Nekesa Mumbi Moody of The Associated Press interviewed Brooke Hogan recently. Brook claims in the interview that the decision to do another reality show is to benefit her music career and that the throughout the first four shows, she didn’t have her stuff together. When asked if the reality show tore her family apart, Brook answered that she doesn’t think that a camera and a cameraman can destroy a family and that her parents were fighting. Here’s some other excerpts from the article:
Nakesa Mumbi asks Brooke Hogan how she has dealt with her brother not being around?
‘It’s really, really hard because I feel like our whole lives I was able to protect him … and now I had to watch him walk away in handcuffs and I couldn’t do anything about it. It’s hard because he’s like my best friend. I mean, I have friends, but my brother is really the one person who I can confide in and talk to about anything. So it’s tough because everything that we talk about now is recorded. And we saw what happened with that.’
How did she and her mother get so far apart?
‘My mother and I naturally have a tremendous bond, there’s like a bond that you just can’t break with us. … Right now, I’m just really disappointed with her and I feel like I wish I could talk to her, but you just can’t. It’s one of those kind of things where, I am a very straight-laced person and maybe that makes it even harder for me to see the path that she’s going down as being right, but I look at her now and I’m like, “You were my hero at one point. Why are you making these weird choices?” I don’t understand it. I definitely don’t condone what’s going on. I definitely don’t think it’s cool who she’s dating. I think it’s ridiculous, but at the end of the day she’s my mother and I will still respect her and love her but right now. … I just have to love her from a distance for now.’
Was she at one point as disappointed in her dad?
‘My dad and I had a little bit of a tiff earlier this year, and that kind of stuff I really don’t want to talk about now, but I was disappointed for a minute. But what I respect about my dad is he comes forth and he tells the truth, and he’s a very honorable person. I respect him a lot. He, I know deep down, has a good heart. Honesty with me goes such a long way that once the truth comes out and that person can be man enough to tell you the truth, it gives me an even higher respect for them than before.’
Is Brook Hogan dating anyone?
‘I was actually dating somebody that I’ve actually known since I was 15, and that was a great experience and I’m still really, really close to him and I still really love him, but we just recently kind of broke it off, so it didn’t seem right anymore. So as of right now, I’m single.’
