Travis Kelce‘s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole has seemingly deleted her X account amid a slew of controversy.

Multiple media outlets reported that the “Pre-Game” podcast host, 34, deactivated her X account on Thursday, November 6, after a number of alleged old tweets resurfaced. According to the Daily Mail, the messages dated as far back as 2010 and allegedly used racist and homophobic language.

Us Weekly reached out to representatives for Nicole for comment. As of Saturday, November 8, the reality competition TV star’s Instagram account was still active.

The resurfaced, alleged tweets come after Nicole recreated Toni Braxton’s look from her “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video for Halloween, which also sparked online controversy. The footage featured Nicole lipsyncing to some of the lyrics from Braxton’s 2000 diss track, aimed at an ex-boyfriend and his new lover.

Travis Kelce and Ex-Girlfriend Kayla Nicole: The Way They Were

“Did you know about us back then? / Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?” Nicole lip-synched. “I’m not thinking ’bout him / But you married him / Do you know I made him leave? / Do you know he begged to stay with me? / He wasn’t man enough for me.”

Many fans suspected Nicole’s costume was a shady way of responding to rumors that Kelce’s fiancée, Taylor Swift, may have referenced her on her The Life of a Showgirl track “Opalite.”

(Some fans assumed Swift’s lyric that “she was in her phone, and you were just a pose” knocked Nicole for documenting her five-year relationship with Kelce via social media. One viral clip that was resurfaced by Swift fans saw Kelce once asking Nicole to “get off [her] phone” during a dinner date.)

Nicole eventually responded on her podcast with a cryptic explanation that her Halloween costume was inspired by a different “Taylor.”

“I had a white best friend. Her name was Taylor,” she explained. “And she [had] the only house I could go over to as a kid because my mom didn’t play them type of games. I specifically remember driving home from private school in my uniform in the back of a paddy wagon with Taylor, and her mom was playing this song.”

Nicole described this childhood memory as an “a-ha moment” moment, as she realized: “‘Wow, white people listen to Black people music as well.’”

Kelce, 36, and Nicole were together from 2017 to 2002. The Kansas City Chiefs player later moved on with Swift in 2023, eventually announcing their engagement via a joint Instagram post in August.

Some theorized that Nicole responded to her ex-boyfriend’s engagement news hours later by resharing a video of actress Tracee Ellis Ross discussing the difference between happiness and joy.

“I think joy is different from happiness,” Ross noted in the clip. “I feel like happiness is something you can get at 7-Eleven and joy is something that you earn and work for and takes practice. I feel like joy has legs. I feel like joy has feet. I feel like joy has roots. I feel like joy creates space and allows room for more than just a good day. I think joy is an attitude. I think joy is a perspective, and I think joy is a lens through which I live and look at my life.”

Nicole added a caption over the video where she explained: “Read about this very concept years ago in a book called Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn’t Enough. I aspire! So so good.”

Elsewhere, Kelce and Swift, 35, were most recently spotted in their finest fall attire as they enjoyed a romantic evening at The Polo Bar in New York City on Wednesday, November 5.

Swift has supported Kelce several times by attending his NFL games throughout the 2024-25 season, though the couple can enjoy some quality time this weekend since the Kansas City Chiefs have a bye week. (The Chiefs will next play against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, on November 16.)

Apparently, many of the Pittsburgh Steelers players’ wives, girlfriends and spouses are like the rest of Us — they don’t know much about famed quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ new wife, either.

“She’s like a phantom,” one unidentified wife of Rodgers’ teammates told The Daily Mail in an interview published on Saturday, November 8.

“We all want to meet her, to invite her out, get to know her,” the woman, who the publication noted is “part of a social group of team wives and girlfriends,” continued. “But we haven’t met her yet. We don’t even know who she is.”

After initially sparking marriage speculation when he was spotted wearing a ring on that finger on his left hand, Rodgers revealed during a June press conference that he got married to a woman, only publicly identified as Brittani, just “a couple of months prior.”

“Didn’t want that. Didn’t like any of that,” Rodgers said during a June appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, referring to the media attention the former Green Bay Packers quarterback often had on his romantic relationships. “And now I’m with somebody who’s private, who doesn’t want to be in the public eye. Didn’t sign up to be a celebrity. Doesn’t want to be a part of it. Because I do things in private because I want my personal life to be private, now I’m weird.”

