Brooke Hogan cancels performance due to anxiety attack

Brooke Hogan

Brooke Hogan supposedly pulled out of a concert in New York this past weekend after suffering an anxiety attack. Of course no reason for the attack was given, other than the general suckiness that is the Hogan’s. To complicate matters, dad Hulk was supposed to host the radio station event, which also featured Sean Kingston, LMFAO and Kristine Elezaj. But he dropped out to be with Brooke. Which probably is a good thing to do as a parent, but leaving a big concert without a host and not bothering to explain isn’t a fabulous situation either.

Brooke Hogan generally comes across as pretty calm and collected as she cruises around in her VH1 show “Brooke Knows Best”, but beneath the surface she seems to be suffering some serious medical problems.

The 21-year-old reality starlet/songstress was scheduled to perform alongside Sean Kingston, LMFAO & rising pop princess Kristine Elezaj at PARTY 105’s MEGA JAM Concert in New York this past Saturday. However Pop Tarts has exclusively learned that Hogan pulled out at the last minute after suffering anxiety attacks, along with some other medical ailments.

We’re also told that her famous father Hulk Hogan (who was scheduled to host the whole concert) then withdrew in order to be by his daughter’s side, forcing organizers to proceed without a hosting replacement.

“Brooke is incredibly sensitive,” a source close to the starlet said. “She really cares about everyone around her and takes on a lot.” A rep for Brooke did not respond for comment.

The beach-loving blonde recently took a shot at a second studio album entitled “Redemption” and with it exposed a number of very personal emotions.

“All of the drama with my family and me and my mom and the separation between us and all that crazy stuff, I actually wrote about that,” Hogan recently told Tarts. “I actually have a song called ‘Dear Mom’ and it’s about the trials and tribulations with my mom, the battles with the press – and I’m in love, so I wrote about that and just everything that I’ve been through.”

So it seems like Pop Tarts is basically guessing that the cause of Brooke’s stress and anxiety is about her family issues, and not performance anxiety or something like that. They don’t give any specifics about the attacks or even vaguely hint at her other medical issues, but they have had several scoops about the Hogans that have proven accurate. I don’t think anyone’s all that impressed by Brooke singing or performance skills. It seems like she’s just trying to work the little bit of fame she’s got left. If there’s really so much stress in her life, why not back off a bit? I doubt she needs the money, and it’ll probably do her career more harm than good to book gigs she can’t actually do. And it’ll give the blogs a few less unsavory pictures to post. Here are a few!

    She chocked with embarrassment because she realized what a no talent fool she is. She just got it that her daddy was NOT going to be able to buy her that singing career she wanted.

  2. Firestarter says:

    Maybe she read all the hate directed towards her on Twitter after her comments about Beyonce. LOL!

  3. MeowBea says:

    I agree w/ you 100% Zoey
    & if I was a no talent like her I would panic too.

  4. Green Is Good says:

    Brooke didn’t get her daily steroid injections.

    How’s a not even remotely feminine looking dude like him/her/it supposed to *snicker* “sing” without performance enhancing drugs?

  5. Eileen Yover says:

    I’m sure all 4 of her fans in NY were sorely disappointed.

  6. Jaybone says:

    She’s a MAN, BAY-BEEE!!!

  7. Praise St. Angie! says:

    she was just worried that her tuck game wasn’t up to par.

    If his skirt was any shorter, we would be able to see if he’s circumsized.

    I’d have “anxiety” too if I had to go out & perform with no singing ability…

  10. Trillion says:

    It’s tough being a hack, you guys. Seriously. There’s a lot of anxiety and stuff. Like when you have to do something for real and the people with the head-sets don’t let you have do-overs. It’s really super hard!

  11. tamikla says:

    Her album has received HORRIBLE reviews. People Magazine gave it a 1/2 star, I’ve never seen that low of a rating. Rolling Stone slammed it too. It must pretty bad.

  12. Nicole says:

    I used to have 3 or more anxiety attacks a day when I was going to high school. They’re no laughing matter. There’s not always a reason behind it, but I’m guessing that unlike me, Brooke has not been diagnosed with panic disorder, depression or social phobia.

    I do feel a bit sorry for her though, cause she had to go through an anxiety attack, but c’mon, things could be worse for her. I’m actually on disability for the severity and frequency of my attacks.

  13. Firestarter says:

    Shouldn’t she have cancelled her performance due to lack of talent?

  14. Jenna says:

    I use to have panic attacks in high school thanks to having anxiety disorder so I can imagine what Brooke is going through… if she actually had one. Which I doubt she did.

    Maybe the rest of her family can have the attacks that way they won’t show up anywhere. Ever.

    Please?

  15. Neelyo says:

    Is ‘Panic Attack’ code speak for the track broke and Brooke can’t sing live?

  16. sassy says:

    I read this site frequently and enjoy it, even the comments. Never felt like posting before and I have no opinion at all about Brooke Hogan. I hope that she is not using panic attacks as an excuse for anything. I have had them and they are a big deal. It literally feels like you are having a heart attack. Most of the time, there is no obvious reason, except the chemical imbalance in your brain. If she is sincere, I hope people will be kind and let her heal. If she is not, I hope she will apologize to everyone who has had this medical issue.

  17. lway says:

    @ Sassy. Welcome 🙂 Brooke won’t apologize. She’s a Hogan. Her brother wrote off his friend and to date, shows no remorse for the fact that his once-best-friend is bedridden for life.

    Brooke’s mother dates a man ½ her age and thinks she’s sexy.

    These people have no tact. They won’t apologize because they have enough money to “buy” them out of any difficult situation that may come up.

    Brooke is a loser. As soon as she can deal with that – she’ll be okay

    “Maybe the rest of her family can have the attacks that way they won’t show up anywhere. Ever.”

    awesome.

    Panic attack AKA ‘can’t sing for sh*t’

  20. Thanks for the post! Deep breathing exercises are excellent for anxiety and many people report positive results from meditation. Some other natural anxiety remedies to look into are St.John’s Wort, SAMe, L-Theanine, and Tryptophan.

  21. James Kildare says:

    The anxiety and the depression are the most common in these moments of distress and uncertainty in the world, many cases for the current consequences where there is no work and the little that is gained does not reach to solve the economic problems and this carries to that the people resort to tablets as valium, diazepam, xanax, to remove in them his depression, we hope that they solve as promptly as possible this situation since findrxonline indicated in all the countries these medicines are most acquired and his sale grows rapidly.

  22. Edward says:

    Today, most anti-Depressants are used in combination with anti-anxiety medication. Anxiety does not often come on its own – it is usually the result of an underlying cause and, in most cases, depression. Anxiety can be a very disabling illness if not treated.

  23. Jacob says:

    Everyone must realize anxiety is a serious condition. Its not to be made fun of and can lead to depression and suicide. So lets all give brook a break hey?
