Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, is facing backlash on social media after posting a new swimsuit photo on Instagram.
Nicole, a popular social media influencer with 787,000 followers, shared a series of beachside photos in her latest post.
However, it wasn’t just her stunning swimsuit that caught the attention of her followers—it was her use of a starfish as a prop in the photos that sparked controversy.
Many of her fans took issue with the inclusion of the starfish, pointing out the potential harm to the sea creature. “You do realize when you took the starfish out of the water it was suffocating, right? But good pics. Just bad for the starfish,” one concerned follower commented.

Another fan expressed similar concerns, writing, “Kayla, I love you so much, but I am passionate about not picking up starfish. The oil and chemicals on your skin can be harmful to them, and when you take them out of the water, they’re literally suffocating.”
Despite the backlash, Nicole has been enjoying an eventful summer, often sharing glimpses of her beach adventures with her followers. In a recent post, she humorously remarked, “Three places I’m not going this summer—out of my way, back & forth, labor & delivery,” showcasing her playful personality.
While Nicole, who previously dated the Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end, has been making the most of her summer, her followers were quick to point out the environmental impact of her latest photoshoot.
The controversy highlights the delicate balance influencers must maintain between sharing their lives with fans and being mindful of the messages they send.
As Kayla Nicole continues to enjoy her summer, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of environmental awareness, even in seemingly harmless activities like a beach photoshoot.