He continued, “My private life is my private life. It’s gonna stay that way. I’m with somebody who wants to be private. If and when she wants to be out and there’s a picture, she’ll choose that. She deserves a right to that.”

(Rodgers has previously dated many A-list celebrities, including Danica Patrick, Olivia Munn and Shailene Woodley.)

While Rodgers has adamantly defended his privacy, he has on occasion discussed his new wife in public.

“You know, when you meet the right one and you’re with the right one, your whole world changes in a second. And to have that person that unconditionally loves you behind the scenes — there’s no better feeling in the world,” Rodgers told NFL Network’s Good Morning Football host Kyle Brandt in July.

“I got the most incredible wife,” he continued. “I just really love her and I’m just so thankful to have her by my side in the end. When you have that stability and that rock behind you at the house, you feel like you can do anything.”

New York Jets WAGs ‘Never Saw’ Aaron Rodgers’ Mysterious Wife

In September, after securing a 34-32 win against his former team the New York Jets, Rodgers went so far as to publicly thank his better half for supporting him amid his new season with the Steelers.

“[I’m] thanking my wife and my friends for encouraging me to take time with my decision,” Rodgers said during a post-game press conference at the time. “Happy to be a Steeler and happy the way things went today.”

The player, who claimed he was unceremoniously told the Jets had moved on from the quarterback prior to the 2025-2026 NFL season, prompting him to sign with the Steelers earlier this year, went on to admit that he as “happy to beat everyone associated” with his former team.

Kim Kardashian has revealed the results of her recent bar exam as the reality TV star continues to pursue a career in law.

“Well…I’m not a lawyer yet. I just play a very well-dressed one on TV,” Kardashian wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, November 8, referring to her latest role in the new Hulu series, All’s Fair.

“Six years into this law journey, and I’m still all in until I pass the bar,” The SKIMS founder continued. “No shortcuts, no giving up — just more studying and even more determination. Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way so far.”

She added, “Falling short isn’t a failure — it’s fuel. I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivates me even more. Let’s Go!!!!!!!!!”

Kim Kardashian Reveals When She’ll Finally Be a ‘Qualified’ Lawyer

The results of her latest exam comes just days after the mogul revealed she used ChatGPT to help her study for various law exams — to less-than-ideal results.

“I use it for legal advice,” Kardashian admitted to her All’s Fair costar Teyana Taylor during the latest edition of Vanity Fair’s popular lie detector test YouTube series. “So, when I am needing to know the answer to a question, I’ll take a picture and snap it and put it in there. They’re always wrong. It has made me fail tests all the time.”

She continued, “And then I’ll get mad and yell at it and be like, ‘You made me fail. Why did you do this? And it will talk back to me. I will talk to it and say, ‘Hey, you’re going to make me fail. How does it make you feel? … I need to really know these answers, and I’m coming to you.’ And it’ll say back to me, ‘This is just teaching you to trust your own instincts. You knew the answer all along.”

Taylor, 34, went on to suggest that ChatGPT was more like a “frenemy” or a “toxic friend” to her costar than an actual friend or mentor — and Kardashian agreed.

“Toxic friends, but they need to do better ‘cause I’m leaning to really help me, and she is teaching me a life lesson and then becoming my therapist [telling] me why I need to believe in myself after they got the answer wrong,” she said. “I screenshot all the time and send it to my group chat, like, ‘Can you believe this bitch is talking to me like this? This is insane!’”

Kim Kardashian Graduates From 4-Year Law School Apprenticeship

Kardashian has been studying law and advocating on behalf of incarcerated individuals for years, championing prison reform while passing the so-called “baby bar exam,” a precursor to taking the actual, and significantly more challenging, California bar exam. The reality star has successfully advocated for several pardons, most notably Alice Marie Johnson. Kardashian traveled to the White House to advocate on Johnson’s behalf with President Donald Trump during his first administration. Johnson’s life sentence for a non-violent drug offense was ultimately commuted.

While appearing on the infamous lie detector test series, Kardashian was asked if she considered herself a “real lawyer” yet after.

“Not yet, no,” she replied, before admitting that she has given legal advice to family or friends.

Benedict Cumberbatch is opening up about how fatherhood changed him — as both a man and an actor.

