Yahoo Lifestyle “Zoey 101” Star Alexa Nikolas Has Alleged That Joe Jonas Asked For “Nudes” When They Were Both Teenagers
In the midst of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s divorce, Zoey 101 star Alexa Nikolas has spoken out about when she allegedly met Joe as a teenager.
Alexa worked for Nickelodeon when she was cast alongside Jamie Lynn Spears on Zoey 101.
Alexa has previously spoken out about “predatory behavior” in Hollywood, alleging instances of inappropriate conduct from celebrities like Jonah Hill and Justin Long. She’s also the founder of EatPredators, an organization that fights against predatory behavior in the industry.
In a post on X, she alleged that when the two met while both in their “teens,” Joe asked her for “nudes” despite wearing a purity ring at the time.
I met Joe Jonas when we were teens and let’s just say he’s the guy who wore a purity ring but asked for nudes. 💀

For the record — Joe, 34, is three years older than Alexis, 31.
A quick refresher: during their Disney Channel days, the Jonas Brothers infamously wore purity rings that were meant to symbolize their abstinence from sex.
Joe previously told Vulture that he was "10 or 11" when he was first introduced to the concept of the rings. "There’s a program people do in some churches called True Love Waits, where you wait for marriage to have sex," he said. "Kevin and I decided to join — Nick tried it later. Fast-forward a few years, we’ve started playing music and we’re working with Disney and we have these rings."
Nick Jonas, in a Reddit Ask Me Anything forum, shed more light on how the brothers ended up with purity rings. He wrote, "There was a person in the church who at one point demanded that all the kids in the youth group put these purity rings on and make this commitment, so without a full understanding of what we were stepping into, we all made this commitment."
Joe, who was 24 years old at the time of the interview, also shared that he and his brothers “decided to take the rings off a few years ago.”
Sophie also previously addressed Joe’s purity ring during Netflix's Jonas Brothers Family Roast. “No, the rings weren’t a good idea,” she said. “Yes, as a gesture, they’re laughably, toe-curlingly lame.”
“Look, Joe wasn’t just sticking his fingers in some dumb metal rings. He was sticking his fingers in costars, actresses, and even a supermodel or two,” Sophie said.
