The Past
In the book, Nikki reveals that she was raped twice as a teenager. The first assault happened when she was 15, and it involved a fellow high school student who she thought “was a friend.” The second assault occurred a few months later when she was 16, and it involved a college-aged man who invited her over to his home and spiked her drink.
While speaking to PEOPLE, Nikki explained that she blamed herself for the assaults, which is why she kept her experiences a secret. This is what she said:
“When that happened to me, I immediately just felt so ashamed and blamed myself, and that’s what made me want to keep it such a secret. And keeping that a secret and blaming myself, I started to lose my confidence. I started to disrespect myself. And then the relationships I got into at a young age, I let other people disrespect me and felt like, that’s okay, this is what I deserved.”
What Made Nikki Bella Tell Her Story
Nikki did not have to share these traumatic events with the world, but she did so because she wants to help others who have gone through the same experience. This was her reasoning:
“I’m having these younger women look up to me, maybe I can help them and have them not hold onto this as long as I did. It wasn’t until I was 28 and in a relationship where someone started to teach me how to respect myself. That’s how long I held on to things and felt I had no boundaries.”
What happened to Nikki was horrible, and no woman should ever have to go through such an experience. Hopefully, though, Nikki will be able to finally move on with her life, so she can enjoy the birth of her first child and her upcoming wedding.
