Over the weekend, a fan dug up an old clip of the Bella Twins appearing on the July 26th, 2013 edition of E! Network’s Fashion Police. In the video, the twins were shown a photo of Chyna, who it should be noted was alive at the time, and Nicki Bella would say, “We don’t know if it’s a man or a woman.” This was followed by the show’s host, Joan Rivers commenting, “She is butch, I hate to say that, but her vagina has a penis.” You can watch this for yourself below.
Fans on social media were shocked to hear this and were very critical of the sisters, with some outright saying the WWE Hall of Famers should be canceled. Now though, Nikki has attempted to quell the storm and issued an apology
I want to sincerely apologize for a comment I made over 8 years ago on Fashion Police. I am sorry and embarrassed by my 29-year-old self, who offended Chyna and in turn, hurt her family and others. I wish I could it back. Please learn from me, it’s not worth hurting someone’s feelings for a meaningless laugh. Chyna will always be remembered as an icon and pioneer who helped create the opportunities for women in wrestling that exist today.
Thank you Chyna! – Nikki Bella
Chyna tragically passed away aged 46, just under three years after this was initially aired. Before her death, she has been trying to rebuild her career, returning to the US from Japan, where she was teaching. Unfortunately, she couldn’t overcome her personal demons, and it’s believed her cause of death was an accidental overdose. WWE would posthumously induct her into their Hall of Fame as a member of D-Generation X. Although this did anger a section of fans who believed she should have gone on individually.
