“Hating Pays Too,” says Angel Reese in response to criticism sparked by an interview with Kayla Nicole.
After speaking with Kayla Nicole, Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Angel Reese responded to the criticism she had been receiving from Taylor Swift fans.
Reese, 22, posted via X on Friday, October 11, saying, “Hating pays too,” and with an emoji of a nail salon. The Chicago Sky forward, who is 35 years old, talked with Nicole, 32, about her relationship with Kelce, 35, in an edition of her podcast, “Unapologetically Angel,” that was released the day before.
In the episode that aired on Thursday, October 10, Nicole said, “We’ve seen each other in public spaces before but it’s — I think that we’re both aware of the nature of his new situation that there’s just no room really for us to communicate or acknowledge each other publicly without it being spun into something crazy.” “I’ll probably give him a nod of the head. That’s all there is to it.
Between 2017 to 2022, Kelce and Nicole had intermittent relationships before calling it quits. In July 2023, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs parted ways with Swift, 34.

Nicole described her previous relationship with the NFL player as “a great guy.” “I was living a fantastic life at that time. Numerous lessons have been learned, but that’s true of all relationships.
She went on to say that she would be wary about forming another public connection in the future. She told Reese, “I don’t see myself doing that anytime soon.” “People are unable to pick at things they are ignorant of. I would simply keep my relationships safe going forward.
On the show, Nicole, for her part, did not bring up Swift at all, but she did discuss the amount of vitriol she has encountered online from a section of Swift’s fandom.
“I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and just, like, online chaos doesn’t impact me,” she revealed. “It does, even to this day. 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, “I think that there’s something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people. It’s unfortunate because I’ve never done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.”
Nicole still has ties to the NFL as a sports analyst, and assured fans that she would continue to talk about all NFL teams and their players, including the Chiefs, no matter how much hate she received.
As a sports pundit, Nicole is still associated with the NFL. She promised supporters that regardless of the backlash she faced, she would not stop discussing all NFL teams and their players, including the Chiefs.
To think I won’t discuss the NFL’s top team, which features the best tight end and quarterback? That’s all part of the terrain, she said. “They will need to move past it.”
