TEEN Mom Nikkole Paulun was quick to slam trolls who called her “dramatic” for sobbing in a heartbreaking video about leaving her baby.
The reality star has been quite open about her personal life, even recently slamming her previous ex and his parenting.
It all kicked off when Nikkole took to Instagram to share a video of herself crying and holding her 4-month-old son Bodhi.
She wrote over the clip: “Tomorrow I go back to work after 18 weeks off with my baby.”
Nikkole also captioned it: “I knew it was coming but it still hurts so much.”
However, while some fans supported her, others weren’t about it, as one wrote: “why did you record yourself crying?”
Another added: “Who filmed his?” while a third chimed in and labeled Nikkole as “dramatic.”
One person added: “How does this work? You cry first then start to record or you record first then cry?
“I feel like if you’re that distraught you wouldn’t be thinking “wait, let me grab my phone and record this!” Not trying to be mean, I just don’t understand.”
The response had an impact on Nikkole as she soon took to her Instagram Stories to hit back at the trolls.

She wrote: “Just shaking my head at people who think it’s dramatic for me to be sad.
“I don’t think you understand how demanding my job is. I’m mandated seven days a week… it’s not like I’m going to have weekends with him.”
Nikkole then added: “… I”m struggling with intense PPA [postpartum anxiety]. I’m a mess.”
Back in July, the MTV alum gave birth to Bodhi after suffering a miscarriage.
The 28-year-old shared a snap of herself and husband Kyle Ledda admiring the little one in the hospital, writing: “Baby boy is here! After 14 hours of labor we welcomed our sweet rainbow babe last night!
“We’ve been just resting & soaking him all in. Thank you all so much for the prayers & congratulations. He’s perfect! “
‘I HATE COPARENTING’
Aside from Bodhi, the reality star is also a mom to son Lyle, born in 2009, with her troubled ex Josh Drummonds.
Nikkole also welcomed a daughter in 2015, Ellie Jade, with her ex-boyfriend Ryan Rice.
In September, Nikkole did not hold back when it came to ripping on her baby daddy Ryan, claiming he is “sleeping all day” when Ellie is under his care.
The 16 & Pregnant vented about coparenting on her Instagram Stories, stating: “I feel like this is the perfect example of what coparenting feels like for me.
“I feel like I’m always giving 110 percent. I’m always the one keeping the magic alive. I’m always the one that keeps everything going and keeps her happy and takes care of… I hate co-parenting.”
The mother of three then added that Ellie claimed her father “doesn’t feed” her.
Nikkole’s post concluded: “It’s just exhausting and my heart hurts for Ellie and I worry so freakin much every time she leaves.”
Previously, Nikkole revealed to fans that Lyle’s dad Josh, who is in prison, won’t be released from until 2026 after his meth and armed robbery charges.
