Though Brooke felt “tremendous love” within her family, she also noted there was “dysfunction, fear, resentment, enormous betrayal, money, fame, image management and decades of unresolved hurt all existing underneath the same roof.”
“I can love my father profoundly and still tell the truth about where he hurt me,” she added. “I can acknowledge the wonderful things my family gave me while also acknowledging that eventually the dynamic became something I could no longer live inside. Both things can be true.”
While Hulk (real name Terry Bollea) never publicly addressed his fling with Plante, she previously told National Enquirer that their affair happened when the wrestler and Linda “privately knew their marriage was ending.”
Meanwhile, Linda’s publicist told E! News in 2008 that “when Linda discovered Hulk had [an affair] with Brooke’s best friend, Christiane Plante, she made the decision to call it quits on the marriage.”
Indeed, Brooke was estranged from her dad when he died from a heart attack at age 71.
