Kayla Nicole is apologizing for “hurtful tweets” she posted on social media back in the day … and she says she’s “ashamed that I ever thought or spoke that way.”
In an apology posted Thursday on her Instagram Story, Travis Kelce‘s ex-girlfriend says her posts were “ignorant, hurtful and completely wrong.”
Kayla says it’s been “incredibly difficult” seeing her old posts resurface … in part because she says “the woman I am today would never use those words or express those kinds of views.”
She adds … “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.”
The Pre-Game With Kayla Nicole
Kayla’s controversial tweets were mostly homophobic and racist … and they resurfaced after folks interpreted her Halloween costume as a shot at Travis and his fiancée, Taylor Swift. Kayla denied she was taking a dig at the couple.
Amid the mean tweet backlash, Kayla deleted her X account … explaining in her apology, “I refuse to keep that energy alive or contribute to a cycle of hate.”
Bottom line for Kayla … “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.”
