Before stepping into the limelight as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Brooks Nader revealed she had a brush with softball fame—or at least a bat-related moment of chaos. She recently shared a story about a dramatic teenage confrontation with her father, who caught her sending explicit photos.
In a TikTok video, Nader posted a smiling snapshot of herself accompanied by the trending phrase, “You’re so funny!” in bold text. What followed, however, was a tale far more wild than humorous. She confessed that when she was 16, her dad seized her phone after catching her in the act of sending risqué pictures.
According to Brooks, her father bolted to his car and locked himself inside, presumably to examine the contents of her phone. Desperate to get it back, she grabbed a baseball bat and attempted to break into the vehicle. Though it’s unclear how much damage she caused, Nader admitted in the video caption that her efforts earned her a lengthy grounding—approximately two years.
The motivation behind this revelation isn’t entirely clear, but the TikTok clip sparked a mix of reactions from viewers. While some expressed shock, others joked about having similar experiences, hinting this kind of scenario might not be as rare as it seems.
Though Nader hasn’t delved deeply into the dynamics of her relationship with her father, her frequent TikTok posts featuring him suggest they’re on good terms today. It’s safe to say any past drama hasn’t created lasting rifts.
Aside from her modeling career, Brooks has gained additional public interest through her partnership with Gleb Savchenko on Dancing with the Stars. Their relationship, marked by ups and downs, has kept fans intrigued.
One thing’s certain—whether it’s a modeling gig or a bat-wielding stunt, Brooks knows how to make an impression!
