Beyond her marriage to Victor, Nikki has also cemented herself as a power player in business.
However, Nikki wasn’t always the upstanding member of society she is now.
Nikki is tied to a slew of deaths, even if they aren’t all entirely her fault.

Nikki was only a child when she claimed her first “victim” something most people would never suspect.
Naturally, Joshua’s parents were facing tremendous grief following his death.
Nick Reed had a history of abusing her other daughter, Casey Reed (Roberta Leighton).

When Nikki discovered his heinous actions, he turned his attention to her and made her his next target.
Despite being battered and bloody, Nikki hit her father over the head with a lamp, killing him.
Luckily, Nikki didn’t commit any other acts of murder until she was well into her adulthood.

It took many years before anyone learned what really happened the night of Diane’s “death.”
Like Nikki, Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John) also struggled with a drinking problem.
However, while driving to the meeting, Neil became privy to what was going on and reacted poorly.

While it’s true that she was behind the wheel, Neil was ultimately at fault for what happened.
Thankfully for Nikki, Neil eventually came forward and took responsibility for the accident.
Nikki thought she killed Victoria’s ex-husband J.T.

Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill), it was anything but a fairytale.
Slowly but surely, J.T.
’s obsession with taking down Victoria’s father, Victor Newman, consumed him and became his entire identity.

Unfortunately, Victoria ignored all the red flags that suggested something wasn’t right.
Afterward, the group of women worked together to bury J.T.
