Yesterday, a Brooke Hogan interview came out in OK! Magazine, in which the aspiring singer was saying that she couldn’t stand her mother’s new boyfriend presumably because he was pushing her into doing drugs. Today, Linda Hogan’s rep is telling Perez Hilton that this interview is nothing but irrefutable proof that Hulk is using his own children to tarnish her reputation in the media.

Although the media speculated that Brooke’s interview was more along the lines of “sell out your mother with a drug habit to promote a music career,” Linda is saying it was manipulation in its basest, most despicable form possible. According to her, Hulk is using their two children, Brooke in particular, by feeding them lies just to soil her reputation in the media. She, on the other hand, will not let him go through with this, and she’s planning to get an injunction against this type of actions in court.

“We have an OJ Simpson admirer whose only defense is again the lowest act possible by shamelessly manipulating and using the kids at any cost. Brooke pulled back last year, a sworn declaration she made against her father’s drug use and domestic violence against wife Linda, only to say that she lied because she was mad at her dad. Brooke only knows what her father tells her and he is using her like he has used people his whole life. Hulk has no regard for the truth as Linda’s attorneys will be in Florida divorce court this week asking for sanctions on the untruths and deception in Hulks [sic] sworn testimony.” Linda’s rep, Gary Smith, tells Perez.

In a separate statement issued to the same celebrity blogger, Linda too blasts Hulk and his immoral ways of fighting the divorce battle. “I love my baby girl more than anything in this world. I understand why she says this nonsense and look forward to spending quality time one on one with her.” the soon to be former Mrs. Hogan says in response to her daughter’s most recent interview.

As we were telling you yesterday, Brooke lashed out against her own mother in an interview with OK! Magazine, saying she did not approve of her relationship with a 19-year-old man not because of the age gap but because of the unhealthy ways they would come up to party, hinting at heavy drug use.
