“I really like, like, her,” she continued. “I think she’s very talented.”

Later in the episode, Kayla was pulled to the side by Special Forces operatives, who helped her address the headlines and “social media battlefield” she’s faced due to her former relationship with the football player.  

“It’s pretty constant and exhausting,” Kayla noted about the backlash. “It doesn’t matter, I could post about the sky being blue and people will have a response about an ex and their new situation. It’s inadvertently affected me to the point where it makes me question my overall value as a person.”

“I think there’s just the comparison and it’s just like on loop,” she continued through tears. “I think I’m still trying to figure out how to deal with it.”

Kayla has previously expressed the challenges she has faced since her split from Travis and his subsequent high-profile relationship with Taylor.

“I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and just online chaos doesn’t impact me,” the model admitted on an October episode of the Unapologetically Angel podcast. “You could go to my most recent post and it’ll be people debating why I’m worthless and how I’ll never be a talented person.”
