“Seeing them resurface last week has been incredibly difficult, and reading them now, I’m ashamed that I ever thought or spoke that way,” Nicole added, dubbing the posts “ignorant, hurtful and completely wrong.”

She added, “The woman I am today would never use those words or express those kinds of views.”

Nicole went on to seemingly take a subtle swipe at Taylor Swift’s fans, writing, “Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how cruel and harmful online hate can be.”

She called her past tweets “ignorant, harmful and completely wrong.”

She noted, “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.

“I take full responsibility for what I posted, and I’m truly sorry to anyone I may have hurt,” the “Pre-Game” podcast host continued. “My heart, values and perspective are completely rooted in empathy, love and respect for others.”

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

The social media upload came one week after Nicole, who dated Kelce on and off between 2017 and 2022, deactivated her X account.

At the time, alleged homophobic slurs and racist comments Nicole made dating back to the early 2010s had gone viral on the platform.

They came to light after Nicole make headlines for her shady Halloween costume, which was widely believed to be a dig at Kelce and Swift.

She dressed as Toni Braxton from the “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video.

Nicole has since insisted that the ensemble was not worn with the intention of “tearing other women down” — only “celebrating” Braxton.

She admitted that the outfit was inspired by someone named Taylor, but not the ones fan surmised.

Instead, Nicole attributed the idea to a “very specific” moment with her “white best friend” from childhood.

Last month, Swift appeared to savagely diss Nicole on her album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”

In “Opalite,” the pop star, who has been with Kelce since 2023, threw shade at her fiancé’s past romance.

“You were in it for real, she was in her phone,” the singer, 35, jabbed in the hit song, released in October. “And you were just a pose.”
