The daughter of Hulk hoganis speaking out after being criticized for not attending his tribute shows... and her reason is a shocker.

The WWE paid tribute to Hulk, who died at age 71 on July 24, on two nights — first during Friday Night Smackdown a day after his death, and again on Monday Night RAW. The wrestling icon's son, Nick Hogan, was in attendance for Monday's show, but Brooke, 37, who has been estranged from her father for two years, was not.
