Recently, a fan page shared unfiltered images of Kayla Nicole without makeup while she was getting her hair done. Accompanying the post, a troll sarcastically commented, “Very pretty,” complete with a puking emoji.



 

In response, Nicole retweeted the post, declaring, “YOU WILL NEVER MAKE ME HATE ME. Hang it upppppppp bookie.” Her defiance showcases her determination not to be affected by negative comments.

In October 2023, Nicole penned an open letter directed toward Black women, discussing the “backlash and embarrassment” she has faced since Kelce’s highly publicized relationship with Swift. She urged her followers not to engage in the “tumultuous, often one-sided journey” of online criticism.
