Asking for a quick sanity/memory check from more knowledgeable folks in the thread. I was never a big follower of Cliffe or the Toast back in the day, but I had a basic awareness of them the way you're aware of any internet famous sorta people when you're unhealthily online. She wasn't always this fucking crazy, right? Out in the open I mean?
I recall that she seemed at least a little bit out there, and there was the blatant fabulism when she made up the story about Jesse Singal's uncontrollable lust for tranny cock. But the last couple months, what with apparently fucking the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Troon and now providing extensive blow-by-blow of her fantasy genital disasters, I feel like this is on another level.
(Apologies in advance for the incoming autism)
My general impression from her twitter days is that she had a cycle of behavior she couldn't get out of. She'd be somewhat normal for awhile but then would begin to escalate with a story (her own or some dumb gossip, like the Jeff Goldblum thing) it would get attention, both good and bad, she might be called to the carpet to produce evidence, she would begin losing her shit, and culminate in her deactivating her twitter for awhile. Her return would
always include some post about how she's going to be more low-key, focus on what matters, be closer to God, etc. etc. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Social media isn't healthy for most people but for Nicole, I think it's particularly bad and feeds into a mental illness she won't acknowledge or chalks up to her autism, which I imagine she believes absolves her of responsibility. Towards the end of her time on twitter (during the Pete Buttigieg inspiried slap fight but even before that) a lot of people started admitting that they couldn't stand her or her status as Queen of Twitter and I think that really hurt her. Instagram is better for her because you just don't have the same sort of negative interactions - it's far harder to have the same retarded back and forth fights or be driven off the platform. Few people are going to bother to post a photo and then add commentary about how annoying they find you and even if they did, you're less likely to see it. It's still bad though because she needs the rush from engagement and will literally say anything to get it.
The Diva Cup story is definitely giving me shades of the type of thing that would lead to her deactivating her account in days of old. It hits all the markers for her - it drums up endless sympathy and admiration from sycophants while allowing her to demurely show off her saintliness ("no no, I have no interest in litigation. Yes, I almost died but dear, anyone can make a mistake" and "Oh sweet friend, you see why I couldn't tell you I had a Diva cup stuck up my vag for months on end. I was mere minutes from dying but
I wanted to focus on you." She escalated the story and added the details about the cup because, in her words, she wasn't embarrassed but I get the impression she's either reading here or somewhere else and saw people discussing the story in a way she didn't like. She's even already posted her traditional concluding "Now that I'm well, it's time to focus on what matters in life."
Part of why I find her relationship with Micah so alarming (and entertaining) is because it hits all the same markers. It's a perfect story for her - she not only worked to befriend someone who came at her, she got into a relationship with them. Like, she obviously knows how to use her money to win people over and Micah was probably an easy mark with copious amounts of admiration and supplication from an actual woman. By dating a very fat, caustic tranny, she gets to show off how good and wonderful she is. You may be shallow and find such a person intolerable but she adores their acres of creamy skin and will love and care for them forever and ever. They're both using each other to different ends and they're both fucking nuts. The plane is spinning upwards but you can see the trajectory here and it ends in a fiery crash.
