Brooke Hogan opened up about her family’s personal struggles today on “Good Morning America.”

-With her parents in the midst of a bitter, public divorce and her younger brother behind bars, Brooke Hogan has had an extremely difficult year. The singer found her family’s troubles strewn about nearly every tabloid and gossip site, yet still she has decided to allow cameras to once again follow her life during its most transitional phase.

“We kind of cover everything that’s gone down. We definitely are honest with the audience about what’s going on,” Hogan said on “Good Morning America,” discussing her new reality show “Brooke Knows Best.” “It is hard at times but, you know, I saw the camera crew and I was like, ‘I have to let you back in. You’re so cute.’” Brooke Hogan Gets Candid About Family Troubles

-NEW YORK—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,” debuting Sunday, despite—or perhaps because of—her family woes.

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 superstar wrestler, whose real name is Terry Bollea, and his wife, Linda, have had an acrimonious split, while their son Nick Bollea serves an eight-month sentence after pleading no contest to causing a crash that seriously injured his friend.

And if that wasn’t enough fodder for the tabloids, the romantic lives of Brooke’s parents (he has a new girlfriend, she’s dating a 19-year-old) have made them fixtures in the gossip pages and blogs.

Despite it all, Brooke, 19, has maintained the bubbly, wisecracking persona that she embodied on “Hogan Knows Best.” Dressed in a clingy red halter-top, long black gaucho pants and wearing her long blond hair in a ponytail, the striking Hogan (and budding pop star) talked about how she has been coping with the turmoil.
