Do many nofollow links from one website will hurt my website SEO?

Do many nofollow links from one website will hurt my website SEO? Please let me know. I am getting about 20 thousand UGC links from a news website after I posted one comment on an article.

Please suggest asap.

This blog article can clarify your doubts: https://moz.com/blog/nofollow-sponsored-ugc

For example, if Google suspects that those 20K links are  sponsored but they are tagged as UGC, then there can be a penalty. If those links are legitimate and the website DA is high, then those links can actually improve your reputation regardless of the nofollow attribute.

Thanks for the reply, Victor. For now, I have deleted my account from that particular website from where I got 20k links in a day. The sole reason was that I was getting 20k links per day added to my backlink profile without any increase in the referring domain.
