Nikki Bella revealed on the Nikki and Brie Show that she turned down an audition for a Baywatch project because she did not feel confident enough to wear a swimsuit on camera every day.

Bella shared the story during a solo episode of the podcast while answering a fan question about confidence and self-image.

"I had an audition for Baywatch. I ended up not doing it because I knew that I would not be comfortable wearing — or if I was to get it, I would not be comfortable wearing a red swimsuit, 24/7, because I am not confident yet in a swimsuit, so I didn't do it."

Bella framed the choice as a lesson about putting yourself in positions where you can be confident.

"It's certain things that what I've learned is I have to put myself in positions of like, where I feel most confident. When I'm walking down that ramp and I'm in my Nikki Bella gear, I am so confident."

She also reflected on body image criticism she has received recently.

"Someone made a comment about me last week, like, she didn't even say thick in a good way, like — she got bigger. And they could say all they want. The comment didn't even affect me. It affected me because I felt so damn good. So I just think you have to get to that place where you just are like, this is me. This is my beauty."
