Brooke Hogan has hit back at critics who accused her of posting a 'thirst trap' while paying tribute to her late father, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan. The singer and reality television star responded after social media users focused heavily on a bikini photo included in an emotional Instagram slideshow dedicated to her dad. Brooke originally shared the tribute on May 20, reflecting on grief, childhood memories, and her complicated relationship with Hulk following his death in July at the age of 71.
While the post featured several photos and videos of the WWE legend through the years, many commenters zeroed in on the opening image, which showed Brooke at the beach in a bikini. Days later, Brooke addressed the backlash directly, insisting the image had been misunderstood and unfairly criticised. She described the moment as deeply personal and accused online trolls of turning something vulnerable into a target for ridicule during a painful period in her life.
