Nikki Bella is sharing insights into her painful past in a new memoir, titled Incomparable, co-written with her twin Brie. The 36-year-old Total Bellas star shared graphic details about her assaults, and explained why she felt ashamed, until she learned to let it go. Now, she says she feels called to empower others.
Nikki wrote that she was raped at 15 by a fellow high school student she “thought was a friend.”
“There is the horrible offense in the moment, and then the shame and blame that follow and feel almost worse than the original pain,” she wrote in the book. “When something like this happens to you, you understand the blame-the-victim mentality, how easy it is to feel shame rather than anger, how easy it is to feel like you could have stopped it yourself.”
