In a video posted to her YouTube channel on Thursday, Randolph -- without mentioning his name -- said she won't be discussing Underwood coming out as gay or any aspect about her Bachelor ex. "Before I get into anything, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the kind comments and messages from you guys," Randolph said. "I really appreciate it regarding the topic in the media that brought my name up this week. Just want to let you know that I'm not going to be further discussing it or commenting on it for now." She added: "There's a lot of layers to it, and I just feel like the best thing for me at this time is to move forward and just focus on going forward. So if I do decide in the future to say anything or make a comment at all, you guys will be the first to know. But for now, just wanted to say thank you for all the kind messages and comments and DMs, and although I can't respond to all of you guys, I want you to know that I read them, and I'm so thankful, and I feel very loved and supported."
