This makes me so sad for so many reasons. I was/am a huge fan of her skating (an unpopular opinion, I know! LOL).

I thought she became an actress? Why the heck is she selling meth in Jersey City? Gak. Maybe a stint in jail / rehab will straighten her out.

Another article I read said that she could get up to ten years jail time for this offense.

Sad. I also thought she was a tremendously talented skater.

20 other people arrested in the ring. Any other skaters, I wonder?

Is Nicole going to be our next Chris Bowman?

So here is the latest - possibly a mug-shot type of photo - looks like she has pleaded not guilty.

I couldn't access the artical. I didn't know she went into acting. If she did. But didn't she get arrested before for drunken Driving? All I can say is.....not again!!!!

Wow! 8O She looks awful! I didn't even believe that was her when I first looked at the picture!

That shouldn't be an unpopular opinion! Nicole was one of the most naturally talented skaters ever. If she has ever had the discipline and work ethic to go farther, she would have been phenomenal. If only Richard Callaghan could have tamed her for one more year thatn he did!

Oh my God. It's hard to believe that's her - but looking at her skin/hair I'd say she wasn't "just the president, but also a member" (to quote those cheesy Hair Club commercials). Meth does horrible things, in so many ways. :(

And Mel -- jeez I really hope not. Maybe this arrest will get her the help she needs before it's too late. You wanna talk about a complete waste of natural God-given talent? Chris Bowman personified it.

How could a life once so promising come to this?! 8O

[mskater]

I can't stand to see her look like she does - she's so beautiful, the last time I saw her was in DC at a skating event and she looked like a million bucks. Hopefully she will fight through this and get healthy again - I know I'll be praying for her!

Has anyone heard anything more recentally about this story?
