Brooke Hogan‘s husband is standing up for his better half — seemingly lashing out at Linda and Hulk Hogan despite not using either of their names.

Steven Oleksy — a former professional hockey player — took to social media Saturday to defend his wife from numerous attacks on her character … dropping a lengthy social media post in her defense.

It’s a long message … and, we highly recommend reading it all yourself — but, basically, Steven says he can no longer stand by while his wife faces vicious attacks from Linda.

While Steven only refers to Linda as “Jane Doe” it’s clear he’s referring to her when he says the claim that Brooke broke this individual’s collarbone is “laughable” … claiming Brooke has an occasional cocktail — but has never had a drinking problem.

Oleksy goes on to say claims they married without telling the family are unfair … because they didn’t have an option when “another party involved” said they “don’t do weddings or funerals anymore.” Though he doesn’t name this person, it appears he’s referring to Hulk — ’cause he goes on to say this person has had a wedding of their own since then. Hulk married Sky Daily in 2023.

In another story, Oleksy claims this same person claims they “don’t do concerts” and refused to attend a Stevie Nicks show with him and Brooke … but, was later spotted at multiple concerts anyway.

Oleksy shares several other stories … and touts Brooke pulling herself up by her bootstraps and making a career for herself despite her issues with her family. He also shows her a lot of love in a long supportive message — before sharing a picture of their kids.

ICYMI … Linda started this back-and-forth earlier this week when she referred to her family as a “mess” — claiming Brooke hasn’t spoken to her in years and is a “narcissist” just like her dad.

Brooke fired back by claiming her mother was verbally and physically abusive toward her … claims Linda denied. Linda has told us her “love is gone” for Brooke — and, she thinks her daughter is conflating normal parenting with abuse.

Denis Arndt — a veteran actor best known for interrogating Sharon Stone in the most iconic “Basic Instinct” scene — has died … according to reports.

The actor passed away earlier this week at his home in Ashland, Oregon, his family announced in an obituary posted online.

His death was reportedly unexpected … though the local Ashland News notes he suffered a stroke back in 2019 that he made a full recovery from. A cause of death was not disclosed.

Arndt’s last major role came on Broadway … where he starred in “Heisenberg” alongside Mary Louise Parker. He was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his work,  but lost to Kevin Kline for his role in “Present Laughter.”

Arndt was 86.

Mr. Beast is trying a new morning workout … lifting weights with Ashton Hall, the influencer who went viral for his crazy daily routine — and, it looks like the real beast in the gym ain’t the one with it in his name.

The YouTuber joined Hall to sample some of his insane morning routine … including dunking his head in a bowl of ice water with lemon wedges dropped in.

Mr. Beast and Hall then get into the nitty-gritty of the workout … lifting weights and running on side-by-side incline treadmills together.

The clip ends with the pair chucking up shots at a basketball hoop … with far less success than their workout earlier.

ICYMI … Ashton’s getting a lot of attention online right now for a video he posted earlier this week depicting his morning routine — which involves getting up at the crack of dawn, soaking his face in Saratoga ice water, journaling, hitting the gym and going for a swim and jumping into the pool.

Rather than admiration, it’s started a bunch of parodies online … and many are now thinking it might be a joke — or an ad for the water company that appears throughout the clip.
