WWE’s Hulk Hogan was estranged from daughter Brooke in last months of his life and court documents has revealed bombshells about his will

Hulk Hogan, the WWE star who died in July, has left nothing to his estranged daughter Brooke, his will reveals.

In court files obtained by Us Weekly, lawyers for Hulk’s son Nick explained that Brooke was not listed as a beneficiary to his estate, which held just under $5million in assets. But this was her choice.

The will was revealed to have been amended four times. According to TMZ, Brooke has revealed that she was not in the will because she removed herself, fearing she would be caught up in a financial battle after her father’s death if she remained as a beneficiary. Brooke is reported to have requested to be removed from the will in 2023, which was the last time the will was altered.

The assets listed in the court documents included $799,000 in personal and intellectual property, $200,000 in cryptocurrency, and his right to publicity, which is estimated to be worth $4million. His real estate was not included in the documents filed.

Nick Hogan is the sole beneficiary of his father’s estate. Us Weekly floated the idea that the real estate left out of the court documents and valued at $11million may be controlled by a trust.

Hulk died aged 71 in July following a heart attack. His daughter Brooke revealed shortly after that she was not on good terms with her father at the time of his death, explaining that she “had to step away” in the final two years of his life.

Alongside all the assets Brooke could have inherited had she not removed herself from the will, there is reported to be an unknown value gained as a result of a potential medical malpractice lawsuit. This is being considering by Hogan’s widow, Melanie Sky Daily following a neck surgery she believes contributed to the former professional wrestler’s death.

Nick has filed court documents surrounding his father’s will and assets as part of an ongoing lawsuit to stop Todd Clem, who goes by Bubba The Love Sponge, from releasing a planned documentary about Hulk. Todd was a long-time friend of Hulk but his documentary is said to centre on a 2012 scandal where a sex tape of Hulk and Todd’s then wife, Heather Clem, was leaked.

Nick sued Todd over the documentary, claiming it violated an agreement made between Hulk and Todd in 2012. Ultimately, the judge found in favour of Todd, allowing him to publish the documentary if specific images from the tape were removed. Todd has always said he was not behind the tape’s leaking 13 years ago and that it was instead stolen by a former producer of his.

Brooke has confirmed that her father did not blame Todd for the leak. As quoted by TampaBay.com: “My dad told me all the way back in 2012 that he knew it wasn’t Bubba who leaked the tape.

“I remember asking him why they couldn’t be friends again after their settlement, but it was complicated. It makes me sad to think about it, but at least I can be here now.”

Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, Holly, looks like she could give fiancé, Adam Peaty, a run for his money in the abs department as she showed off her stunning physique in a bridal bikini

Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, Holly, made sure all eyes were on her when she posted her latest jaw-dropping snap on Instagram.

Standing in her garden, sporting a tiny white Miu Miu bikini top and a sheer sequinned skirt, Holly stuns, revealing her rock-hard abs – which any Olympian would be proud of. Sporting subtle make-up, she wore her long raven locks loose around her shoulders, while showing off her tan lines, pearlescent manicure and gorgeous engagement ring.

She captioned the snap with a series of wedding emojis and was quickly flooded with compliments from her excitable followers. One replied: “Obsessed with you!” “Excuse me with those abs,” said another. Meanwhile, a third gushed: “Absolutely beautiful!”

Holly got engaged to Adam last September when the swimmer got down on one knee on holiday in Dubai. The pair met when Holly’s younger sister, Tilly, was competing in Strictly Come Dancing, when Adam was also a contestant.

Alongside a series of loved-up snaps of the pair, larking about in the Middle East, Holly wrote: “I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now. I still remember how big my smile was the morning I got home from my first date with you.

“Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever. I love you and I cannot wait to be your wife.

“I promise to always be there with you and George, I’m so grateful [sic] to be in his life and I cannot wait for more. Everything is better with you. Everything has been better since you. Here’s to forever. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13.”

Meanwhile, Adam gushed that Holly was a “gentle, caring and beautiful woman” as he posted: “I can’t believe you’re going to be my wife. I’m truly the luckiest man on earth to have such a gentle, caring and beautiful woman by my side.

