Uh What? No official source has said that.
The only official information released about the setting so far, is that it is around 20 years after the last time we saw Picard (so Nemesis) and that it isn't a reboot.
Should the Picard Show ignore ST-2009 destruction of Romulus?

That’s just nonsense from some YouTube bullshitter.
I'm honestly not sure if it should or not.
One the one hand, I'm really not a fan of the Kelvinverse so I would have no issue removing the moment in history that created it. I guess though that pretending it didn't happen doesn't particularly help anyone. Removing that particular event removes the potential for some interesting story potential for what happens with the Romulans afterwards.

There’s nothing stopping you from pretending it didn’t happen. Just as long as you acknowledge that you’re the only one who thinks that
For what it’s worth, I like to pretend that STV:The Final Frontier never happened.

Lol maybe, but I'd rather not bury my head in the sand.
Depends I guess if its actually considered referencing the movies directly or just that Romulus blew up. If you don't mention Spock or any of the other Romulans from 11 directly then I think it would be vague enough to be fine.
Old Spock is also not from the Prime Universe because in his universe Scotty invented trans warp beaming.
Huh? How does that prove that old Spock isn’t Prime Spock?
Old Spock is from Prime, that is canon.
The Kelvin Movies are part of their properties list, so I don't see why not.
My theory is they're just not allowed to make movies/stories set in that timeline.
I believe that whole not referencing Abramsverse stuff was just regarding the novels, and I think that's been resolved now. CBS is still the primary owner of the property so it's my impression they can reference events that happened in the movies.
I personally feel it would be a mistake to ignore the destruction of Romulus. It's too significant to ignore. Star Trek would just become the next rebootable franchise with no ties to the past except the name.

To paraphrase Scotty himself "Why? How do we know Prime Scotty didn't invent the thing?
Negative. There is no evidence either way that Scott didn't invent transwarp beaming. As with many other things in Star Trek (protomatter, Omega Molecules, Temporal Time War) it happened off screen but is still a part of the universe.
To put it bluntly there is no evidence that Old Spock in ST 09 is not Prime Spock. Just thin justifications to disconnect Kelvin from Prime despite what's being shown and told on screen.
Besides, let's be honest here. The Abramsverse movies made a ton of money overall. It's more likely they'll want to tie the new show into that in some fashion than ignore it. "Hey, remember how they said Romulus was destroyed in Star Trek (2009), now you can see what happened after". Not literally of course, but that sort of thinking.
Star Trek Online wasn’t allowed to reference Kelvin Timeline stuff either except what was established before it was released.
According to one of the devs it was because of JJ not wanting any tie-ins
I haven't gotten into the Online stuff but it make sense. Though I haven't heard of Abrams not wanting any tie ins. After all there have been a lot of comics and there were some Jr Academy books released. I heard it was more legalese stuff because of not just Paramount, but also Bad Robot being involved.
But from what I've heard it sounds like that's all resolved now. I'm not sure if that ever involved on screen stuff by CBS, but I would think it's all good now.
