NikkieTutorials slams Ellen DeGeneres in damning interview
"Dylan and myself got attacked but physically we are okay. Mentally it’s a whole other story."
NikkieTutorials and her fiancé Dylan Drossaers were robbed at gunpoint over the weekend in their Netherlands home.
According to reports by Dutch news outlets, at least three intruders, one of whom was suspected to have a gun, invaded Nikkie's home in Uden, Netherlands. It is thought the burglary occurred after Nikkie, real name Nikkie de Jager, had taken her parents out for dinner, but it's unclear if anything was taken from the couple's home at this time.
The YouTuber released a statement about the terrifying attack on Twitter and Instagram on Saturday (Aug 8). "Earlier today one of my biggest nightmares became reality when we got robbed under gunpoint at our own home," she wrote. "Dylan and myself got attacked but physically we are okay. Mentally it’s a whole other story.

Police have confirmed that one of the residents of the house suffered "superficial injuries" on Twitter. "Just reported a robbery on a house in #Uden. The perpetrators threatened the residents with possibly a firearm and took an unknown loot from them," they tweeted.
"There are at least three perpetrators who fled in a beige passenger car towards the A50. One of the residents suffered superficial injuries. We conduct research at the location, such as hearing witnesses. Our forensic investigation department will also carry out a trace investigation."
Nikkie was supported by YouTubers like Jeffree Star, James Charles and Manny MUA, who sent her messages of encouragement on Twitter.
