WWE Star Nikki Bella Would Hate Herself After Rape Incident

There’re a lot of stories to tell from the life of Nikki Bella which have been converted into a book, already. As reported last year, the elder Bella revealed in the pages of her autobiography that she was sexually assaulted twice while she was in high school. This used to be a secret that she held onto herself for a lot longer than she should have.

Since it was a painful secret that she was hiding from her family, it caused a lot of pain for Nikki Bella and eventually, she started throwing self-destructive behavior. During a conversation on the Bellas Podcast, the newly become mother opened up about being raped twice in high school. She wrapped up the secret as much as possible and she eventually started to hate herself and treat herself badly because of the painful experience.

WWE Legend Nikki Bella Admittedly Got “Smaller Fake B**bs” Done In 2022

“So many people hold onto that for so long and never say anything, like what we saw in the #MeToo movement. Even think of my story, you know I was raped twice in high school and I didn’t talk about it 20 years after the fact and I held onto it and I think if I would have talked then then different decisions I would have made after that, or I would have gotten help sooner,” Nikki Bella opened up on the issue.

“What I realized is that it makes you hate yourself and treat yourself in bad ways as far as, you know certain ways, eating habits or certain people turn to drugs or alcohol. Self-sabotage big time, and if you’re a woman it’s how you let a man treat you in a relationship, and I realize I kinda was doing that.

What happened to me is I went ‘maybe I don’t deserve better because I thought maybe it was my fault and if I would have talked to someone then maybe they would have given me the courage and the strength, but I started going down a path where I could tell that I wasn’t treating myself like well at all, inside and out, with respect.” (quotes courtesy Thirsty for News)
