Brooke Hogan Apologizes For Abuse Allegations Against Father

Brooke Hogan has apologized to her father -- WWE star Hulk Hogan -- after claiming he abused her mother.

Brooke, 20, issued a statement and apology in response to recent tabloid reports claiming 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.

"I did it under significant pressure from my mother," Brooke says in the statement. "It was only after I learned all the facts that I realized I made a big mistake in signing it."

Linda Bollea, 48, filed for divorce from Hulk last November, and her attorney told the media it was going to be "war."

In the statement, 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. According to Hulk's attorney, the document is yet to be filed.

In the statement, issued to People magazine, 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 is now living with Hulk, 54, and not on speaking terms with her mother.

"I love my mother, and hope to one day reconcile with her," Brooke says. "But using kids as pawns in a divorce is awful. Every day my mother resorts to this kind of behavior makes it that much harder for us to ever have a relationship again."
