On Wednesday evening, Nichols spoke out about it on the clock app, informing her followers about how her husband Derick has stepped up in the time since Randon’s murder.
Responding to a fan who’d asked about Derick’s psychological well-being amid the family upheaval, Nichols revealed that she’d been on a girls’ trip at the time the news broke about Randon’s death.
