“I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and just, like, online chaos didn’t impact me, it does. Even to this day,” Nicole said.

“You can go to my most recent post and it will be people debating each other why I am worthless and I’ll never be a talented person and I have no career,” she added.

Reese asked Nicole why she thinks she has been subjected to so much hate after handling the end of their five-year, on-off relationship with “grace.”

“I don’t know,” Nicole responded. “I think that there’s something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people, and it’s unfortunate because I’ve never done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.”
