Brooke Hogan has spoken publicly about her decision to skip the funeral of her father, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.

The former WWE star was laid to rest in a private service held in Clearwater, Florida, on Tuesday, Aug. 5, nearly two weeks after his passing from a heart attack on July 24 at the age of 71.

While several familiar names like Kid Rock, Triple H, and Stephanie McMahon were in attendance, Brooke was notably absent.

In a message posted to Instagram, she explained her choice not to attend. She had been estranged from her father for the past two years.

” 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.”
