Even though Nina Dobrev hasn't said a single word publicly about Ian Somerhalder's recent engagement to Nikki Reed, it's obviously kind of crushing her. She and Somerhalder had dated for nearly three years before splitting up in 2013. The whole time that they were a couple, Reed was one of Dobrev's best friends. They were so close that she and Somerhalder used to double date with Reed and her then-husband, Paul McDonald. Reed basically broke girl-code by gunning for Dobrev's ex and there is no love lost between the two of them which is why fans are questioning whether or not a recent Instagram post was intended to be a shot at Reed.

The photo in question is of Dobrev's cat curling up next to her teddy bear and it's captioned, "Ms. Cuddles trying to cuddle up to my Lynx. But my Lynx doesn't like fake bi*ches. #BeReal or #BeGone#TVD"

Almost immediately, fans began questioning whether or not this was meant as a way to lash out at Reed, with many believing that it is indeed just that. Not that anyone could really blame her. We have heard that just in case it wasn't bad enough to know that her ex popped the question to her former bestie after only 6 months together, they also didn't give Dobrev a heads up on the situation. Instead she found out once the media began reporting that Somerhalder and Reed were engaged.
