Nikkole Paulun Begs Fans For Money Then Goes On Vacation

Teen Mom fans slammed Nikkole Paulun for going on a family vacation. This comes after the reality star begged her fans and followers for money, so she could keep her lawyer. The 16 and Pregnant alum took to her Instagram Stories to share a series of photos and clips of her “family getaway” to Kalahari Resorts.

It’s not a good look for the reality star. She claimed that she needed money for legal fees. In the plethora of content, Nikkole looked carefree and happy on their trip. She posed alongside her daughter, Ellie, baby boy Bodhi, and son Lyle. Nikkole claimed that she and her family needed “some quality time.”

Nikkole Paulun caught on a family vacation

The television personality didn’t think before posting. She thought it was a good idea to share content from her family vacation. Instead, Nikkole should’ve kept it to herself. Fans know that she needs the money to retain her lawyer. She claims she can’t pay the fees herself.

Yet, she whisked her family away on a vacation. In her Instagram post, she claimed that Kalahari Resorts is “the perfect family getaway during the holiday season.” It’s also possible that the resort paid her to promote them on her Instagram. It’s not uncommon for reality stars to make money as Instagram influencers.

Most make money in exchange for promoting services, products, and trips. Nikkole told her fans that even though it was cold, it was “sunny and 84 degrees inside” the resort. She shared one photo of her baby boy sitting on her lap. He smiled brightly as her other kids sat next to her and smiled.

In another Instagram Story, Lyle rocked his little brother back and forth in his arm. Her husband, Kyle Ledda, also made an appearance. He posed with Ellie and Lyle as they enjoyed a giant pretzel. Fans couldn’t help but notice the timing of these posts after she asked for money.

Teen Mom star slammed for asking for money

Teen Mom fans stormed Reddit. They slammed Nikkole for asking for money. Prior to the trip, she asked her fans and followers to donate funds to her GoFundMe account to help pay for her lawyer. The next thing they know, she was on a family vacation.

• “If anyone is stupid enough to give her money they deserve to be scammed.”
• “This is so on-brand for her.”
• “It’s really gross that she told some sob story and asked for money and then turns around and goes on vacation. People that do stuff like this are horrible.”
• “I hope people that donated ask for a refund and put their thinking caps on next time they are tempted to donate to someone like Nikkole.”

Nikkole noticed the backlash. She clapped back and explained that she collaborated with the resort. Last month, she thanked fans for helping her raise over $3,000 for a lawyer. This came after she was “taken to court” for a custody battle over her daughter Ellie, who she shares with Ryan Rice.
