The 25-year-old YouTuber, who goes by NikkieTutorials, was contacted by someone who threatened to out her as transgender if he didn’t “get answers.”
“A couple of weeks ago I got emails from a certain person and he was not okay with the fact that I was ‘lying’ and he wanted to expose that. He had a very pressuring voice and was like, ‘if we don’t get an answer by tomorrow, it’s out.’ I feel like his whole goal with this was to destroy my life. But plot twist. That didn’t happen,” Nikkie explained to Ellen.
