It’s been a big year for The Bella Twins as they were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, but recently the twins have been receiving some backlash on social media over some comments they made about Chyna on E! series Fashion Police back in 2013.
Footage from the show recently resurfaced online, and the clip shows The Bella Twins questioning whether Chyna is a man or a woman. Joan Rivers then goes on to agree and say that Chyna is “butch.”
Nikki Bella issued an apology on Twitter, and the apology reads as follows:
I want to sincerely apologize for a comment I made over 8 years ago on Fashion Police. I am sorry and embarrassed by my 29 year old self, who offended Chyna and in turn, hurt her family and others. I wish I could take it back. Please learn from me, it’s not worth hurting someone’s feelings for a meaningless laugh. Chyna will always be remembered as an icon and pioneer who helped create the opportunities for women in wrestling that exist today. Thank you Chyna!”
