Brie Bella went looking through herInstagramdirect messages during a podcast recording earlier this month, searching for explicit photos.
She found nothing. Not one unsolicited nude. Ever. Her twin sister Nikki, sitting right next to her, apparently gets them constantly.
The whole thing came up during their podcast appearance with Deion Sanders on 8 February,Wrestlezone reported. Nikki mentioned her direct messages had been flooded with explicit content ever since last year'sSuper Bowl, when she told Sanders her favourite colour was 'dark chocolate' during a Radio Row interview. That comment went viral and, well, some people took it as an invitation.
Sanders asked what she meant by 'flooded'. Brie clarified. Yes, those kinds of pictures. The unsolicited anatomy photographs that nobody's actually asking for. Nikki described the range - some come from regular fan accounts, whilst others arrive from more established profiles who at least attempt some degree of respectability before crossing lines.
Nikki shares her favorite color and all of the sudden her DMs are flooded with what kind of pics?! 🙈#[email protected]/531xXvrqcG
That's when Brie decided to check her own messages. Live, on air, she scrolled through her DMs looking for similar content.
Nothing. Zero. Brie, 42, told Sanders she's never received a single explicit photo from anyone. Then came the question: 'What's wrong with me? Why isn't anyone sending this stuff?'
Everyone laughed, but there was genuine confusion underneath. Both twins are formerWWEDivas Champions. Both areHall of Famers inducted in 2021. Both starred in reality television for years with Total Divas and their spin-off, Total Bellas. Their careers mirror each other almost exactly, yet Nikki's inbox is apparently overwhelmed, whilst Brie's remains pristine,according to Ringside News.
Sanders questioned the logic of sending such photos in the first place. What do these people expect to happen? Does anyone genuinely think Nikki will respond positively? He seemed both amused and baffled by the entire phenomenon.
Nikki admitted her typical reaction is disgust. She uses the word 'Ew,' though she said some senders show more restraint than others. Certain verified accounts apparently keep things respectful rather than immediately crossing lines. She joked that whilst some had 'potential,' others definitely did not. Brie added her own observation: Nikki didn't need dating apps because Tinder came to her instead.