“That’s what changes how you act, when you become a father,” the Marvel star, 49, said in an interview with The Times of London published on Friday, November 7, adding that becoming a dad to his three sons made his “emotions paper thin.”

(Cumberbatch shares Christopher, Hal and Finn with his wife, Sophie Hunter.)

“It isn’t necessarily crossovers between your experience and the character’s, it’s that you become an unfettered channel to stuff that you weren’t before,” the actor added. “Barbie makes you cry and other things make you angry.”

Ben Stiller’s Kids Felt Like He Wasn’t ‘Ever’ There as a Dad Growing Up

Cumberbatch stars in the upcoming film adaptation of Max Porter’s 2015 novel, Grief Is the Thing with Feathers. The book and film are about the sudden and unexpected departure of Cumberbatch’s character’s wife.

“I remember a babysitter looking after me and my brother quite soon after my dad died and we were playing his favorite game, where we kicked each other until one of us begged for mercy, laughing,” Porter told the publication, explaining how his own father’s death influenced his work. “The babysitter said, ‘I don’t know how you guys can be so cheerful after what’s happened to you.’ Should we have stopped being boys and been sad all the time? To perform our sadness for her?”

Cumberbatch then said of an especially sad scene in the film, “When we filmed the scene where Dad is packing his wife’s clothes and he smells her cardigan, people left the set because they couldn’t keep their crying quiet.”

The actor previously opened up about how he’s been impacted by fatherhood in a January 2025 interview with Variety.

“The minute you have kids this sense of time sinks in far more profoundly,” he explained to the publication at the time. “My youngest is turning 6 tomorrow, and I’m like, ‘I will be in my 60s when he’s 21,’ you know? It’s crazy. It’s gone so fast. So there’s a huge shift in priorities, and it makes you value what you do with your life in a very different way.”
He continued: “It does weigh on me. When you become a parent, your thoughts turn more towards mortality.”

Cumberbatch is generally quite private when it comes to his family. Back in February 2022, he spoke about his brood while accepting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

He said of Hunter, “Together, we’ve created an amazing family of three extraordinary little human beings, who again, I would say a lot about, but you know what I feel about them, and this is public. They’re amazing, and they taught me a lot of what I now do and know, and they’ve also undone a lot of what I do.”

He also revealed that his kids treat him like any other dad, despite his career and Hollywood superstardom.

“Should anyone wonder if I can’t recover from this kind of celebration and ego pump, ‘Shut up, daddy,’ ‘Stupid fart face,’ being hit in the face, fought over … is a daily occurrence for me at home, so thank you for keeping me grounded, boys,” he continued. “One day in disguises, maybe we’ll sneak out here and have a little photograph all together on daddy’s star. You’re my little stars, and I adore you.”

UPDATE: 11/8/25 at 5:26 p.m. ET — The Thursday, November 6, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! was reportedly postponed due to a “personal matter” involving the host, Jimmy Kimmel, Entertainment Weekly reported on Saturday, November 8.

No additional information regarding the “personal matter” was given.

Original story below:

The newest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! was unexpectedly canceled and pulled from the lineup at the last minute.

David Duchovny, Joe Keery and Madison Beer were originally meant to appear on the Thursday, November 6, episode of the late-night show. However, the episode was pulled late in the day with no explanation and a previous episode featuring Tessa Thompson, Daymond John and The Beths re-aired instead.

Jimmy Kimmel and ABC haven’t publicly addressed the abrupt cancellation. Beer, 26, meanwhile, took to social media to address her planned performance.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, @jimmykimmellive needed to reschedule my performance that was originally scheduled to air tonight to a later date,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories on Thursday.

Stars React to Jimmy Kimmel Being Taken Off the Air

The surprising change comes two months after Kimmel’s talk show was pulled off the air over his comments about Charlie Kirk. A spokesperson for ABC confirmed to Us Weekly in September that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be “pre-empted indefinitely.”

Kimmel spoke about Tyler Robinson being arrested for Kirk’s murder on the show.

“The MAGA Gang [is] desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” he said at the time. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

Kimmel added that President Donald Trump was taking the news “hard” before showing a clip of the president talking to reporters about the White House ballroom construction after he was asked how he was coping with Kirk’s tragic passing.

“He’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction,” Kimmel quipped. “It’s demolition, construction.”

Kimmel then took a dig at Trump, adding, “This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish.”

