Brooke Hogan Says She Regrets Taking Herself Out Of Dad Hulk Hogan's $5 Million Will

Brooke Hogan has opened up about what happened after she removed herself from Hulk Hogan's will. She said the biggest regret was not about money, but about no longer having any real place in decisions tied to his legacy.

On Friday night, April 17, Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant's famous match at WrestleMania III was honored with the Immortal Moment Award during the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2026 ceremony. The tribute put Hogan's name back in the spotlight once again as wrestling fans looked back on one of the most talked-about moments in WWE history.

The late wrestler was also mentioned during the event by longtime friend Dennis Rodman, 64, who was inducted as the 2026 Celebrity honoree. Rodman even wore a T-shirt featuring Hogan's image, which added another public reminder of the wrestler's lasting place in pop culture and professional wrestling.

The Hall of Fame tribute came nine months after Hogan, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea, died from a heart attack at his home in Florida. At the time, he had been recovering from an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion procedure.

Just hours before his WrestleMania match was formally honored in the Hall of Fame, Page Six published a report saying Hogan's daughter Brooke, now 37, regretted the decision she made in 2023 to take herself out of his will. That report brought fresh attention to the family's relationship and to choices made before his death.

After Brooke removed herself from the estate, her younger brother Nick Hogan, 35, was listed as the only beneficiary of Hulk Hogan's $5 million estate. His widow, Sky Daily, 47, was identified as the surviving spouse.

The Brooke Knows Best star told the publication that before her father died, she saw herself as his protector. She said she loved him deeply despite the strain and fallout that had developed between them over time.

Brooke also said that when she made the decision to cut herself off from the estate, she did it for her own peace of mind and for what she felt was her personal safety. In her telling, it was not a casual move, but a serious step taken because she felt she had reached a point where she needed distance.

At the same time, she now says the regret that followed has nothing to do with wanting a share of the money. Instead, it comes from feeling cut off from the process and no longer having any place where she could ask questions or get clarity.

"There were situations that had me so scared," the businesswoman said during an appearance on Dax Holt and Adam Glyn's Hollywood Raw podcast.

"I really took myself off the will because I was actually scared for myself, my family, my safety."

Speaking further to Page Six while promoting her wine brand, House of Stars, Brooke added: "The reason why I regret it is because I do not have a place now to get answers."

"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," she said.

During the Hollywood Raw podcast, the mother of two also said she hated the position she had put herself in because she no longer had what she described as a 'seat at the table'. For her, that meant being locked out of conversations, decisions, and any chance to understand more about what happened after her father's death.

Her comments landed just as public interest in Hogan's life was rising again. He is also the subject of a new four-part Netflix documentary, Hulk Hogan: Real American, which is set to arrive on the streaming platform on April 22.

The series has been described by Nick Hogan as 'the authority on the Hulk Hogan story'. It is also being promoted as an 'unfiltered' documentary meant to show the man behind the wrestling legend through what is described as his final interview.

Hulk Hogan: Real American is directed by Bryan Storkel. With Brooke now speaking publicly about her regrets and the documentary on the way, attention around Hogan's personal life, family dynamics, and legacy appears likely to continue.

Why Brooke says the regret is not about money

Brooke's explanation makes clear that her regret is tied to access and answers, not to the value of the estate itself. She says the hardest part is knowing she removed herself from a space where she might have learned more, asked more, or protected her father's interests in a way she once believed she had done in the past.

That distinction matters because it changes the meaning of her comments. Instead of sounding like a dispute over inheritance, her words point more to unfinished family issues, lingering fear, and the emotional cost of stepping away from something that later became impossible to reenter.

Seen that way, her regret seems tied less to the will as a legal document and more to what it represented. For Brooke, it appears to symbolize losing any voice in how her father's final chapter and public legacy are now being handled.
