Is it absolutely WILD that people are actually criticizing how a woman grieves her estranged father? Because Brooke Hogan just said what we’re all thinking, and honey, the read is IMMACULATE.
The 38-year-old reality TV icon took to TikTok on Thursday like a woman absolutely DONE with the nonsense, declaring, ‘I can’t believe I have to make a post reminding human beings how to be human.’ Girl, PREACH. Brooke is receiving mountains of judgment over her boundaries with her late father, Hulk Hogan, and frankly, the audacity of these critics is giving absolutely nothing but toxic energy.
Let’s be crystal clear: Brooke and Hulk’s relationship was messier than a season finale of Real Housewives. The estrangement was REAL, the hurt was VALID, and yet somehow people thought they had the right to police her grief? The delusion! This isn’t about whether you were daddy’s little girl at the end—this is about respecting someone’s emotional journey while processing a complicated family dynamic.
The Hogan family has had more drama than a soap opera, complete with public feuds, reality TV meltdowns, and enough shade to block out the sun. So when Brooke set boundaries with her father—the audacity of prioritizing her mental health!—she was doing what ANY self-respecting person should do. But apparently, the internet collective decided that grief has a rulebook, and Brooke didn’t get the memo.
What really grinds our gears is the expectation that women should just swallow their pain and pretend everything was peachy-keen for the sake of appearances. WRONG. Brooke’s TikTok video is giving us main character energy—she’s refusing to perform the grief narrative that makes everyone else comfortable, and honestly? We’re here for it.
The comments section has been split into team Brooke and team ‘respect the dead,’ but let’s talk about respecting the LIVING for a second. Brooke’s mental health matters. Her boundaries matter. Her right to process this loss on her own terms? EVERYTHING.
Fans are rallying around the reality star, with many applauding her for setting the record straight and refusing to be gaslit about her own relationship. Others think she should’ve kept it private, but those people can frankly mind their business.
What do you think? A) Brooke is 100% right to defend her boundaries B) She should have kept her grief private
