In an interview with ETOnline.com, Brooke Hogan defended the comments made by her father saying that she loves him and she knows who he is and that is why she is staying by his side during all the ongoing drama. Brooke said that the sex tape with Heather Clem was filmed at the lowest point in her father’s life and that is what drove him to say what is now out there, but reaffirmed that her father is not a racist and said that when you’re mad, you choose ill-fitting words.

Brooke added that her father did not want to disappoint his fans and that wrestling is his life and that being scrubbed from the WWE, it was really like turning the knife and that her father understands and takes responsibility for it, stating that this is the repercussions of what is happening.
