Nikita Dragun

Nikita Dragun is one of the most popular and controversial.

When it comes to Instagram models, Nikita Dragun is one of the most popular and controversial. She has over 15 million followers on her account and makes an estimated $50k per month just from sponsored posts. But what exactly is wrong with this woman? I'm going to tell you right now that she's not as innocent or sweet as she seems.

Nikita Dragun HATES it when anyone criticizes her plastic surgery...

Nikita Dragun HATES it when anyone criticizes her plastic surgery.

She's very defensive about her plastic surgery, and as a result she has a strange relationship with her fans. She's completely unapologetic about her surgeries, and in fact, she calls other people "ugly" for having natural faces.

When someone pointed out that lip fillers aren't needed at age 30 (and there were rumors that she was getting them done), Nikita had the biggest meltdown I've seen in awhile:

She has a very strange relationship with her fans.

The biggest problem with Nikita Dragun is that she has a very strange relationship with her fans. This can be seen in how she reacts when they talk to her on social media and by how she treats them in general. She seems very defensive, like she has to protect herself from something or someone, and it makes it seem like that person is the fan who wants to talk to her on social media. This can be seen by her reactions when fans comment on her posts: either she ignores them completely or replies with something snarky and mean-spirited.

Another issue with Nikita Dragun is that there is a lot of hate directed towards her online as well as offline (in person). People have been known for bullying and harassing other people because of what they say about this particular YouTuber; however, the majority of these people do not even know who Nikita Dragun is so their arguments don’t make sense at all! The only logical reason I can think of for why these people would want to hurt Nikita Dragun so badly is because she doesn’t treat others kindly - especially those who love/like/respect

She's completely unapologetic about her surgery.

Nikita Dragun is completely unapologetic about her surgery. She has no qualms about how she looks, and she wants everyone else to feel the same way. If you don't like it, that's on you! She knows that her body isn't perfect, but she's proud of what she did with it in order to be happy with herself. Her fans are also proud of her body and want everyone else to accept them as well. They aren't going to apologize for their surgeries or for liking Nikita Dragun, who has made a career out of teaching people how not-sorry they need to be about their own bodies.

Her family might have some reservations about her chosen profession and lifestyle choices (as families often do), but they love her nonetheless—and there's nothing wrong with loving someone who isn't sorry for themselves

She calls other people 'ugly'.

Ugh, I don't even know what to say about this anymore. Let's start from the beginning. A few weeks ago, Nikita Dragun posted a photo of herself on Instagram along with a caption that included the phrase "you look so ugly." As you can imagine, people were not happy about this comment (and rightly so).

So what did Nikita do? She deleted the photo and claimed that she was just joking around and that no one should take anything she says seriously because it's all just jokes! Well..that didn't go over very well either because people pointed out that maybe if you're going to make jokes at someone else's expense then maybe check with them first before posting those photos online where they can be seen by thousands or even millions of people who may not find your joke funny at all. And what did Nikita do next? You guessed it: She apologized for her comments once again—this time in person—but also made sure everyone knew she was only joking when saying something offensive about someone else's appearance. So yeah...it looks like we're back where we started here folks: Another apology from an influencer who says something offensive but still doesn't get why everyone is upset over it in the first place!

She is not sorry for spreading dangerous beauty standards.

You might think that Nikita is sorry for spreading the idea that your body is a canvas. For instance, you might think she’s sorry for promoting plastic surgery as an acceptable form of self-expression and beauty. But you’d be wrong! She said in an interview with Vogue:

"I don't even know why people are so offended by the fact that I've had plastic surgery. Like, why? It's literally my body. Do whatever I want with it."

The problem here isn't just her attitude toward her own health and safety--it's also the fact that she doesn't seem to realize what a dangerous message this sends to impressionable young fans (who already have higher risks than most people).

She's been accused of blackface many times.

Dragun has been accused of blackface many times, but she claims it's not offensive because she was born with darker skin than most people with that ancestry.

Her fans are quick to defend her. They say anyone who says she's doing blackface is "racist".

Dragun insists that if you have darker skin than most people with your ancestry, it's not offensive to paint yourself darker. "If I'm already this dark," she wrote on Instagram in response to one commenter's accusations. "How can I be doing Black face?" In another post, Dragun said: "If you don’t understand why this isn’t racist then there is no point even talking about it."

But she denies it every time.

But she denies it every time. She has a very strange relationship with her fans, who clearly adore her and are the reason for her success. She's completely unapologetic about her surgery, and has even gone so far as to call other people "ugly" because they don't want to change their appearance. When someone pointed out that lip fillers aren't needed at her age (she's 23), she had a huge meltdown on Twitter.

This is not acceptable behaviour from someone who wants to be an influencer and role model for teenage girls in particular.

And she's always had a strange relationship with race.

The most obvious explanation for Nikita's behavior is that she's a white woman who thinks she is black. She has often referred to herself as black and has appeared in photos wearing dreadlocks, which are synonymous with black culture.

But it gets stranger than that: Nikita also claims to be a dragon (the symbol of her company), mermaid (by way of taking baths in the ocean), and vampire (based on her love of sunless tanning spray). In fact, a quick glance at some of Nikita's social media posts reveals an obsession with all things supernatural.

Nikita Dragun is in no way inspiring or a role model.

You may be wondering why I care so much about Nikita Dragun. It's simple: she is a bad role model for young people, and she does not deserve to be praised for her accomplishments.

In addition to being an awful person, Nikita Dragun lacks talent. She has never released any music that's worth listening to; if you listen closely, it's clear that she doesn't even know how to play her instruments well. What's more, the only reason she has so many followers is because of her looks—which are admittedly impressive—and the fact that people enjoy looking at attractive women online. But this isn't enough; as we've seen in recent years with other celebrities who have risen quickly thanks solely to their looks (like Kendall Jenner), popularity doesn't last forever unless there's actual substance behind it.

Conclusion

Ultimately, there is no excuse to hate on people for their differences. We all have different body types, skin tones and hair textures. It's time we started celebrating these differences instead of criticizing them!

    She doesn't seem very nice , but she has her fan base. It;s a sad fact about modern times, share something positive and people don't want to know, share something nasty and it spreads like wildfire. Great story
