As you may know, the 26-year-old is an incredibly popular YouTube beauty guru who came out as transgender earlier this year.
It's a beautiful video if you haven't already given it a watch!

After her coming out video went viral, Nikkie was invited to appear on The Ellen Show, which she was SO excited for, because who wouldn't be, right?!
Unfortunately, it seems the interview was a MAJOR disappointment for Nikkie.

In an interview with a Dutch TV show a few months back, Nikkie revealed Ellen wasn't super warm and friendly the way she thought she would be.
Host Matthijs van Nieuwkerk asked Nikkie what the experience was like, to which she replied: "It's really nice that you came over and said hello to me... She didn't."
And while we thought that was the end of the shade on Nikkie's part, our girl is back and ready to spill a lil' more tea!

While sitting down with &C Magazine for their May issue, Nikkie explained in greater detail about her trash experience on The Ellen Show.
"Maybe I'm being naive, but I expected them to welcome me with confetti: 'Welcome to The Ellen DeGeneres Show!' But instead, I got greeted by an angry intern, who was a bit overworked. I expected a Disney show, but I got a 'Teletubbies' after dark."
"Every guest at Ellen had a private toilet, but I didn't," she continued.
"I couldn't even use the closest toilet to me because it was reserved for the Jonas Brothers."
She concluded by saying the one celebrity left she really wants to meet is Adele, but is afraid it'll be the same disappointing experience.

"After being on Ellen I thought to myself 'don't meet your idols' haha!"
