IIRC this was only a guess. I don’t recall any definitive information on her or her appearance here, but Lemmy banned her images based on that suspicion.
Im struggling to remember the details if im honest.
Initially it was new accounts spamming Nicole photo and links to a matrix channel. However, there was no “Nicole” to talk to, just vague directions to find her at her work.
After a while someone started a community about Nicole posts and there were a few threads kinda collating theories on what was going on.
I forget the details exactly but IIRC someone postulated that is was a creepy stalker trying to prompt people to go find her IRL. On realising that the /c/Nicoled community was fueling creepy wierdo’s game, the mods locked some posts or something.
Thats when shit got real, and the same spam accounts started DMing gore stuff, but no confirmation of whether it was “nicole”.
That was it really. Nothing further.
At the very least, it certainly wasn’t Nicole
DMing her own photo to everyone.
The consensus in the end was that Nicole was a victim of harassment.

I just wrote up the story here:

If she’s a girl, she’s getting harassed.
And because of that it don’t feel right to use her picture to make jokes.
