Brualdi-Hoffman-Tur\\'{a}n type problem is to determine the maximum spectral radius of an $H$-free graph $G$ with give size $m$. The $F_k$ is the graph consisting of $k$ triangles that intersect in exactly one common vertex, which is known as the friendship graph. In this paper, we resolve a conjecture (the Brualdi-Hoffman-Tur\\'{a}n-type problem for $F_k$) of Li, Lu and Peng [Discrete Math. 346 (2023) 113680] by using the $k$-core technique presented in Li, Zhai and Shu [European J.
