Hulk Hogan's Ex-Wife Linda Calls Daughter Brooke a Narcissist

11:55 AM PT -- The back-and-forth continues ... Brooke Hogan just clapped back at her mother Linda's earlier statement calling her a narcissist.

BH posted a detailed, if reluctant, response on IG, saying she never asked for any of this and was trying to avoid the whole thing, calling out "false claims" made by her mom.

Specifically she addresses Linda's timeline of their relationship, pointing out she has a photo -- which she also posted -- of her mother meeting Brooke's husband, which conflicts with Linda saying Brooke hasn't spoken to her in years ... and she claims Linda deleted something about having "never met my husband and she doesn't even know what his name is." Receipts are crucial.

Linda Hogan -- Hulk's ex-wife -- is denying claims she was ever physically or verbally abusive to her daughter, Brooke ... instead calling Brooke a "narcissist" who attacked her.

The mother-of-two fired back at Brooke's claims in a lengthy Facebook post from just a few hours ago ... claiming narcissism runs deep in the family -- and, both Brooke and Hulk suffer from it.

LH then admits she may have spanked Brooke on one occasion and called her a couple names ... but, claims she never treated her daughter as poorly as she claims -- adding Brooke had a cell phone and could've easily posted all about this alleged abuse back in the day if she wanted to.

Hogan says Brooke took Hulk's side in the divorce ... and, she feels this skewed her memory of her mother's treatment of her -- and, she challenges everyone out there to find someone who will back Brooke's claims.

In fact, Linda says, not only was Brooke never abused ... but Linda claims she was actually the victim of physical violence at Brooke's hand -- claiming Brooke got so drunk she broke Linda's collarbone and cut her lip. She adds this is just one of many stories.

Hogan finishes off her statement by saying she's done defending herself in the court of public opinion ... and, may actually end up in civil court if Brooke keeps making her claims.

As you know ... Linda called her family a mess earlier this week, claiming Brooke doesn't talk to anyone in the fam after a massive falling out with Hulk nearly a decade ago.

However, Brooke came out and countered the narrative that her mother did nothing wrong ... firing off that her mother was "EXTREMELY" verbally, mentally and physically abusive since her childhood.
