Kathy Laurinaitis, mother of Brie and Nikki Bella, undergoes brain surgery today

Former WWE Superstars Brie and Nikki Bella announced on their Instagram accounts that their mother, Kathy, is undergoing brain surgery today.

On the season finale of Total Bellas, Kathy revealed that she was having a bout of Bells Palsy, which was paralyzing one side of her face. The paralysis wound up being caused by a mass on her brain stem, resulting in today’s surgery.

Kathy is married to WWE Producer John Laurinaitis.

On behalf of the staff of Wrestleview, we’d like to wish Kathy Laurinaitis a safe surgery and speedy recovery.

Our Mama Bella, our Gigi, our Gato is about to head into brain surgery. I ask for so many prayers, so much light and love sent her way. ❤️✨ Sadly they found what you can compare to a tumor on her brain stem that has been paralyzing her face. I have faith that the amazing doctors will do an incredible job and our Gigi will be on the road to recovery starting late today. She’s loved by so many of us and just pray that her road to recovery is exactly what we are hoping for so we can put two new grand babies in her arms soon. Love you SOOO much Mom! You have a big Bella Army out here praying for you!! ❤️🙏🏼✨
