Brooke Hogan cited Linda's memoir to challenge her denial of Hulk Hogan's alleged affair.
Brooke quickly responded, telling her mother to "stop here." She noted, "I have no interest in arguing, and I also have no interest in continuing to absorb attacks quietly," before adding, "The truth is documented. I'd strongly suggest she quit while she's behind."
Brooke also shared a screenshot of a passage from Linda's 2011 memoir, Wrestling the Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes, on her Instagram Story. In it, her 67-year-old mom recounted learning about Hulk's illicit liaison.
"When Brooke told me about Terry's affair with Christiane, it felt good to hear Brooke say that my suspicions were right all along," Linda wrote, referring to Hulk by his real name, Terry Bollea.
"She told me she felt bad for me. Having Brooke understand my position gave me extra confirmation that I had made the right decision."
Brooke also posted that she had discussed the issue with her mom in the past.

"She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed," said the former assistant, who was close friends with Brooke at the time.
Linda and Hulk finalized their divorce in 2009 after 24 years of marriage and two children, daughter Brooke and son Nick Holgan, 36.

Despite forgiving Hulk, Brooke said their relationship changed after the alleged affair.
The Brooke Knows Best alum said she forgave her father – "I forgive people very easily – sometimes probably too easily."
But she also shares that "something between us changed afterward. I don't think he ever related to me in quite the same way again."
She wasn't speaking to her father when he died at age 71 on July 24, 2025, of cardiac arrest. He had never met her twins, who were 6 months old at the time, and she didn't attend his funeral.
