Nikki ‘Exotika’ Sanders, a controversial star from Season 10 of 90 Day Fiancé, has recently revealed that she has been the target of death threats and cyberbullying. She announced on her Instagram that she will be taking a break from social media due to the immense amount of hate she has received. Nikki expressed that this is the worst case of trans cyberbullying she has ever experienced.
Nikki’s storyline on the show revolves around her relationship with her fiancé, Justin, who had come from Moldova to live with her in the United States. Their relationship faced difficulties when she revealed during an argument that she used to be a man. This caused a rift between them, leading to a breakup for several years. They are currently giving their relationship another try, but Justin is struggling with Nikki’s over-the-top appearance and is concerned about what others will think of her.
Nikki is known for her love of plastic surgery and heavy makeup, always taking hours to get ready. However, her unique style and appearance have attracted criticism and judgment from viewers. In her Instagram statement, she mentioned receiving hateful comments and death threats, which have taken a toll on her mental health. As a result, she has decided to take a hiatus from social media and hand over her accounts to her publicist.
Despite her claim that the “whole reality TV thing” is new to her, Nikki has actually appeared on other reality shows before. She was filmed for the E! series Botched, where she had issues with aftercare and blamed the show for her financial struggles during recovery. Additionally, fans have spotted her in an ad campaign on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (RHOSLC), leading to speculation about her desire for fame and whether her relationship with Igor, her current partner, is genuine or for the cameras.
Overall, while Nikki has had previous experiences with reality TV, the scale of attention and negativity she is currently facing appears to be the most significant she has encountered so far.
