WWE Superstar Nikki Bella recently talked with Yahoo Finance and opened up about body shaming. According to Bella,
“Being an identical twin, I’ve been compared my whole life. I’ve been the bigger twin. When I got on TV 10 years ago immediately everyone called me the fat twin.”
Bella found inspiration and hope early on from fellow Latina pop culture icon Jennifer Lopez,
“She literally changed my life. I remember her talking about her curves and being a Latina, and I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I go through that! I was going through puberty, and being like, ‘Why am I getting all these curves?’ She started to make me love it. I remember being confident at a very young age, like, ‘Yeah this is what I’ve got and it was literally J.Lo that gave that to me.”
Bella teams with fellow WWE Superstar Nia Jax for this weekend’s Curvy Con, a three day New York City based event for plus sized celebrities.
Bella’s Birdie Bee clothing line features plus sized clothing, something she’d like to see more of,
“I think every store should have a size for everyone. Every brand should have a size for everyone.”
