Kayla Nicole is reflecting on previous tweets that have gotten her in hot water recently. The fitness influencer deactivated her X account (formerly known as Twitter) last week after posts of her using homophobic and racist slurs surfaced. Now, she is speaking out amid the backlash. “I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the hurtful tweets I posted so many years ago," the post on her Instagram Story from Nov. 13 read, according to BET. "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 added that the woman she is today “would never use those words or express those kinds of views.” The model added that she “refuse[s] to keep that energy alive or contribute to a cycle of hate,” and wants to “continue showing through my actions who I’ve become and what I stand for today.” At the time of this writing, the X account is still not back up.
