to do with the $5 million estate itself. She told reporters she would have gladly donated the inheritance to charity or shared it with her brother if it meant having a voice in his legacy. “It’s not about money. It’s about doing the right thing,” she stated firmly.
The timing of her frustration centers on her estrangement from Nick Hogan and other family members now controlling the estate. Brooke expressed that the people she “so badly wanted to get away from are now running the show,” creating what she called “even more of a nightmare.” She cannot make any decisions to defend her father’s reputation or ensure his legacy reflects his true character as she understood it.

A Family Fractured Beyond Repair
Brooke explained that she originally removed herself from the will to protect her own mental health and physical safety during a period of intense family conflict. However, she never anticipated that the very people she distrusted would inherit control of her father’s entire legacy. This unforeseen consequence now haunts her, leaving her without leverage to correct narratives or honor Hulk’s memory as she believes he deserves.
Adding insult to injury, Brooke revealed that when she asked her brother Nick for one of their father’s cherished crosses as a memento, she received instead “a pair of flip-flops and a couple of T-shirts he never wore.” She described this exchange as feeling “more like a slap in the face as each day goes by.” She is not on speaking terms with her brother or her mother, Linda Hogan, and has described herself as working to break family patterns.
What’s Next for Brooke Hogan?
Despite the family turmoil, Brooke is channeling her energy into multiple professional ventures. She recently launched her wine brand House of Stars, returned to music with a new album, and is starring in the HGTV show “Rock the Block” alongside entrepreneur Scott McGillivray. She also balances motherhood to her 1-year-old twins Oliver and Molly with husband Steven Oleksy, a former professional hockey player.
The singer and television personality told reporters she is working on becoming a “cycle breaker” in her family while holding herself and others accountable. Whether her public revelations about regretting her will removal might someday lead to reconciliation with her brother remains to be seen, but for now, Brooke remains focused on protecting Hulk Hogan’s memory from afar, without any legal standing to do so. Will she find peace with this painful reality?
