Teen Mom reveals terrifying break-in at her new home and claims incident is triggering her PTSD ‘like crazy’

TEEN Mom Nikkole Paulun has opened up about her mental health struggles as she revealed she was the victim of a home invasion.

The 28-year-old moved into her $180K Michigan mansion with her husband, Kyle Ledda, and their three children earlier this year.

Nikkole explained the scary incident on Thursday on her Instagram Stories, admitting that the event has triggered her Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

“So somebody messed with our house the other night, and it has seriously triggered my PTSD like crazy,” she told her followers.

“I did not sleep at all last night. And we don’t know who did it. We don’t know if it was a stranger or if it’s somebody who knows us.

“Um, it’s just like, really, really freaky. I don’t have many things that trigger me anymore because I don’t live alone and because my ex is in prison, so I feel like this safety net there,” the young mom confessed.

Nikkole continued to detail her thoughts and the challenges she’s faced since the terrifying ordeal.

“Um, if you’re new here, he broke into my house. Um, so things like this really really trigger me and make me feel super on edge and just like nervous.

“I don’t talk about it that much anymore, but I am going through it right now,” she concluded.

The MTV star became vulnerable about her fears in January as she admitted that she’s “praying for protection” when her baby daddy Josh Drummonds gets released from prison.

Josh, with whom she shares son Lyle, is serving time for his meth and armed robbery charges.

‘PRAYING FOR PROTECTION’

Nikkole shared a video response to a big question she had been getting from her followers: “Are you going to be okay when your ex gets out of prison?”

Staying warm inside the house in a mustard yellow sweater, she stared directly into the camera, with the question placed as a floating caption in the video.

The clip then switched to her with her eyes closed, looking worried and sad, as she answered with “No” written out a bunch of times, floating all around her head.

Expanding upon the Instagram video, Nikkole opened up a bit more about the thought of her ex-Josh getting released from jail in the future.

She admitted: “I try to not think about it but I know it’s going to happen. 

“It’s hard for people to understand how hard it is to live a normal life when someone like that isn’t locked away where they can’t get to you. 

“I try to tell myself that he won’t do anything but I know that’s not true. 

“Living life constantly on edge and trying to protect yourself and your family 24/7 is not a good feeling.” 

The Teen Mom continued: “I’m going to take all the steps possible to protect all of us but it’s the small moments that worry me. 

“Of course at home we’ll have a security system, protection, and all of that, but what about when I’m loading my groceries at the grocery store? 

“These are the moments that scare me most. It creates a worry that makes you not want to leave the house.”

She said she’s going to “just pray for protection over myself and my family” whenever the time of his prison release comes.

BAD BLOOD

In September 2021, Nikkole slammed her jailed baby daddy, admitting that she “hates him so much.”

The revelation came in a TikTok video she posted online showing throwback clips of her mother, Rikki, on 16 & Pregnant.

Nikkole captioned it: “Do you remember my episode? lord I should’ve listened to my mama #16andpregnant #teenmom #babydaddy.”

The video showed her looking around as the question, “why do you hate your baby daddy so much?” was asked.

As Lukas Graham’s track Mama Said was played, viewers could see snippets showing her mother’s unhappy face.

The show had well documented her mom’s strained relationship with her ex Josh.

MOVED ON

After her relationship with Josh, Nikkole had a second child in 2015 – a daughter named Ellie Jade with ex Ryan Rice.

The TV personality welcomed her third child, son Bodhi, last July with her husband, Kyle.

The two tied the knot in July 2020, and she told fans she’d “married my best freakin friend.”

Nikkole and Kyle recently started fresh in their luxurious Michigan home with their family after purchasing the house in March.

The mom of three has continued to share photos and videos on social media, boasting about their new oasis.
