Cristy Nicole was in the news in October of 2013. After modeling for Playboy, she became a Spanish teacher at the Dallas Independent School District. In October of 2013, she was fired from her job as a teacher, because the school found out about her modeling history. A big campaign was launched online to get her reinstated, but it had no effect. Cristy Nicole returned to online modeling, reactivating her Model Mayhem profile.
Cristy was named the Coed of the Week in December 2010 and the Coed of the Month for February 2011 in the Cyber Club.
She appeared in at least three pictorials for Playboy Plus: "Be My Ecstasy" (with Victoria Winters), "Naked Outdoors" and "Pure Beauty."
