Nikki Bella has been in the public eye for many years and she’s been featured on a number of different television shows including WWE programming.
During a recent episode of the Sirius XM’s Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki admitted that she struggles with body shaming after she sees herself on TV while noting that there are parts of herself she feels she can’t fix.
Nikki: “I body shame myself about my stomach, and all the moms are with me on this as well as you. It’s hard because I’m trying to fix parts that I don’t know will ever be fixed by exercise. They might, hopefully. I’m trying hard to get there, but it is just hard seeing yourself on TV after having a child when you know certain things like-”
Brie: “I’ll tell you this. Kate Winslet had one of the greatest interviews on aging that you need to watch.”
Nikki: “Well, this one, though, this part isn’t about aging, and look, I do, and then we could go into that because there’s parts of me about aging.”
Brie: “It is a big part.”
Nikki: “Well, no, because someone could have a baby in their young 30s and their body isn’t what it used to be before the baby.”
Brie: “No, that’s what I’m saying is like, we can’t try to keep up with what we looked like in our 20s, 30s.”
Nikki: “I get it, but I think I’m allowed to feel a certain way, you know, but it’s fine. Look, I have a healthy, amazing little boy, and that is all that matters. There are, just at times, I’m like-”
Brie: “All the women in the world right now are shaking their heads at you.”
Nikki: “Okay, whatever. But I’m allowed to feel that about myself if I want. But like you said, I have been a lot better, and I’m just working really hard at, you know, the parts that I just kind of want to fix, and I realize that some might not, but that’s okay. I still feel really great about myself, which is good. You know, I want to fix the under eyes a little bit, but that’ll be for another conversation. I was like, “Wait, so people are getting like fat out of their hip and putting it under their eyes?” You know what’s really kicking my ass more than anything? It’s the travel.”
