If you want to know the most “slept” comedian (anti-woke icon), then it has to be Bill Burr. His set stems from observing the woke propaganda through an old-school lens.
Listening to a middle-aged man rant about the ridiculousness of this generation, that we all want to say but can’t, is the utmost voyeuristic delight.
As a result, Bill Burr is usually idolized by a particular demography– the “bros” community who waged war against wokeness and cancel culture.
But in life’s most whimsical irony, today, Burr’s wife is canceled by the same legion who supported Bill’s ideologies.
On November 11, 2023, Nia Renee Hill, Bill Burr’s wife, seemed to be flipping former president Donald Trump who attended the UFC 295. Trump made a spectacular entry and sat in the front row, closer to the ringside. Burr and his wife were sitting right behind him. In one instance, Nia Hill was caught showing both middle fingers. However, whether she was flipping Trump or the camera in front of them is undetermined.
Some netizens believe that the foul gesture by Nia Hill was due to her opposing beliefs, which infuriated the conservative folks.
All About Nia Renee Hill– Bill Burr’s Wife
Bill Burr, the fiery bearded comedian, was a fairly new name in the comic scene in the early 2000s. His edgy comedy and knack for capturing the audience off guard earned him a considerable name in the underground.
By 2003, he was cast in season 1 of the Chapelle show. And by Cupid’s miracle, the talent co-ordinator of the show was Nia Renee Hill, who would be his future wife. The two began dating the same year. Hill had a solid network within the comics since her father, Ben Hill, used to be the comedy manager.
A 2019 tweet has resurfaced, which stated that the couple met when Burr guest-starred on “Tough Crowd With Colin Quin,” where Hill also worked.
Bill Burr tied the knot with Nia Hill a decade after dating in 2013. They share two children: a daughter named Lola, born in 2017, and a son born in 2020.
Hill, like Burr, is also a Massachusetts native. The two are also alums of the same university, Emerson College, where Nia graduated with a media arts degree in 2000, while Bill graduated in 1993 with a radio degree. The couple also started a podcast, Bill Burr’s Monday Morning, way before podcasting was the trend.
Nia Renee Hill is also now an actor, as she appeared in Burr’s movie Old Dads.
Why Did Bill Burr’s Wife Flip Off Donald Trump?
The former president, Donald Trump, is a frequent spectacle at the UFC circuit.
On November 11, Trump attended the Saturday UFC 295 event. He made a grand entry, like the fighters, and basically, it was dramatic.
Trump was also accompanied (well, they walked behind him) by Dana White– the CEO and president of UFC, singer Kid Rock, and the conservative media torch-bearer Tucker Carlson. After the posse made their cinematic entrance, Trump was seated in teh front row, closer to the ring.
Bill Burr and his wife, Nia Renee Hill, were seated right behind him. In the video, Hill was captured showing two middle fingers.
Netizens went berserk over this gesture, believing she was flipping off the former president. Meanwhile, Burr was also under fire from his right-wing fans, who thought that Nia’s gestures were ill-intended and showcased his hypocrisy.
However, if you are a true Bill Burr fan, you will know that he never relies on taking a side– he gives back punches equally to both spectrums.
Nevertheless, it is still unsure whether Hill was actually flipping off the president since some netizens pointed out that she was looking into the camera. One inference from this is that Hill might be showing middle fingers to the camera and not to Trump.
What are your thoughts on this case? Do you think Nia Hill meant to flip off Donald Trump? Is she deserving of this massive backlash? Let us know in the comments section below.
