The 33-year-old described social media bullying as a “tumultuous, frequently one-sided journey,” and urged listeners to follow the high path in the midst of criticism. “Preserve the way you feel, irrespective of how they strive to evaluate your worth or question the boundaries which you lack of the capacity to engage,” she went on to explain. “You have no right to react since there is strength in your silence.” Kayla went on to say that the “same strength” can be utilised to “silence the chatter and sounds that beg you to buy into this demoralising and outdated narrative.” Kayla started seeing Travis, 34, in 2017 shortly after they met on social media.

Travis Kelce’s Ex-Girlfriend Kayla Nicole Writes An Open Letter In The Face Of “Backlash & Embarrassment”
Kayla Nicole, the on-the-air host who had relationships with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, shared an “open letter” to her Instagram account Monday whereby she appeared to reference dealing with the “backlash as well as embarrassment” she’s received since rumors of Kelce dating Taylor Swift first surfaced. The past few weeks have been uncomfortable for Nicole. She does not need to be doing anything for individuals to notice her; the entire world is watching to see how she reacts to her ex dating another person, particularly since that individual is the world’s biggest pop singer. Nicole, for instance recently stated that the gym is her “therapy,” & on social media people believe she has been making passive-aggressive remarks about Swift and Kelce. Nicole’s decision to stop following Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as well as his wife Brittany Mahomes, to whom she has previously been close, did not go overlooked. The same evening, Brittany and Swift were photographed having dinner together. In the video, Nicole says to the camera, “It’s consistently extremely significant for me to use this platform not to foment separation but to empower and empower women, Black women specifically.”
“It is possible that they will label you a traitor if you fall in love, she said. She advised her audience to “preserve your heart” and not to “take part in this turbulent, oftentimes one-sided journey.” You’ll think the ones dearest will be there for you, but you’re going to quickly learn people won’t protect what they don’t value.” Nicole said, “It’s not required that you participate.” Nicole stated, “You don’t have to respond,” even though she, too, wonders, “Why me?”‘There is more to this than just me, I’m told. Honesty, trauma, and vulnerability are all aspects of the human condition that can be understood and identified by all. I know I’m not alone, yet I want you to understand that you aren’t either.” She reminded her audience that there are “resources like therapy, meditation, and communities that can assist you make it through.” Maya Benberry, another old Kelce flame, claimed she had received explicit death threats by Swifties. Benberry won the dating reality show Catching Kelce in 2016, but their relationship had burned out by 2017. Still, she claims she has received exposure for a relationship she is not a part of.
