The most recent episode of the soap explored Ridge lashing out at Hope and Carter for swindling Forrester Creations from him. Carter drafted up some legal documents and got Ridge to sign them inadvertently, transferring ownership of the company.
After finding out about this, Ridge blamed Carter for drafting the documents but also unleashed his anger upon Hope. He blamed her as the cause of the coup and for upending everything in the company's work environment. Given that Ridge ranted at Hope and embarrassed her publically, spoilers indicate that Brooke might now take a stand in favor of her daughter by breaking off her relationship with Ridge in the upcoming episodes.

What happened between Ridge and Hope that might cause a reaction from Brooke on The Bold and the Beautiful?
Brooke Logan and Ridge Forrester have been in a relationship for quite some time on The Bold and the Beautiful, sharing a love that has withstood many challenges. However, this might just be a difference that the couple is unable to see eye-to-eye on. In the episode on December 10, Ridge called Brooke's daughter a "nasty little b*tch" for her role in the coup against his company Forrester Creations.
After a heated meeting with Carter, Ridge stormed out into the hall with his daughter Steffy and found Brooke and Hope outside. Realizing that Hope had been banned from the building, Ridge's anger only mounted, and he hurled insults at Hope in front of Brooke.
Though Carter immediately jumped to Hope's defense, it is without question that Brooke must also be hurt by the way her partner treated her daughter. The soap already showed that, though Brooke was the one who warned Ridge about the coup, she did not agree with the reasons that her daughter was fired from Forrester Creations.
On the other hand, Ridge has been open about how he blames Hope for the whole situation. While Brooke blamed Steffy for firing Hope due to a misunderstanding, Ridge has staunchly stood by his daughter in this whole debacle.
Brooke and Ridge might have been able to overcome this challenge and reach an amicable solution if the coup had been negotiated wisely. However, now that both parties are offended and angry at the other, it seems that no solution is in sight. Indeed, Brooke might even be so hurt and angry at her daughter's mistreatment that she might choose to break up with Ridge over the disrespect.
Audiences can watch The Bold and the Beautiful streaming via Paramount+ and CBS. New episodes of the soap are released via the platforms on all weekdays.
