Mikayla Nogueira Fires Back After “Horrible Wife” Claims Over Korea Trip
Okay, but seriously—why are we policing who tags along on a business trip? Mikayla Nogueira just went full-on reality check mode after a fan roasted her for jetting off to South Korea solo and supposedly “forgetting” about husband Cody Hawken. In a June 24 TikTok video (via E! Online), the 27-year-old beauty mogul snapped at followers who labeled her a “horrible wife” for not dragging a working man to her lab sessions abroad.
The Point of View Beauty founder kicked things off by reading a comment: “She forgot about Cody again?!” Then she raised an eyebrow and calmly explained she’s in Korea to formulate makeup, not to host a couples retreat. “Do you bring your husband to work with you?” she asked, pointing out that Cody actually clocks in at his own 9-to-5. Between two weeks of vacation and a real job, he can’t just pop onto every overseas trip. Mikayla’s core message: “Cody’s a grown-ass man. I promise you he’s fine without me, okay?”
This isn’t just a one-time clapback. The influencer has been low-key fed up with the endless grilling about her marriage and future kids. In early June, she shut down pregnancy rumors (“If I was pregnant, I would tell you, but I am not pregnant”) and scoffed at suggestions her content pipeline is drying up because she doesn’t have a “content baby.” Ouch. She called that theory “really strange,” then reminded everyone Cody recently celebrated three months of sobriety after a 45-day rehab stint for drug and alcohol addiction—a milestone she highlighted in the same TikTok (corroborated by E! Online).
Mikayla also shared she and Cody are in couple’s therapy, adding that she’s “living on cloud nine” despite the noise. Her parting shot: she’s thrilled for what’s next and asked haters to chill with the personal digs. Fans have seen countless stars open up about sobriety and relationship work, but Mikayla’s unapologetic defense feels like a fresh reminder that influencers deserve boundaries—even when they share so much of their lives online.
So here’s the takeaway: if you find yourself asking “Where’s Cody?” every time Mikayla uploads a travel vlog, maybe it’s time for a new hobby. This saga isn’t wrapping up anytime soon, especially with her Korea trip behind her and so many makeup formulas still in development. If this trend of unsolicited marriage advice keeps blowing up her feed, don’t be surprised when she’s back on TikTok with another scorching clapback about personal boundaries. Anyway, that’s the gist. Do with it what you will.
