Hulk Hogan Netflix Docuseries Criticized By Brooke Hogan

Brooke Hogan is speaking out about Netflix’s new series on her father, saying the project leaves out the reality of who Hulk Hogan was behind the spotlight.

A week after Hulk Hogan: Real American debuted, Brooke explained why she chose not to participate—and why she believes the final product doesn’t tell the full story. Appearing on Extra, she said the series “was a beautiful showcase piece” but ultimately “missing 98 percent of real life.”

“Why come out of hiding and talk about something that I’m just gonna get raked over the coals for anyway?” Brooke said. “It didn’t talk nearly about the underbelly of the beast.”

The four-part documentary includes Hogan’s final interview before his death in July 2025, along with appearances from his son Nick, ex-wife Linda, and widow Sky Daily.

Brooke appears only in archival footage, including home videos and clips from Hogan Knows Best. She said she watched the series expecting new revelations, but came away feeling there was little accountability.

“Nothing in the documentary was a surprise,” she said. “I actually watched it kind of scared thinking there would be a surprise for me—and there wasn’t.”

Brooke also addressed the personal dynamics that shaped her relationship with her father, saying that while she forgave him, certain issues remained unresolved. “He did really hurt me, and I never really got a genuine apology,” she said. “The forgiveness just came from my love for him.”

Her comments add another layer to ongoing conversations surrounding Hogan’s legacy, particularly after his final interview—featured in the same series—contained cryptic statements such as “I know where all the bodies are buried” and reflections on fame, controversy, and identity.

The renewed attention comes amid ongoing developments tied to Hogan’s life and estate. Since his death at 71 from a heart attack at his Clearwater, Florida home, his family has been navigating both legal and personal matters, including a potential medical malpractice investigation related to surgeries he underwent before his death.

At the same time, Hogan’s Clearwater Beach properties—including the waterfront mansion where he died and a neighboring cottage—have been listed for sale.

Brooke has also been increasingly vocal about her own position within the family. She previously said she regrets removing herself from her father’s will—not for financial reasons, but because it leaves her without a role in protecting his legacy or seeking answers about his final months.

“It’s not about money,” she said. “It’s about doing the right thing and making sure that he is represented in the correct ways.”
