    Nicole's post sparked a mixed reaction from fans.

    'Don't agree with you posting this to 1.1 million people. Why not give the man a photo of you and his daughter? Not accepting the fact he neglected his daughter but you could have turned this situation around abit better the shaming the guy?,' Instagram user chelsearidd wrote.
