Redeemed villainess Nicole

Nicole (Katherine Diaz) was a hidden redeemed villainess from the 2019 Lifetime film, Trapped Model (alternately titled, A Model Kidnapping; airdate July 6, 2019). She was introduced as the assistant to photographer Hunter Kelly.

Nicole appeared to meet main protagonist Grace, who answered Hunter's ad, and took her to the studio. After their arrival, Nicole was scolded by Hunter for carring a peanut flavored granola bar, as Hunter revealed that he had a deathly nut allergy. As the film progressed, Grace found out that Hunter's ad was part of his plan to lure various girls into being forced to participate in online porn, with Hunter putting Grace to work and ordering her to make racy and suggestive poses in provocative outfits.

Nicole was revealed as a villainous conspirator when she was shown seated next to her (revealed) lover during a video shoot, and it was uncovered that Grace wasn't their first victim. Around five other were lured to Hunter's studio, with the evil Nicole being used to pick up the girls and drive them to the studio. Though Nicole believed that they were eventually let go, Hunter actually killed them, and regarding Grace, she learned the truth about Nicole when she prevented Grace from leaving. All the while, Nicole became jealous of the attention Grace was receiving from Hunter, and even lashed out at Hunter when he called out Grace's name during a tryst.

Nicole's redemption came when she learned the truth about Hunter's past victims, and threatened to leave him, only for Hunter to force her into remaining with him, adding that she was in too deep with him. The film's climax saw Matt, Grace's boyfriend, lure Nicole out in the open by posing as an aspiring model answering Hunter's ad, after which he tracked Nicole to the house. Matt ended up captured, but Grace spotted Nicole's peanut bar, took a bite, and kissed Hunter to activate his allergy. While the protagonistic couple made their escape, a dying Hunter went to Nicole and begged him for his medication, only for Nicole to toss Hunter's medication into the garbage disposal, cementing her redemption. Hunter succumbed to his allergy as a result, but not before stabbing Nicole to death with a knife.
