Nikki Bella's Best Clapbacks at Haters and Mommy-Shamers

Like many celebrities, Nikki Bella is no stranger to online haters. Thankfully, the Total Bellas star has no trouble defending herself against trolls and mommy-shamers. During an April episode of “The Bellas Podcast” with cohost Brie Bella, Nikki clapped back at people accusing her of constantly traveling without her fiancé, Artem Chigvintsev, and their son, Matteo, specifically after posting about a trip to San Diego with her sister.

“I was literally there for 24 hours, Brie was there for 48 hours,” Nikki clarified. “They don’t realize it’s for business and it’s a day. I go there and back.” The Incomparable author then went on to address her appearance at WrestleMania 37 in Orlando, Florida.

“I’m not going to bring my family across the country for a few days and get my baby on Eastern Standard Time when he’s Pacific Standard Time,” Nikki reasoned. “Artem and I, we don’t want to disrupt what Matteo’s doing now because he’s become an incredible sleeper. When I go do stuff, we always plan … because we always want to keep Matteo at home.”

Ultimately, the Total Divas alum made it clear she and Artem are 100 percent on the same page about her traveling. “No, I don’t do vacations without my fiancé and baby intentionally,” Nikki assured. “So, for the haters and the people who don’t understand: Artem and I have an incredible relationship and understanding of like, ‘Hey, if we can do these things and someone can stay home, let’s do that because it’s better for our baby.'”

The E! personality concluded by letting listeners know that there’s more to her life than what they see on TV. “I feel like because I put my life on a reality show, people assume they know everything going on in my relationship,” Nikki expressed.

Of course, with well over 10 million followers across all of her social media platforms, that was hardly the first time Nikki had to lay the ~smackdown~ on haters.

On Her Relationship With Artem:

“I have never in my life had such a passionate connection with someone like this. Even when we hold hands or we kiss or we dance, it’s constant fireworks 24/7. Everyone says, ‘You just have this lust thing. It’s not real, it’s gonna wear off, you’re going to get sick of him.’ But I can’t wait to prove them wrong,” Nikki argued during a March 2020 episode of Total Bellas. “You only hate it because you know it’s the real deal.”

On Snubbing Her Family:

In May 2020, Nikki was accused of snubbing her brother JJ Garcia‘s wife, Lauren, in a Mother’s Day shout-out on Instagram.

“I wrote in-laws, so blessed. So blessed to have so many. My cousins have always been like siblings. Goodness, [I] feel bad I didn’t write my best friends’ names, too! I only wrote besties. They are the closest people to me besides Brie and my cousin Kristin. Next time, I’ll do that so there are no negative comments. Crazy what people interrupt from a Mother’s Day post,” she responded.
