"Apparently we live in a world where other people hate on people who are truly themselves," Nikkie said."I have been blackmailed by people who wanted to leak my story to the press."In an emotional video shared on her channel Monday, the 25-year-old beauty personality, whose real name is Nikkie de Jager, came out after she was allegedly "blackmailed" with threats of outing her.
"I can't believe I'm saying this today. To all of you, for the entire world to see, but damn, it feels good to finally do it. It's time to let go and be truly free," Nikkie expressed. "When I was younger, I was born in the wrong body, which means that I am transgender. It's so surreal saying this. Filming this video is scary, but it feels so liberating and freeing.
"Apparently we live in a world where other people hate on people who are truly themselves," Nikkie explained. "I have been blackmailed by people who wanted to leak my story to the press. At first, it was frightening. It was frightening to know there were people out there that are so evil that they can't respect someone's true identity."
While she never called out the alleged blackmailers by name, Nikkie sent them a message by flipping off the camera. "This ones for you," she said. "I hope you can sit nice on it."Earlier in the video, Nikkie touched upon her transition story, revealing that she started identifying as a girl at age six and began taking hormones at 14. According to Nikkie, who has had her channel for 11 years, she "fully transitioned" when she was 19.
