Kayla Nicole has apologised for tweets after Swifties attack
Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend deleted her X account in the wake of the drama, which was sparked after a Taylor Swift fan conducted a deep dive through Kayla’s old tweets and found several posts that included racist and possibly homophobic language.
“I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the hurtful tweets I posted so many years ago,” the wellness influencer, who dated Taylor’s fiancé Travis Kelce on and off for five years until 2022, wrote. “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.”
She explained she felt like a different person from the woman who had posted the messages.
“The woman I am today would never use those words or express those kinds of views,” Kayla, 34, continued.
“Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how cruel and harmful online hate can be, and 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.”
Screenshots of Nicole’s tweets from 2010 to 2014 appeared to show her referring to a woman as a “dumb fat Mexican hoe,” retweeting a post that called Asian people “rude as fck,” and threatening to tell an “Indian girl praying/chanting through the walls” that “buddah sic isn’t real.” Others appeared to have included homophobic slurs.
“I take full responsibility for what I posted, and I’m truly sorry to anyone I may have hurt,” Nicole wrote. “My heart, values, and perspective are completely rooted in empathy, love, and respect for others. I can’t change the past, but I will continue showing through my actions who I’ve become and what I stand for today.”
Taylor’s fans rose up against Kayla after she appeared to take a swipe at her ex’s fiancé via a Halloween costume.
Dressing up as singer Toni Braxton, Kayle recreated the music video for the R&B artist’s song He Wasn’t Man Enough, which included the lyrics, “Listen, girl/ Who do you think I am?/ Don’t you know that he was my man?/ But I chose to let him go/ So why do you act like I still care about him?”