“You fill my heart to the brim and give my soul peace. You have been with me when I’ve been at my lowest and helped me understand myself to navigate my own darkness. You have also celebrated the highs which have been so many, as for the first time in my life, I’m happy with the man I’ve become.”

While blending in the makeup product with her hands, Victoria said: “I like to keep my skin looking like skin and see it through the foundation, I like flawless skin. I’ve been very open about how I’ve struggled with my skin, so I’m careful I don’t use anything that will irritate it.

“I’ve been so self-conscious with bad acne, so this formula is so good, and I have a lot of sun damage and it blurs that and filters that too.” If the £104 price tag of VB Beauty’s foundation is too steep, there are other skin-loving makeup formulas for less.

We love that Glossier’s £34 Stretch Fluid Foundation is made up of 89% skincare ingredients. Available to buy on Space NK, the formula contains hydrating squalane and glycerin, promising to deliver a nourishing base.

One reviewer said: “It’s a good coverage, not to heavy but enough to cover up blemishes and marks,” while another customer wrote: “This is a genuinely good foundation, and while it’s a bit pricey, the quality feels about right for the cost.” Elsewhere, Charlotte Tilbury’s Beautiful Skin Foundation (£39) features a blend of hyaluronic acid and “Rose Complex” to leave the complexion with a healthy, bright and youthful flow.

With the Victoria Beckham Beauty foundation being a new drop, there aren’t any reviews for it yet on the website. There has been praise for the brand underneath Victoria’s recent video clip, with one person saying: “Such a fan of these products, they are luxe and worth every penny.”

Hundreds of major actors and filmmakers have signed a pledge stating that they won’t work with Israeli film institutions “implicated in genocide and apartheid” against Palestinians

Ayo Edebiri, Olivia Coleman, Tilda Swinton, Joe Alwyn and Aimee Lou Wood are among hundreds of famous names who have signed a pledge against working with Israeli film groups.

On September 8, over 1300 filmmakers, including BAFTA, Emmy, Cannes and Venice Film award winners, launched a pledge against working with Israeli film institutions “implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.”

The pledge states: “As filmmakers, actors, film industry workers, and institutions, we recognize the power of cinema to shape perceptions. In this urgent moment of crisis, where many of our governments are enabling the carnage in Gaza, we must do everything we can to address complicity in that unrelenting horror.”

It commits its signatories not to screen films, appear at or otherwise work with Israeli film institutions that they consider complicit, which includes festivals, cinemas, broadcasters and production companies.

According to the pledge, examples of complicity include “whitewashing or justifying genocide and apartheid, and/or partnering with the government committing them.”

It comes as a response to calls from Palestinian filmmakers “who have urged the international film industry to refuse silence, racism, and dehumanization, as well as to ‘do everything humanly possible’ to end complicity in their oppression.”

In August, Variety reported that a group of almost 70 Palestinian filmmakers signed a letter in which they accused Hollywood of “dehumanising” Palestinians and called on their international colleagues in the film industry “to speak out against this genocide”.

The pledge was published by Film Workers for Palestine and claims to draw inspiration from Filmmakers United Against Apartheid, which was founded in 1987 to demand that the US film industry refuse to distribute films to apartheid South Africa.

Screenwriter and director David Farr, who was among the signatories, said: “As the descendant of Holocaust survivors, I am distressed and enraged by the actions of the Israeli state, which has for decades enforced an apartheid system on the Palestinian people whose land they have taken, and which is now perpetuating genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. In this context I cannot support my work being published or performed in Israel.”

This comes after the UK government has concluded that Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza, according to a government letter. This is despite Israel being widely accused of the crime, including by the world’s leading association of genocide scholars.

Reuters reports that over 64,000 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war, according to officials. As reported by Al Jazeera, more than 18,000 have been children.

Kristyan Benedict, Crisis Response Manager for Amnesty International, a global human rights organisation which concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza last year, has criticised the UK’s conclusion as “a cynical misrepresentation of what the International Court of Justice ruled in 2024”.

In 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that the claim of genocide in Gaza was “plausible” and acknowledged that “the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is at serious risk of deteriorating further before the Court renders its final judgment.”