In response to his show being put on hiatus, Kimmel received an outpouring of support from fellow celebrities, including Ben Stiller, who retweeted an article about the controversy and added, “This isn’t right.”

Sophia Bush also reposted the news of Kimmel being pulled off air, writing via X, “The First Amendment doesn’t exist in America anymore. Fascism is here and it’s chilling.”

After days of discussion, the Walt Disney Company announced that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would resume taping.

“It’s been overwhelming. I’ve heard from a lot of people over the last six days. I’ve heard from all the people in the last six days. Everyone I have ever known has reached out 10 or 11 times,” Kimmel said during his monologue. “You supported our show [and] cared enough to do something about it to make your voices heard so that mine could be heard and I will never forget it.”

Kimmel then clarified his comments about Kirk’s death.

“I’ve been hearing a lot about what I need to do and say tonight, and the truth is, I don’t think what I have to say is going to make much of a difference,” he said. “If you like me, you like me, if you don’t, I have no illusions of changing anyone’s mind, but I do want to make something clear because it’s important to me as a human: It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don’t think there’s anything funny about it.”

Kimmel continued, “I posted a message on Instagram on the day [Charlie] was killed sending my love to his family asking for compassion, and I meant it and I still do. Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what was a deeply disturbed individual. That was actually the opposite of the point I was trying to make, but I understand to some that felt either ill-timed or unclear or maybe both.”

Conservative political commentator Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10. He was 31.

The Carolina Panthers still aren’t sure about the penalty called on running back Rico Dowdle last weekend — so they asked the expert.

The team invited comedian Keegan-Michael Key to a team meeting on Saturday, November 8, to give the final determination on whether or not Dowdle’s questionable touchdown celebration should’ve resulted in a penalty.

“Let’s get an expert,” Panthers head coach Dave Canales said to the team, before announcing the very special surprise appearance. “Can we get Keegan-Michael Key to explain this to us?”

Michael Key then appeared on a big screen in the front of the room, much to the surprise of the players.

NFL’s Rico Dowdle Starts GoFundMe to Pay Fine for ‘Key & Peele’ Celebration

“I just want to say I’m very honored that you would choose a Key and Peele sketch for your celebration,” Michael Key said. “The reason I’m here is I wanted to share with you guys, especially with you Rico, is that I’ve done my recent research and apparently, I guess the rules that are made up in a comedy sketch do not necessarily reflect the rules in the NFL.”

Dowdle was called for unsportsmanlike conduct after his touchdown during a 16-13 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday November 2. After scoring, he celebrated with two hip thrusts – a nod to the famous Key & Peele sketch from 2013. In the sketch, the player Hingle McCringleberry, portrayed by Michael Key, gets penalized for three hip thrusts, not just two.

Dowdle revealed that he was fined by the NFL for the celebration via social media after the game. Dowdle’s agent, David Canter, said they would appeal the fine, which ESPN reported came out to $14,491.

During the virtual visit, Michael Key did some math regarding the fine.

“14,000 dollars for two pumps, so that’s seven grand a pump,” Michael Key said. “That means if you do zero pumps, then that would then cost you zero thousand dollars and a fine.”

Michael Key originally responded to the penalty in an Instagram video on Monday, November 3, making a joke about the penalty and the sketch.

“Rico, man you got robbed,” Michael Key said in the video. “You only did two pumps. I’m sorry man. Now I’m going to have to write a new sketch.”

In response to the fine, Dowdle started a GoFundMe page, jokingly saying he was raising funds to pay his fine. In reality, the money went to charity.

“After much thought I’ve launched a GoFundMe for my fines,” Dowdle wrote on the page, which he launched Wednesday November 5. “Key said I got three pumps but I guess the NFL disagrees.”

He then clarified the joke: “Actually, 100% of what is raised through this fundraiser will be sent to Children’s Home Society of North Carolina. Children’s Home Society promotes the right of every child to a permanent, safe, and loving family. They specialize in education and prevention programs, family preservation, and adoption and foster care.”

At the end of Michael Key’s visit to the team meeting, the comedian introduced his wife, Elle, who said they were going to donate to a charity of Dowdle’s choice.

“We just wanted to let you know that we saw your GoFundMe,” Elle said. “But even before that we were gonna make a donation to the charity of your choice for 15,000 dollars.”
