He became embroiled in a dispute with his father's widow, Tami, over the distribution of the elder Brooks' estate.
[1] Brooks appeared on an episode of the CBS reality TV show Undercover Boss featuring Hooters in February of 2010.
Brooks left Hooters after the sale of the company in 2011 and is now a franchisee of Twin Peaks, another "breastaurant" chain.
[3][4] Brooks also made a cameo alongside Twin Peaks CEO Randy DeWitt on another episode of Undercover Boss, going undercover as a "rude patron" to ensure employees were aware of the protocols of dealing with rude customers after encountering some that were unaware at earlier jobs.
He was ejected from the bar and would appear at the end of the episode to donate $15,000 to the bartender at that location.
