'Total Bellas': Nikki won't allow brother JJ near her baby over political views, fans wonder if he 'backs Trump'

Brie felt that despite differences, Nikki shouldn't forget that JJ is family and urged her to accept him as he was and not cut him out of her life

After watching the latest episode of 'Total Bellas', fans were surprised to learn that Nikki Bella and her brother JJ haven't spoken to each other in months due to a fight over political views. It all began when the twins' father suggested throwing a baby shower party for Nikki. While Brie Bella loved the idea, Nikki was a bit hesitant, as it would mean that all her family members would meet. She also anticipated some awkwardness and tension that might arise if her mother and brother met their estranged father. While Nikki was expressing her concerns, Brie asked her about how things were between JJ and her.

Nikki then revealed that she hadn't spoken to him in a long time. She recounted how the last time they spoke, things didn't go smoothly, as they ended up in a huge fight. When Nikki expressed her political views, their brother JJ didn't take to it kindly and began abusing her verbally. Nikki was so upset with his behavior that she decided that he would never meet her son.

Although Nikki didn't state what her brothers' political views were, fans inferred it as him being pro-Trump and were surprised. Many fans took to their Twitter to express their shock and surprise if JJ is a Trump follower. A fan tweeted, "Wait, JJ is pro Trump? And is Mexican? Wow, que mamao #MoralsOverAll #TotalBellas." "Y’all didn’t know that JJ is a Trump Supporter?? #totalbellas," wrote another fan. "Let me guess, JJ is a trumper. #TotalBellas," commented a fan.

Brie was extremely unhappy with Nikki's decision to not allow JJ around her child and pointed it out to her. Brie felt that despite differences, Nikki shouldn't forget that JJ is family and urged her to accept him as he was and just keep him in distance and not cut him out of her life. Later in the episode, we see Nikki reaching out to a family therapist to seek help on how to deal with her brother. Hopefully, things might get better between Nikki and JJ.

'Total Bella's Season 6 airs every Thursday at 9/8c on E!
