Brooke Hogan apologizes for saying Hulk abused her mother



Linda Hogan must either be totally mental or completely misunderstood. After filing for divorce from Hulk Hogan and letting him find out through the media, she took up with a 19-year-old bleached blond friend of her 17-year-old son. She then filed for a restraining order against Hulk, and called the police to have him arrested when he dropped their daughter Brooke off at her house… because he was technically closer than the restraining order allowed him to be. And then she got in her car and followed him. And that’s just a brief snippet from the crazy Linda Hogan file.

According to daughter Brooke, Linda manipulated her into signing an affidavit stating that Hulk had abused her mother. Brooke is publicly apologizing and recanting her confirmation of Linda’s allegations.

"I did it under significant pressure from my mother," Hogan, 20, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement. "It was only after I learned all the facts that I realized I made a big mistake in signing it." Hogan released the statement after a tabloid reported that she had signed a legal affidavit accusing her father, whose real name is Terry Bollea, of verbally and physically abusing wife Linda during their marriage.

Linda, 48, filed for divorce last November, and her attorney told PEOPLE it was going to be "war." Her attorney was not available for comment. A rep for Hulk Hogan declined to comment. In her statement to PEOPLE, Brooke admits to signing the affidavit. But, according to her rep, she later regretted the decision and asked that it not be filed in court. (At this point, according to Hulk's attorney, no such document has been filed.)

Brooke's rep says: "Brooke Bollea is distressed at the latest efforts by mother Linda to fracture the family. This time they let leak out an old document that Brooke signed filled with exaggerations and fabrications about father Terry's behavior during the marriage. The months-old document was signed by Brooke at a time when she was upset with her father."

Brooke and Linda haven’t been on speaking terms for about a month, and according to People she now lives with her father. Brooke says that her mother is using her kids as pawns in their divorce. Which might be true, but they’re both nearly adults – jailbird son Nick will turn 18 tomorrow. It’s hard having your parents divorce at any age, but when they’re old enough that parents can’t fight over custody, that has a few advantages for the kids. They can live with whoever they want or move out on their own and do their best to avoid the drama. Which sounds like the best plan in this case.
