Kayla Nicole Apologizes For “Hurtful…Ignorant” Past Comments

On Thursday (November 13), Kayla Nicole acknowledged that she’s seen the conversation surrounding her past social media use. She shared her statement on her Instagram Story and wasted no time apologizing. Her first sentence states, “I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the hurtful tweets I posted so many years ago.” The media personality also said seeing the posts resurface last week was “incredibly difficult.”

“…And reading them now, I’m ashamed that I ever thought or spoke that way,” Kayla Nicole wrote. “They were ignorant, hurtful and completely wrong. The woman I am today would never use those words or express those kinds of views. 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.”

Nicole said she has deletes the controversial tweets, and her X (formerly Twitter) account entirely. Why? She says she refuses “to keep that energy alive or contribute to a cycle of hate.” Additionally, the influencer pledged to show her growth through her present and future actions.

“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. I can’t change the past, but I will continue showing through my actions who I’ve become and what I stand for today.”

At this time, it’s unclear who dug up Kayla’s old tweets, which she published between 2010 and 2014.
