Brooks Nader, a Sports Illustrated star, took to her TikTok on Friday (July 4) to share an unfiltered period mishap.
In the clip, the 28-year-old confidently spins in a cap-sleeve black top and long white skirt before revealing a visible blood stain on the back. “Tries to be chic,” she wrote in the overlay text. “Starts (blood emoji) at Wimbledon.”
She added: “Of course (tennis emoji) #wimbledon,” poking fun at the timing of it all.
Watch the TikTok video below:The moment quickly resonated with her 217K followers, who flooded the reality TV star's comments with support. “You’re so real for this,” one penned, while another added: “THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT THING TO SHARE."
"A QUEEN HAS BEEN SPOTTED," a third user quipped. "It happens to us all. Thank you for sharing your reality," a fourth added.
Others called it “a canon event for all us girlies” and applauded her for showing an authentic moment that many women experience.
“Dare I say you’re more chic now,” another user commented.
Brooks wasn’t alone during the incident, as she was joined at Wimbledon by her sisters, Grace Ann Nader and Sarah Jane Nader.
The close-knit siblings, including Mary Holland Nader, are currently filming their Hulu docuseries Love Thy Nader, which follows their unfiltered lives together in New York City.
“There’s chaos, there’s drama, there’s boys [and] there’s girls. There’s everything you can imagine under the sun,” Brooks previously told US Weekly about the show. “Just four girls from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, living in the big city in SoHo, all under the same roof. What can go wrong?”
The sisters have also crossed paths with another famous sibling group, the Kardashians, whom Brooks described as “amazing and incredible people” while promising that have their own story to tell.

The candid post came just days after Nader attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish wedding in Venice, where she was seen chatting with former rumored flame Tom Brady.
The pair were linked last summer after meeting at an A-list Hamptons party, and they recently crossed paths at the F1 Miami Grand Prix in May, per Page Six. However, Brady was notably absent from Wimbledon, reportedly yachting in Ibiza instead.
Brooks, who is entering her seventh consecutive year with SI Swimsuit, credits much of her grounded approach to the advice of mentor Christie Brinkley.
“The first day that I met her, I said, ‘How did you do it, and what is your biggest advice?’ And she said, ‘Show up on time. Show up with a smile on your face, never complain, and always be grateful,’” Brooks shared.
It’s advice that continues to guide her, even during life’s unexpected moments - like getting your period at Wimbledon.
