"One day the people that didn't believe in you will tell everyone how they met you," Brinson wrote on an Instagram picture of the couple in their younger years. "That quote is in honor of @kimrichards11 all I will say at this time besides being best friends, and personally a person who has a great heart is thankful to all her fans and friends for believing in her."
