April 17, 2009, (Sawf News) - Brooke Hogan has defended her father Hulk Hogan’s rant in a Rolling Stone interview likening his frustration over the divorce with wife Linda Hogan to how OJ Simpson may have felt.
"I cannot believe how blown out of proportion one small part of a seven-page article has become," Brooke says. "It's a classic case of a quote being taken out of context. I look up to my father in every way. He has been through so much and has taken the high road through it all. The idea that he would condone the O.J. situation is just outrageous."
Brooke, an aspiring singer and TV artiste who featured in the 2005 reality TV series Hogan Knows Best, which focused on her family, has been at loggerheads with her father in the past. She once signed an affidavit that accused Hulk of abusing her mother Linda, but later apologized for signing it.
In the magazine interview Hulk had said:
"I could've turned everything into a crime scene, like O.J. (Simpson), cutting everybody's throat. You see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, sleeping in your bed, with your wife. I mean, I totally understand O.J."
Hulk’s wife lashed out at him in a statement through her rep Gary Smith:
"Hulk thinks he can do whatever he wants, to whomever he wants, whenever he wants. He is your classic narcissist who demands total control and will go to ANY extent necessary to get it. His violent and scary mood swings have been my nightmare for too many years. I hope for the sake of our kids that he gets the psychological help for himself and the safety of others."
In a statement to ET on Wednesday, Hulk’s rep clarified:
"Hulk in no way condones the O.J. situation. As part of a larger conversation, he referred to it to exemplify his frustration with his own situation."
