PHOTO: Nikki Bella Claims Flirtatious Encounter with Mystery Man Was to Prank Paparazzi

TMZ has run a story featuring a photo of Total Bellas star Nikki Bella appearing to be flirting with a bartender, despite recent reports claiming Bella and John Cena are back together.

The report furthers, however, that Nikki claims the photo was set up in order to prank Paparazzi, however the photo has circulated around the internet and lead to speculation that Nikki was “canoodling” behind Cena’s back.

The report notes the man in the photo is a 21-year-old bartender that Total Divas producers hired to serve the case members drinks while filming the show, and when Nikki grew tired of the Paparazzi taking photos of her and the rest of the Total Divas cast, she decided to stage the photo, which you can check out below, to mess with the photogs.
