The Bella sister told Yahoo that watching Nikki go through her breakup with John was a very heartbreaking thing to do, and that as her sister, the first thing she wanted to do was keep others out of the situation altogether.
Brie Bella definitely isn’t the only person whose mind was blown by that revelation, since very few people in the world would let such an emotionally fraught period be filmed for the world to later see after awkward edits.
Of course, that’s not something necessarily possible in the middle of filming a reality series like Total Bellas, and Brie said that while it was the hardest season for her to film so far, it’s all part of what they signed up for.
