Brooke Hogan, the daughter of late wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, has revealed why she chose to skip her father’s funeral service in Florida this week—citing their estrangement and his personal aversion to funerals.
In an emotional Instagram post, Brooke shared that she instead honored her father’s life privately at the beach—a place they both loved—alongside her husband, former NHL player Steve Olesky, and their infant twins.
“My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn’t want one,” Brooke wrote. “Although I know people grieve in many ways – and I’m so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him… 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.”
