Artem Chigvintsev, best known for his role on “Dancing With The Stars” and his marriage to former WWE star Nikki Bella, recently made headlines after being arrested for domestic battery. A lot has happened since then and now many fans have been criticized for not respecting Nikki Bella’a boundaries.
As previously reported, Nikki Bella filed for divorce from Artem and she is seeking full custody of their son. In response to her divorce petition, Artem has officially filed for joint custody of his son, Matteo. In addition to joint custody, Chigvintsev is seeking spousal support and asking that Nikki Bella cover his legal fees and court costs.
On the Eyes Up Here podcast with Francine, ECW legend Francine talked about how fans sometimes misinterpret small online interactions as personal connections, commenting on the recent online reactions to Nikki Bella’s public issues with Artem Chigvintsev.
Francine expressed frustration, explaining that fans often believe they are friends with celebrities simply because they watch them on TV or receive a response on social media. She emphasized that these interactions do not create real friendships, but rather reflect fan support, adding that many people struggle to distinguish between reality and fantasy in these situations and she criticized them for not respecting Nikki Bella’s boundaries.
“I’m sorry for these remarks; you don’t know Nikki as a person. Do you know her? Are you friends with her? I mean, the fans think they know you because they watch you on television. They don’t know you. My friend this. My friend that. No. I hate to say this, but you’re not friends with these people. You know them because you watch them on a program, and maybe somebody tweeted at you and said, Thanks for the support and thanks for the… that doesn’t make you best friends with someone. That doesn’t make you friends. That makes you a fan of them. You are a supporter of these people. You are a fan. [Respect her boundaries] I sound like a b**** right now, but people can’t draw the line. They don’t know reality from fantasy.”
Nikki Bella’s divorce filing revealed a significant decision —she has chosen to part ways with Artem Chigvintsev. After recent events, fans can understand why she made this choice. The situation has garnered considerable attention, and we do hope that fans respect Bella’s boundaries as the case progresses.
