Breaking News: Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole accused of using AI for apology as internet detectives break down every word…see more

Kayla Nicole seems to never escape the storm that follows her name online.

The former longtime girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is once again pulled into a new wave of backlash, and this time the conversation is not only about what she said years ago.

It is also about how she chose to respond now. What began as a resurfacing of decade-old tweets has turned into a much louder debate about authenticity, accountability, and the growing suspicion around the use of artificial intelligence in public apologies.

The SportsRush reported that some online users accused Nicole of using ChatGPT or another AI tool to craft her apology for her old offensive tweets. That accusation has created a second controversy, with people now questioning whether her regret was genuine or written by a machine.

The situation first ignited when users dug up tweets Kayla Nicole posted between 2010 and 2014, long before she became a public figure. Those posts contained racial remarks, homophobic language, and stereotypes aimed at Asian and Indian communities.

As screenshots began circulating at high speed across social media, Nicole took down her X account and later addressed the issue on Instagram. In her statement, she wrote that she was “ashamed” of her past language and stressed that her current beliefs “are rooted in love, respect, and empathy.”
