As a leading lady of The Bold and the Beautiful since its debut in 1987, Brooke has endured a great deal of relationship drama, including her past issues involving mistaken identification. Considering the character's long and troubled history on the TV series, her reaction when she learned that RJ's girlfriend Luna had cheated on him seemed somewhat consistent with her character.
Her strong emotional reaction was also influenced by her tendency to carry bitterness towards those who wronged her loved ones and her protective instinct as a mother. As she had gone through something similar years before, Brooke was in a position to relate to Luna's situation on a personal level.
Moreover, considering Brooke's confusing romantic relationships within the Forrester family, it was especially shocking to learn that Luna had an affair with his cousin Zende, rather than RJ, her son. The mix of Brooke's beliefs about family, her past, and the specific events linked to Luna's betrayal of RJ led to her hysterics.

Brooke reacts to Luna's betrayal after RJ spills the beans on The Bold and the Beautiful
The similarities between Luna's predicament and Brooke's previous controversy involving a case of mistaken identity precipitated her forceful response. Brooke thought Oliver, Hope's boyfriend, was Ridge, and they had a passionate encounter years ago. Since Brooke had gone through a similar horrific event in the past, she was able to relate to Luna on a deep level.
Brooke came to know about this in the main office when she asked RJ who Luna slept with, to which he replied it was Zende.
She gasped:
“Oh my God! Luna slept with Zende?!”
Additionally, the fact that Luna cheated on RJ with his cousin Zende was particularly shocking and upsetting to her.
Even though infidelity is frequent on the show, Brooke, who has had relationships with the brothers Ridge and Thorne, seemed to find the familial betrayal in this case especially significant. Along with being quick to stand up for Hope and other children, Brooke is renowned for being an extremely protective parent.
Therefore, in addition to the similarities to her life, what caused her to react so hysterically was her need to stand by and protect her son RJ from Luna's treachery.
A brief background and history of Brooke, Luna, and RJ on The Bold and the Beautiful
Brooke Logan has been on the show since the beginning, in 1987, and she's known for her drama-filled relationships and feuds, like her love triangle with Ridge Forrester and Taylor Hayes. Thanks to her romance with Ridge, Brooke became a mom to RJ Forrester.
Brooke, as RJ's mom, is quite protective of him and always has his back. Luna is RJ's girlfriend, who cheated on him with his cousin Zende. This messed up the situation on The Bold and the Beautiful, hurting RJ and setting Brooke off big time.
In the recent episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, a significant emphasis has been on the relationships and drama between Brooke, her son RJ, and RJ's girlfriend, Luna. Brooke's intense reaction to Luna's betrayal is rooted in her maternal instincts and her history of relationship ups and downs on the show.
The Bold and the Beautiful airs on CBS and fans can also watch the episodes on the CBS website.
