Kat Barrell is a Canadian actress best known for her role as Sheriff Nicole Haught from Wynonna Earp.

Portraying one half of the power lesbian couple, WayHaught, Barrell has been a staunch supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. In the August, 2019, edition of Diva Magazine, Barrell opened up about her personal life. Without giving herself a specific label, she stated she is attracted to both men and women. “This is why I am so passionate about advocating for equal acceptance across the spectrum of sexuality. Let’s just love who we love and leave each other alone.”

Barrell was written in by fans for the Canadian Screen Awards Audience Choice Award and made it to the final round. She slyly told fans on social media to vote for her co-star Dominique, who ultimately took home the prize.
