Brooke Hogan Responds To Backlash Over Her Hulk Hogan Tribute Photo

Hulk Hogan's daughter, Brooke Hogan, is fed up with her critics.

The daughter of the late wrestling star posted an emotional tribute photo for her dad on her Instagram account. The Instagram post featured some beach content. That's the place her dad loved the most, she said. However, some found her beach photoshoot a bit inappropriate, given she was remembering her father. The photos quickly went viral online.

"Not the kind of photo I'd post to remember my dad," one wrote.

"Touching message but not the right photo," one added.

Brooke Hogan, though, is standing by her post. And, not only that, but she's firing back at the critics online, too.

Brooke Hogan responds to Hulk Hogan photo backlash

Brooke Hogan defended her photo choice.

"Would my post have been more sincere if THIS girl were at the beach mourning her dad?" she wrote on Instagram.

"I understand that not a lot of the world gets that. But this is my home. This is me. This is my one of many days I grieved my dad. Shame on anyone for demonizing it."

Hogan made it clear that she's standing by her photos.

"I am a human. My father was human," she noted. "And you people have the nerve to act like you're experts on ANY topic or know anything about my experience with him? Even my closest family has no clue what I know and have experienced."

"And you come at me with your ignorant opinions and nasty comments, hiding behind your screens? Go back under your bridge, trolls."
