Bill Burr's wife, Nia Renee Hill, has found herself at the center of controversy after an incident which took place at UFC 295. The event was marked by a main card consisting only of knockouts and TKOs, including a change in the complexion of both the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions.
However, during the event, Donald Trump, who served as the 45th president of the United States between 2017 to 2021, was enjoying the action in a front row seat. While his appearance drew a chorus of cheers from many in the crowd, Bill Burr's wife was among the few who responded negatively to Trump's appearance.
She made herself an internet sensation by flashing double middle-fingers at Trump, which is widely regarded as a rude and insulting gesture. Her reaction drew widespread condemnation from Trump's support base, who criticized Burr's wife for her disrespectful actions.
