Kayla Nicole Apologizes After Wave of Her Old Offensive Tweets Resurfaced Online
Written by b87fm on 11/14/2025
The media personality deleted her X account earlier this month after posts from 2010 to 2014 went viral, many containing racist remarks about Mexican, Indian, and Asian people, along with homophobic slurs. One resurfaced tweet even targeted Vanessa Bryant, writing:
“Sum1 explain to me why kobe thirsty wife think she can b in front of all th players!? Sit yo no green card havin a— down. #thaafuuuuhh.”
Today, Nicole issued a lengthy apology on Instagram Stories, calling her past words “ignorant, hurtful, and completely wrong.”
“I’m ashamed that I ever thought or spoke that way,” she wrote. “The woman I am today would never use those words or express those kinds of views.”
Nicole added that witnessing the impact of online hate over the years pushed her to permanently delete the account:
“I refuse to keep that energy alive or contribute to a cycle of hate.”
A Halloween Look, Swift Speculation, and a Viral Backlash
The controversy erupted shortly after Nicole went viral for her Halloween costume — a Toni Braxton–inspired recreation of the “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video. The internet immediately interpreted it as a jab at Taylor Swift, who is currently engaged to Nicole’s ex, Travis Kelce.
Swift fans fueled the fire, connecting Nicole’s costume to a lyric from Swift’s latest album The Life of a Showgirl. On the track “Opalite,” Swift appears to reference her partner’s ex:
You couldn’t understand it
Why you felt alone
You were in it for real
She was in her phone
And you were just a pose
Nicole denied any connection to Swift or Kelce, but the discourse kept escalating. Soon after, a Swift fan account resurfaced Nicole’s decade-old tweets, sending them ricocheting across social media.
“I Take Full Responsibility”
In her statement, Nicole emphasized that personal growth — not excuses — is the point she wants to make.
“I take full responsibility for what I posted, and I’m truly sorry to anyone I may have hurt,” she wrote. “My heart, values, and perspective are rooted in empathy, love, and respect. I can’t change the past, but I can continue to show who I am now.”
Nicole’s apology marks her first direct response since the controversy erupted.
