Update: August 17, 2020
Nikkie de Jager (aka NikkieTutorials) surprised her fans yesterday by posting a candid YouTube video for the first time since she and her fiancé, Dylan Drossaers, were robbed at gunpoint in their own home.
“A couple of days ago, Dylan and I were part of one of my worst nightmares,” Nikkie said. “We were robbed at gunpoint at our own home, and even though I can’t tell you too much because there’s still a very ongoing investigation, I do want to let you know that I am okay. I may not look like I’m okay right now, but I’m okay.”
She thanked her fans for being so supportive during one of her “darkest days” and said while she can’t go into detail yet about what happened while law enforcement investigates, she’s grateful for the love.
“Having one of those worst nightmares come true is very surreal, but it also puts a lot of things in perspective,” she added. “Now more than ever, you realize that family is everything and being in good health is even more important. So maybe one day, I’ll be able to tell you everything, but right now, it’s impossible for my mental state but also for the law because we’re trying to do everything to make this right.”
Wishing Nikkie and Dylan peace and healing right now.
