During the interview, Nicole didn’t hold back in expressing her thoughts on underwear, calling it “entirely overrated.” She stood by her belief that women should embrace their comfort and “let that [expletive] breathe.” While she maintains a strong stance on the matter, she did acknowledge a few exceptions. “There are certain circumstances where I do think you need to put on underwear, like denim or a short skirt,” she explained.


Her unexpected take instantly caught the attention of fans, as it reflected her unfiltered personality. Given her platform as a fitness influencer, where she often shares lifestyle and wellness insights, this statement added another layer to her growing public persona.

Beyond her opinions on fashion, Nicole also opened up about the challenges she faces with media scrutiny and social media trolls. She revealed that she has endured intense moments of distress, particularly when confronted by TMZ at the airport. “I’ve had full-blown panic attacks in the airport from a TMZ pop-up,” she shared, calling such encounters her “worst nightmare.” Despite the pressure, she refuses to engage with the paparazzi, opting instead to walk past them without saying a word.

Social media criticism has also taken a toll on her mental well-being. Nicole emphasized the importance of stepping away from online negativity, saying, “No. 1 is just logging the f–k out.” She explained that detaching from the virtual world helps her maintain her mental health, reminding herself that “it’s not the real world, there’s life happening beyond the internet.”

Additionally, Nicole had a strong opinion on social media’s impact on mental health, suggesting that platforms should implement stricter measures to regulate online behavior. “I also think people need to start doing psych evaluations before you can create a new Instagram account with a fake profile and a weird picture,” she proposed. “You should have to be psych evaluated.”

While Nicole’s past relationship with Travis Kelce has kept her in the spotlight, she continues to carve out her own identity. As a Pepperdine University graduate and a successful media personality, she remains focused on her career and fitness brand, Tribe Therepe. Her candid and thought-provoking remarks during the podcast reflect her desire to stay authentic, whether addressing personal struggles, media pressure, or unconventional lifestyle choices.
