Brooke responded on Instagram Stories, telling fans she was not invited to take part in the official events. She shared a heartfelt tribute to her father on Instagram, describing the deep love and pride she feels for him and their unbreakable bond.
She firmly denied any suggestion of problems between them, saying she knew the real person behind the public image and that their relationship was closer than words.
While the wrestling community celebrates Hogan’s impact, Brooke honors her father intimately in her own way.
