Brooke Hogan has posted a lengthy, heartfelt poem on her Facebook page, defending her father, pro wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, from allegations he is a racist.
WWE reportedly learned of the remarks from a transcript of the video used in Hogan's ongoing lawsuit over the tape. Hogan has since apologized for the remarks.
"If you knew the dad I knew, you'd know his tender heart. He'd never want to hurt his fans,or family from the start. If you knew my father, you would know how hard he fought... and the way it brought a smile to people light, medium and dark," begins the poem Brooke Hogan posted online after the scandal broke.
"We always fight a battle that people never see, and sometimes when you're hurting, you don't think logically. Human isn't perfect, and perfect is not he, but I can tell you one thing, it's just not what it seems."
The father and daughter starred, along with other family members, in the reality series "Hogan Knows Best." The show ran on VH1 for four seasons, starting in 2005.Brooke then starred in "Brooke Knows Best," a reality series which aired two seasons on VH1 in 2008 and 2009.
