There’s now even more legal drama surrounding the Hogan family. Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke has been named in a lawsuit for “cyber defamation,” which means slander conducted through the internet. The lawsuit alleges that Brooke Hogan went on Instagram and accused the plaintiff of being involved in dog fighting.
On Tuesday, South Florida law firm Sackrin & Tolchinsky issued a press release detailing their lawsuit against Brooke Hogan. According to the press release, the lawsuit is in reference to “social media posts Brooke published to her public Twitter and Instagram accounts in April, 2015, falsely accusing Alexis “Lexi” Williams of involvement in dog fighting.”

Here’s an excerpt from the press release:
Ms. Williams, a medical lab employee and veteran of the United States Army who has owned and loved animals all her life, has never met Brooke, yet as a result of Brooke’s malicious actions she has been continuously subjected to death threats, both in person and over the internet, as well as ridicule, humiliation, mental anguish, and a loss in her capacity to earn a living.
While the Complaint in this case was filed on September 11, 2015, service of process has not yet been perfected on Brooke due to Brooke’s intentional efforts to evade service.
“We attempted to arrange service in private with Brooke’s agent and manager. Brooke responded by deleting the posts in question, and hiding in Jack’s house when a process server came to the door,” said attorney Adam Sackrin, of the ongoing efforts to serve Brooke.
Ms. Williams is seeking compensatory damages and plans to ask for punitive damages.
Brooke has appeared on both WWE and TNA television alongside her father. Hulk is still involved in a huge legal case with Gawker over his sex tape.
