Comedian Bill Burr's wife Nia Hill has been slammed by some fans of Donald Trump who think she showed the former president the middle finger at a recent UFC event.

The incident occurred when Trump made an appearance at UFC 295 at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday night.

Hill was captured seemingly displaying two middle fingers as the ex-president appeared on the jumbotron.

X user @still_boneless shared a screenshot and clip of the moment and suggested that her gesture was aimed at Trump.

"So, pretty sure that's Bill Burr's wife flipping off Donald Trump at the UFC," the user wrote.

The exact target of the gesture remains unclear, as Trump was in the same aisle as the couple but positioned slightly ahead of them.

TMZ pointed out the ambiguity, noting that while Hill raised two middle fingers when the camera panned to them, it seemed she might have directed it at the camera rather than Trump, who was to her right.

The moment triggered mixed reactions on social media, with some Trump supporters expressing disapproval of Hill's actions.

"So much class," one person sarcastically tweeted. "She is trash. She just makes herself look bad," another wrote.

However, others defended her, arguing that she was flipping off the camera, not Trump.

"She's literally flipping off the camera, not Trump. You all play too much," one user tweeted. "God bless Nia Renee Hill," another wrote.

The Republican presidential candidate arrived at the event over the weekend with a notable entourage, including his son Donald Trump Jr., Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson, and UFC president Dana White, the New York Post reported.

The crowd at Madison Square Garden welcomed Trump with a loud ovation, and he acknowledged the cheers with fist pumps and waves.

The event featured a headline match for the Light Heavyweight title between Czechian fighter Jiří Procházka and Brazilian Alex Pereira.

Trump, known for being a fan of boxing and mixed martial arts, arrived just in time for the pay-per-view event immediately after holding a rally in New Hampshire.

Despite legal challenges and his decision to skip primary debates, Trump maintains a significant lead among potential Republican presidential candidates for the 2024 election.

Recent national polling data, compiled by FiveThirtyEight, placed him at 55.6%, far ahead of other contenders, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy.
