Brooke Hogan called into the Tuesday edition of the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show, revealing what contributed for her to be removed her father’s will.
Brooke said during the hour-long phone call that it was fear of Scientology.
Brooke told Bubba that her father’s third wife, Sky Daily is a former Scientologist and even though she (Daily) claims to have left Scientology, she is still in good standing and that it is a powerful group with a very powerful backing and she did not want to put her family at any risk. Brooke also added she also did not want to have a battle over her father’s estate with her estranged mother, Linda – Hogan’s first wife. Brooke further added there were people around her dad that were shady and did not have his best interest at heart.
“Money didn’t matter…I was like, ‘Take me off everything.’ And I was sobbing, I was sobbing when I wrote the text to Terry McCoy – the guy that manages his money. I was sobbing and I just said take me off everything, I just, I don’t want to be a part of it. Because I knew, in my mind, this is how the math was going to work out. If Sky is a Scientologist, which apparently she’s still in good standing but she says she left. It’s not for me to judge. She was always nice to me. I have no problem with Sky. But if she was a Scientologist, I know that that’s a very powerful backing…And then I thought, oh my God, if I get left any money or Nick gets left any money, no offense, but my mom has been known to kind of find herself in the mix with things like that. And I’m like, I don’t want to fight Linda. I don’t want to fight Scientology. I don’t want somebody that I love to get knocked off. I don’t know how deep this stuff goes. It scared me. And I just said I want out...And I hope that my dad – and it was never about money — I had hoped that my dad at least trusted me with his IP, like his intellectual property and his trademarks and stuff…because like I said, I would have done the right thing and upheld his – I would have made him an Elvis legacy, or a Marilyn Monroe legacy, or a Selena legacy. And I hope that whoever has his marks does that. I just know that the people around him are pretty shady and not in his best interest.”
Despite the request to be removed from her father’s will, Brooke is set to received some money from a small life insurance trust her dad set up. She plans to put invest the money towards her kids’ college funds.
In 2022, Brooke married to former NHL player Steven Oleksy. The couple welcomed twins this past January.
