– As seen above, ET recently caught up with Brooke Hogan to get her comments on her father Hulk Hogan’s racist comments that were made 8 years ago and recently revealed by The National Enquirer. Below are some quotes from the video:
“He’s my dad, I love him and the reason I’m standing by his side on this whole thing is because I know him, and it’s so easy for people to just — they need something to jump down people’s backs about. He’s an easy target.”
“I understand when people are writing me mean tweets and saying your dad’s this and [that] … [but] I wish I could talk to them and just say, ‘Have you ever been really mad at somebody and just said the worst about them?’ … It’s not that my dad thinks that, and that’s not how we were raised.”
“My dad’s best friends with Mr. T, he’s best friends with Dennis Rodman, he’s not racist. It’s just when you’re mad and you’re at the lowest point in your life …. you just choose ill-fitting words for that situation just to air your shorts out. He’s so nice to everybody. He doesn’t talk like that, which is what was so strange about it.”
“I feel bad for my dad, but I also feel bad for the African-American fans and stuff because they don’t know that he didn’t mean it. You know, it would be offensive. But this is something that we have to put a stop to everyday, because I’ll be honest with you, I’ve had a black guy call me a honkey, and I’ve also been told that white people smell like bologna. I don’t take offense to it, I just laughed at it.”
“He didn’t want to disappoint his fans. He doesn’t want anyone to think that of him because it’s not who he really is. And wrestling is his life, so being scrubbed from the WWE, it was really like turning the knife. And he understands, he takes responsibility for it. He’s like, ‘I messed up, like, this is the repercussions of what’s happening.'”
