Why Brooke Hogan skipped Hulk’s funeral after casting doubt on dad’s ‘weird’ death

Brooke Hogan chose to skip her estranged dad Hulk Hogan’s funeral to honor the late wrestler in the “simplest way.”

Hours after news surfaced that the WWE star’s loved ones gathered for his memorial service Tuesday, Brooke revealed she spent the day at the beach with husband Steven Oleksy and their 6-month-old twins, Oliver and Molly.

“My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn’t want one,” she claimed in a lengthy caption.

“And although I know people grieve in many ways — and I’m so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him,” she continued, “as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how…privately…the way that made me feel the closest to him.”

The 37-year-old noted that the “only thing missing” from her family’s beach outing was Hulk sitting in his pop-up lawn chair, “watching the waves … and the sunset.”

“Daddy, we honored you in the simplest way that agreed with my soul. We took our babies to the beach, and put them in the same salty waters you loved,” Brooke added.

She said her daughter, Molly, “loved the water” and would have earned the nickname “little fish” from Hulk.

“We love you and honor the things that made you so special,” Brooke, who has been estranged from Hulk for years, wrote.

She concluded, “Every grain of sand and every wave reminded me of being your beach baby, and brought us closer to you. I pray you are at peace and know how dearly I love you. Rest in heaven, Daddy❤️.”

Brooke, notably, also skipped WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” tribute last month, which she claimed she was not invited to.

Page Six obtained photos Tuesday of Hulk’s casket being carried into his memorial service at the Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Fla.

The late athlete’s loved ones appeared to be wearing yellow flowers, one of Hulk’s signature colors, to honor him.

Several notable figures showed up to pay their respects, including Bam Margera, Vince McMahon, Ric Flair, Dennis Rodman, Triple H and Kid Rock.

Hulk, born Terry Bollea, died on July 24 after going into cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Fla., home. He was 71.

Page Six exclusively revealed that the dad of two’s official cause of death was a heart attack and that he secretly battled leukemia before his death.

Following Hulk’s passing, Brooke clarified to her Instagram followers that her “sacred, quiet bond” with Hulk had “never been broken” despite him putting up a “force field … [she] couldn’t get through.”

The former reality star, who had herself removed from Hulk’s will, also sparked wild conspiracy theories by casting doubt on her dad’s cancer diagnosis.

“Being through all the surgeries, you have to do a blood panel before any major surgery,” she said on the “Bubba The Love Sponge” radio show on Tuesday. “How did nobody catch a high white blood count? That’s what bothers me the most. We don’t have cancer that runs in our family. It seems weird.”
