Brooke Hogan has clapped back at social media trolls who accused her of posting a thirst trap while grieving the loss of her father, Hulk Hogan. The former reality television star defended her recent beach Instagram photo, explaining the photo was taken at the beach where she felt closest to her late dad. Growing up in swimsuits, she insisted she was simply mourning in her own authentic way rather than seeking attention.
“Trust me, if I wanted to give you a thirst trap, you would have gotten one. If I were a surfer, a swim instructor, heavier, thinner… would it be less shocking? I grew up in swimsuits. … This is my home. This is me. This is one of many days I grieved my dad. Shame on anyone for demonizing it. I am a human. My father was human. And you people have the nerve to act like you’re experts on ANY topic or know anything about my experience with him? And you come at me with your ignorant opinions and nasty comments hiding behind your screens? Go back under your bridge, trolls.” – Brooke Hogan
38-year-old Brooke once shared an incredibly close daddy’s girl type relationship with Hulk Hogan. However, their relationship became strained over the years, leading to full estrangement around 2023. Still, despite private disputes, missing his third wedding, and even requesting to be removed from his will, Brooke has maintained that her love for her late father never fully disappeared.
