WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella breaks silence on awkward moment as fan holds her from behind for photo: 'When I saw it…'

WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, part of the famous tag team the Bella Twins, opened up about a viral image with a fan that got the internet talking. Fan meet-and-greets are common in WWE, but what stood out here was the unusual and awkward pose requested by a fan named Brian Lema. Lema held Bella from behind and shared the picture on his Instagram. While it was done with the full consent of the WWE superstar, the outcome was rather uncomfortable to the eye. Nikki Bella, with a fan, Brian Lema(Brian Lema/Instagram) Addressing the controversial picture, Bella clarified she saw nothing inappropriate but took a firm stance that the 'prom pose' will be banned in future interactions. "Well, I do feel like from now on, there's going to have to be a no prom pose rule. After this photo, but I will say he had an incredible story. He asked very politely about doing a prom photo. I've done it a bunch. You guys, I didn't feel anything. It wasn't like, it never felt inappropriate. It didn't feel like what the photo looks like," she said on her podcast. "I think that was his posture, but maybe I think I feel like it was his posture, and those pants of mine were kind of baggy. They kind of stuck out, so you know how sometimes photos get distorted? I honestly feel like that's what happened. Because I would be honest and I would literally go straight to my rep like, 'Hey, that was really inappropriate. I felt stuff.'" 'It didn't feel inappropriate' This isn't the first time a prom pose picture has roughed the internet up the wrong way. In 2019, during the lead-up to WrestleMania 35, another WWE athlete, Becky Lynch, aka Rebecca Quinn, found herself in a similar social media storm when a fan held her from behind for the exact post. As for Nikki, real name Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, her decision to agree to the pose stemmed from her admiration for the fan, who followed their entire careers, and called the Bella Twins an inspiration. "I didn't have that at all, and he was actually, I mean, unless I'm getting played, but he had a very, very sweet story. He has watched us, Brie, from day one. He was very sweet, so I won't even comment on it. I know because I saw the page where it had like, I think, what? Like a thousand comments and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm not even going to get involved in this." "But I will admit when I saw the photo, I had to go back and be like, 'Did I ever feel like I was treated inappropriately? Did I feel anything?' But I would have spoken up, and so that photo is more kind of distorted than it actually was, and that can kind of happen. And I feel like now, after that, lesson learned because I do prom photos a lot with people. I'm just, now that's going to be a no. It's going to be a no."

Richa Chadha says her rebel, angry woman personality tamed after daughter's birth: ‘Motherhood softened me'

Bollywood actor Richa Chadha stepped into a new chapter of her life in July last year when she embraced motherhood and welcomed her baby girl into the world. Speaking in a recent interview with Screen, Richa opened up about how the life-changing experience has transformed her personality. Richa Chadha reveals how motherhood forced her to grow up.(Instagram) Richa Chadha on how motherhood changed her Richa talked about how her personality traits have often caused her trouble, but things changed after her daughter's birth. She said, "Sometimes it creates problems for me; my parents scold me for it, and so does my husband. But I do think that a lot of my feistiness, my rebel energy and my angry woman personality have been tamed since the birth of my daughter. I think she really puts things into perspective, and this whole experience has really softened me. I am more patient now, I speak more softly, and I am on time more often than before. Something like this forces you to grow up; I even wake up early now." She also talked about how staying true to herself in the industry is important, and said, "It definitely helps when you aren't born into this industry. I see the kids that are born here, especially the children of actors; Fridays mean something completely different for them. There is so much pressure, and I think the trick is to not surround yourself with sycophants. We see many actors or directors who surround themselves with 'yes-men', and no one tells these people that their last good film was 20 years ago." On 16 July 2024, Richa and Ali Fazal welcomed their baby girl into the world. The couple shared the joyful news through a joint statement, which read, 'We are tickled pink with joy to announce the arrival of a healthy baby girl on 16.07.24! Our families are overjoyed, and we thank our well-wishers for their love and blessings!' They named their daughter Zuneyra Ida Fazal and decided to keep their baby's face out of the public eye. Richa Chadha's recent and upcoming work On the work front, Richa was last seen in the web series Heeramandi. Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the show also featured Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Pratibha Ranta, Fardeen Khan, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Sonakshi Sinha and Taha Shah Badussha in key roles.
