Nikki Bella just shut down a wild fan rumor—and she’s not holding anything back. The WWE Hall of Famer addressed speculation that she’s been hooking up with fans after her recent thirst-traps, and made it clear: that’s not what’s happening.
Speaking on the latest episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki Bella cleared the air after a fan accused her of sleeping with followers following a series of thirst-trap posts. After posting a Bella Army appreciation photo, Nikki revealed a fan left a comment claiming she’d hooked up with fans over the weekend, based on something she had said on a previous podcast episode.
“Someone put a comment under one of my Bella Army appreciation posts. They go, ‘I wonder how many fans she banged this weekend?’ Someone else goes, ‘Excuse me?’ Then they said, ‘Well, didn’t you hear one episode of what she hopes for?’”
Nikki didn’t hesitate to set the record straight. She said people are completely misinterpreting what she actually meant. Bella stated that she didn’t want to have any intention of sleeping around with random people and was fed up with people taking things the wrong way. In fact, she hasn’t even slept with anyone yet.
“They definitely misunderstood that episode of the Nikki & Brie Show. Because I said like, ‘I want something with someone and not just randoms.’ People take things how they wanna take them. Like geez Louise. By the way, I still haven’t.”
That’s right—despite the flirty photos, Nikki Bella was adamant about the fact that she hasn’t been with anyone, and she’s tired of people twisting her words and making up stories.
As for the thirst traps? Nikki said they’re about confidence, not hookups. She’s going through her life post-divorce and just being real about her need for validation in a world where dating isn’t her focus right now.
“I’m all about thirst traps lately. I love thirst traps now because I need attention at times, and that’s the only time I get attention since I don’t text with anyone or do any of that stuff, so that’s where it feeds me. So sometimes your girl needs to post a thirst trap to feel a little something. At least I can admit it!”
Nikki’s honesty about her single life is definitely relatable to many fans, but it’s also clearly created some over-the-top reactions. Still, she’s standing her ground—no games, no shame, no hookups, just Nikki being Nikki.
