Many alleged that she only came out with the story now to put the spotlight on herself amid Joe's divorce news. "Way to make someone else's divorce about yourself… celebs are so opportunistic… goodness," one person reacted in the replies section. Another snarkily wrote, "So what you're saying is you don't know him and you're coming out of the woodwork saying something weird to make yourself relevant again because he's trending?" 

Nikolas made another post on X after the backlash, stating, that it is a common occurrence for girls and women to be asked for nudes rather than their passions or opinions. Furthermore, she said that it's a 'reality of misogyny,' which she felt had to be commented on.
