Hulk Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, does not appear in Hulk Hogan: Real American.
Hulk and Brooke were estranged when he died in July 2025.
Brooke regrets asking to be removed from her father’s will.
Brooke Hogan is clearing up why she chose not to participate in Netflix’s new docuseries about her late father, Hulk Hogan.
Hulk Hogan: Real American includes interviews with Hogan’s ex-wife Linda, son Nick, and Hogan himself, who died in July 2025 at 71 years old. Brooke was not on speaking terms with the iconic wrestler when he passed, and she has a frayed relationship with the rest of her family, which she says is why she opted out of telling her dad’s story.
“No matter how much people have either dogged my dad or loved my dad, if he calls and says, ‘Hey, there’s an opportunity for you to be on TV,’ everybody’s tune changes real quick,” she explained to Page Six. “All of a sudden they’re on Team Hogan. I didn’t want to be in the company of people that I’ve seen switch up.”
The Hogan family first stepped into spotlight in the 2000s reality series Hogan Knows Best, and Brooke used it as a launching pad for her music career. But she later had a falling out with her father, going as far as asking to be removed from his will. When he died, she didn’t attend his funeral and raised questions about the circumstances of his death, which had been ruled a heart attack, even offering to pay for an autopsy.

Brooke now regrets being taken out of Hulk’s will because she has no control over carrying on her father’s legacy. Her brother Nick was left as the sole heir, and Hulk was married to his third wife, Sky Daily, at the time of his death.
“It’s not about money,” she insisted. “It’s about doing the right thing and making sure that [Hulk] is represented in the correct ways, and his legacy lives on in the most positive way. There’s things I would definitely be doing differently if I were back in that seat.”
She added, “I can’t do anything to help my dad after his death, or to find out answers, or to avenge him in any way, shape or form, because the people that I so badly wanted to get away from are now running the show, which is even more of a nightmare.”

No matter the estrangement and past difficulties, including a recording released in 2015 that featured Hulk using a racial slur in discussing Brooke’s dating life, Brooke insists that she always had her dad’s back.
“I think everybody very clearly understands that I was my dad’s protector,” she said, “and I loved him more than anything.”
