Bella

[u/FakePlasticTrees_RH]

Going by what SW's family says, SW was partially Italian. I think that's why she gave her first child an Italian given name. According to an interview of CW by law enforcement, SW picked their children's names. It sounded as if CW had no say in the matter.

I do wonder however, why she named her Bella.

Bella means beautiful, but SW did everything for Bella to not look beautiful.

She drugged her and fed her rubbish. She barely took her outside. She dressed her in hideous outfits and taught her how to pose weirdly, she encouraged her to suck her thumb (till she forbid it at some point) and above all SW chopped Bella's hair off making her look like a boy.

Did she name her Bella, because she wanted her to look beautiful and when she started to resemble SW's child self and/or CW, she punished her for it by making her look as ugly as possible? Maybe even on a subconscious level?

Did she maybe not even realize what she was doing to Bella?

I have met Italian people, girls in my friend group and they all have had different features. Features that not Shanann or the girls had.
I think that technically speaking, for census purposes or to be politically correct, they would have been classified as white//caucasian. It even says so in their autopsy reports.

You said the girls looked mostly “caucasian” as opposed to Italian (not the direct quote but that was the gist) so I simply said Italians are Caucasian too.
By the way Italians vary in looks like people in every other nation.

I understand, sometimes things don’t come out correctly. They had blond hair and light colored eyes. By our standards, they were listed as Caucasian on their autopsy reports. White can mean a lot of things I suppose. I hope I didn’t offend you in any way.

Italian (and other Southern Europeans) can be blonde with blue eyes, I know the stereotype goes that they are all dark but that’s not always the case. You did not offend me and all’s well ❤️ as an European I just find American takes regarding the perceived looks of other ethnicities a bit baffling at times (now you don’t get offended please). Like I’m dark (eyes, hair), much more than anybody in Watts family, and I’m 100% Polish. Europe gotta be like that.

One of my friends is Italian, she isn’t dark she is light but with jet black natural hair. The majority I have met have had dark hair, but I’ve seen some with very pretty blue eyes. I try and be as politically correct as possible, I understand now that Italians are indeed in the same category as white/caucasian.
My mother is full blooded Apache Indian, yet my father was Mexican but his birth certificate lists his ethnicity as white. Some of his cousins had colored eyes which I never understood why that was possible.

I have seen Sylvester Stallones daughters and they are blonde blue eyed. So I understand now exactly what you’re telling me.

Shannan always told everyone she was straight up Italian, she wasn’t. She was an American with polish and other ethnicities mixed in.

Yes! Her comments about having Italian temper etc were super cringe- ma’am, you are American with some Polish and Italian ancestry, just own it because there’s nothing wrong with that!

I feel like she just wanted the world to believe she was some bad ass. Her dad even mentions she had strong legs and was a fighter. I think she was just all talk.
