As previously reported, there is no love lost between Maria Kanellis and the Bella Twins. Maria has stated several times in the past that she has had issues with the twins, particularly when they (according to her) moved to block her and other former Divas from returning to WWE. Now, Maria says that the feud even got as far as their fathers.
Maria spoke with Live Audio Wrestling and during the interview was asked about her issues with the Bellas. Maria noted that the Bellas’ father called her at one point in order to ask her to stop saying hurtful things about them. She said that her father got on the phone during the call and ended up in a shouting match with the Bellas’ dad.
