The daughter of American wrestler Hulk Hogan has jumped to her father's defence after he was dropped by WWE for making racist comments.
The 61-year-old has been in hot water after a 2008 audio recording of him using offensive racist language was leaked by the press in July.
The comments are said to have been made while Hogan was talking about a black man who was sleeping with his daughter Brooke at the time.
Despite Hogan's use of the racist language, Brooke has backed her father by telling Entertainment Tonight: "He's not racist. It's just when you're mad and you're at the lowest point in your life - you just choose ill-fitting words for that situation just to air your shorts out.
"I feel bad for my dad, but I also feel bad for the African-American fans and stuff because they don't know that he didn't mean it."
Hogan has apologised for the comments.
