Later in September, a source told PEOPLE that Randolph wanted Underwood “to get whatever help he needs.”

“I’ve reached out, just as far as support,” Harrison said. “I have not talked to them and I am very glad to see that they … [are] taking this off-line. They’re not settling this in the press. They’re hopefully taking care of themselves and each other and being smart about this.”

“I just wish them both well; I wish Colton and Cassie well,” Harrison added to the outlet. “It’s a very unfortunate situation, for sure, and I think a surprising one. Honestly, it was a pretty shocking headline.”
