Kayla Nicole took to social media to apologize after several of her past racist and homophobic tweets resurfaced last week.
“I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the hurtful tweets I posted so many years ago,” Nicole, 34, began in a post shared via her Instagram Story on Thursday, November 13. “Seeing them resurface last week has been incredibly difficult, and reading them now, I’m ashamed that I ever thought or spoke that way. They were ignorant, hurtful and completely wrong.”
The internet personality – who is best known for her former relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce – continued, “The woman I am today would never use those words or express those kinds of views.”

Nicole’s hateful tweets resurfaced after fans called out her Halloween costume, claiming it was a dig at Kelce’s fiancée Taylor Swift. While she claimed she got the inspiration for her Toni Braxton costume from a “white best friend” who happened to also be named “Taylor,” her song choice left followers skeptical.
“Did you know about us back then? / Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?” Nicole lip-synched to Braxton’s “He Wasn’t Man Enough” in a video shared to Instagram on October 31. “I’m not thinking ’bout him / But you married him / Do you know I made him leave? / Do you know he begged to stay with me? / He wasn’t man enough for me.”

Now, Nicole claims she’s “seen firsthand how cruel and harmful online hate can be.”
“I would never want to add to that world of pain in any form. I have since deleted those tweets and my X account entirely, because I refuse to keep that energy alive or contribute to a cycle of hate,” she continued in her apology. “I take full responsibility for what I posted, and I’m truly sorry to anyone I may have hurt.”
“My heart, values, and perspective are completely rooted in empathy, love, and respect for others,” she added. “I can’t change the past, but I will continue showing through my actions who I’ve become and what I stand for today.”
