Brooke Hogan now regrets signing an affidavit alleging that her father Hulk Hogan was physically and verbally abusive toward mother Linda Bollea. She told People that she was pressured to sign the documents by her mother. “I love my mother and hope to one day reconcile with her,” Brooke said. “But using kids as pawns in a divorce is awful. Every day my mother resorts to this kind of behavior makes it much harder for us to have a relationship again.”

Her parents are in the middle of a tawdry divorce, her brother is in jail and she’s cut off contact with her mom because of her mother’s teenage boyfriend.

It would seem that with all the drama engulfing Brooke Hogan these days, the last place she’d want to be is in front of the cameras.

But the statuesque starlet was eager to sign up for her own reality show, VH1’s “Brooke Knows Best.”

The Hogans had been depicted for four seasons on “Hogan Knows Best” (also on VH1) as Hulk Hogan’s loving, tight-knit clan. But over the last year, the super-star wrestler, whose real name is Terry Bollea, and his wife, Linda, have had an acrimonious split. Meanwhile their son Nick Bollea is serving an eight-month sentence after pleading no contest to causing a crash that seriously injured his friend.

Despite it all, Brooke, 19, has maintained the bubbly, wisecracking persona that she embodied on “Hogan Knows Best.” She talked recently about how she has been coping with the turmoil.

Q What made you want to do another reality show?

A The first four times we did the reality show, I didn’t have my stuff together with my music career. So this time, I’m like, all right, I have to start recording an album and using this TV show to my benefit, other than just letting these cameras come into my life to make ratings (laughs).

Q Do you think the Hogan reality show helped tear your family apart?

A I don’t think a camera and a cameraman can destroy a family. I mean, they’re not part of the family. But I think that it was the pressure of the cameras being there and the pressure of being on guard and not really being able to let your feelings fly, like if you are mad at somebody. Let’s just say my parents were fighting. They couldn’t just let it all out on national television. So I think it kind of suppressed it to the point where they almost let it explode. But I think that it would have come sooner or later.

Q How have you dealt with your brother not being around?

A It’s really hard because I feel like our whole lives I was able to protect him. Now I had to watch him walk away in handcuffs and I couldn’t do anything about it. He’s like my best friend. I mean, I have friends, but my brother is really the one person who I can confide in and talk to about anything. So it’s tough because everything that we talk about now is recorded. And we saw what happened with that.

Q How did you and your mother get so far apart?

AMy mother and I naturally have a tremendous bond. There’s like a bond that you just can’t break with us. But right now I’m just really disappointed with her and I feel like I wish I could talk to her, but you just can’t. It’s one of those kind of things where, I am a very straight-laced person and maybe that makes it even harder for me to see the path that she’s going. I look at her now and I’m like, “You were my hero. Why are you making these weird choices?” I don’t understand it. I definitely don’t condone what’s going on. I don’t think it’s cool who she’s dating. I think it’s ridiculous but at the end of the day she’s my mother and I will still respect her and love her. But right now I just have to love her from a distance.

Q Are you as disappointed in your dad?

AMy dad and I had a little bit of a tiff earlier this year and that kind of stuff I really don’t want to talk about now. I was disappointed for a minute. But what I respect about my dad is he comes forth and he tells the truth, and he’s an honorable person. I respect him a lot. He, I know deep down, has a good heart. Honesty with me goes such a long way that once the truth comes out and that person can be man enough to tell you the truth, it gives me a higher respect for them than before.

Q Will we get to see your romantic side in the new show?

A You’ll see a little bit of the romantic side. I went on a couple of dates. Some of them were disasters and some were great. You’ll just have to find out! I’m not going to tell you everything about it.

The Pinellas County Jail was overcrowded this weekend with mullets and peroxide blondes.

Hulk, Brooke and family friend Brian Knobbs visited the incarcerated Nick Hogan on the same day his mom Linda and girlfriend Ali stopped by.

Nothing keeps estranged families together like hard time.

Here’s what Hulk Hogan’s daughter said when asked about politics on her reality show Brooke Knows Best:

“You know what? I am actually not that much into voting. I think it’s kinda crazy that a woman is running because I think that women deal with a lot of emotions and menopause and PMS and stuff. Like, I’m so moody all the time, I know I couldn’t be able to run a country, ‘cause I’d be crying one day and yelling at people the next day, ya know?”

There are a lot of rumors going around about Brooke Hogan posing nude for Playboy in the near future. In Touch and Life & Style magazines are both reporting that Playboy has made the offer to Brooke, but there’s no word on whether she has accepted the offer or not.
