    Nikki Bella Discusses Revealing She Was Raped Twice As A Teenager
    WWE

    Nikki Bella has spoken about revealing she was raped twice as a teenager in the Bella twins’ new memoir titled ‘Incomparable’.

    She wrote that she was raped at ages 15 and 16, and further explained how that affected her confidence, self-respect and other mental effects it had.

    Speaking on Busted Open Radio, she discussed what it was like making the story public, and why she did it, saying:

    “It was hard to sleep [after the release] because I made a lot of headlines with stories that I had kept in for over 20 years. I was really nervous for it to come out. Even when we were writing it two and a half years ago, I was still unsure if I wanted to tell these stories of being raped because it had been so long and it was pain that I carried through and had to work on. You just don’t know how people are going to perceive it but I knew overall, if I could help younger women, it was worth it. But it’s still hard.”

    Her sister Brie added:

    “Nicole carried a lot of shame and guilt, which I think a lot of women do in these situations. That’s why she wanted to write it because I think a lot of women do, they blame themselves for thinking they put themselves in that situation, when it’s not their fault at all. I tried to tell her, ‘It was never you.'”
