After a year full of revelations regarding her career as a former child star, Nikolas, 30, isn't going into details with a particular tweet.

Nikolas' cryptic tweet follows news that "Zoey 101" will not only be getting the reunion treatment but will be adapted into a film as well. Nikolas played Nicole, a close friend of Jamie Lynn Spears' Zoey for two seasons on the Nickelodeon series. "Zoey 101" ran from 2005 until 2008.

Nikolas has been known to be extremely frank about her experience on-set, having discussed notable encounters with the series' disgraced creator, Dan Schneider, and Spears' older sister, Britney.

Nikolas' Time On The Nickelodeon Series Was Marked By Not-So-Great Memories

Before we get into Nikolas' tweet, let's look back at some notable stories she has told publicly about her "Zoey 101" days.

The Blast has covered many of Nikolas' revelations, including stories having to do with Scheider.

2022 fueled the fire regarding ongoing conversations surrounding the former Nickelodeon staple, particularly with the publication of former "iCarly" star Jennette McCurdy's memoir, "I'm Glad My Mom Died." McCurdy did not refer to Schneider by name; any time Scheider was mentioned, McCurdy christened him as "the creator." Among the stories McCurdy recalls in the book include allegations that Schneider pressured underage actors and actresses to drink alcohol. (via The Blast)

Nickolas also spoke out about multiple alleged incidents involving Schneider, including his reported fascination with his young cast members' feet.

During a podcast appearance last year, Nikolas alleged Schneider would take photos of their feet, and offered a monetary exchange as a trade-off.

"He had a digital camera, and he would go around with money and ask to take photos of the kids' feet- their toes," she revealed to "Vulnerable" podcast host Christy Carlson Romano, according to Daily Mail per our report, "I remember thinking it was weird, and silly almost, as a kid," Nikolas said.

Nikolas also later recalled a story where Britney Spears had allegedly confronted her due to rumors she had been bullying Jamie Lynn on set; the elder Spears sister later apologized for the incident.

The young actress described the incident as "a total blackout moment" where Spears reportedly told her she was "never going to have a career again."

When Nikolas recalled the moment in another podcast interview, she revealed she understood the "Gimme More" singer was "going through her own thing at the time."

Britney would apologize to Nikolas on Twitter, where she would also give her own account of the story.

After Jamie Lynn allegedly recalled she had been bullied by Nikolas, Spears tweeted, "The assistant director and my mom included in the room were just silent !!!," "My sister was literally like my daughter growing up... so I apologize for my ignorance for yelling at you when I obviously had no idea what was really going on !!!"

Spears also tweeted to Nikolas about how she had been unaware of "how good my family was with the ACTING LANGUAGE !!!" at the time.

Although it's unclear exactly what Nickolas was referring to in her tweet, she simply tweeted, "Ew." Many of her followers believed she was referring to the news.

"the movie will flop don't worry," a fan replied.

"we stand with you," another tweeted, along with a heart emoji.

"She's so desperate for money now that she can't use Britney's and that is no reflection on you Alexa at all," another follower wrote.

"I see the Zoey 102 news reached you," another follower tweeted, (Nikolas will not be involved in the film), "Honestly their target audience (early 2000's millennials) know how disgusting the behind the scenes stuff was thanks to you. So any nostalgia we may have had turns into disgust and honestly there are better things to watch than this crap."

"No Alexa no party," another fan tweeted.

The film currently has no known premiere date as of this writing.
