Brooke Hogan is not holding back.
When he comes to her late father.
On Wednesday, the former reality star spoke to TMZ about her broke relationship with Hulk Hogan… who passed away from cardiac arrest on July 25.
Brooke told the celebrity gossip website that Hulk had confided awhile in her about “some issues” he was having with then-girlfriend/now-wife Sky Daily, who “was kinda like, pushing the marriage thing hard.”
The 37-year old claimed that her father was “feeling uneasy” and told his daughter, “If I broke up with her, it’d be bad.”
The Hogans, according to Brooke, had “respectful disagreements” over text, with her advising him to break up with Daily and Hulk allegedly telling her:
“Well, I haven’t approved of who you’ve dated.”
Brooke previously admitted that she hadn’t spoken to her father in two years at the time he died.
She didn’t attend his funeral, either.
Talking to TMZ, Brooke said she thought her parent’s his behavior was “childish” and “making me cry. There were hurtful things that he kind of said.”
At one point, “I was working on a house for him,” Brooke went on.
“One of the contractors witnessed an interaction between me and my dad. He texted me — the contractor texted me — and said, ‘Are you okay, kid? That hurt me watching what I saw.’ My dad had become a little bit callous in his old age, and that’s okay.”
Some folks out there will likely look down on Brooke for speaking poorly of the dead; for, perhaps, exploiting her dad’s death for attention.
Instead of attending the aforementioned funeral, Brooke opted to honor her dad by visiting the ocean with her kids.
“My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn’t want one,” Brooke wrote as a caption on Instagram this week, explaining her decision and adding:
“And although I know people grieve in many ways – and I’m so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how…privately…the way that made me feel the closest to him…
“Daddy, we honored you in the simplest way that agreed with my soul. We took our babies to the beach, and put them in the same salty waters you loved.
“Rest in heaven, Daddy.”
