Traitors' Colton Underwood hits back after Michael Rapaport's 'homophobic' dig
"Rapaport hit back: "Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you." "There it is," Underwood responded, adding: "You think it was fun for 29 years of my life?" "Oh no, no, no, no, no - that has nothing to do with it. I think you came into this game loving the idea of being a Traitor," he told Underwood, failing to acknowledge the accusation made."
"In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Underwood spoke out about the incident, explaining that the "coming-out process takes a long time", and there are things that continue to "re-trigger old emotions". Underwood added that he believes Rapaport was aware of what he was insinuating, but he emphasised he does not "feel like a victim at all". "I know he's probably watching it back just with a little bit of regret on how he delivered it.""
Michael Rapaport suggested at the Roundtable that Colton Underwood was a good liar because he did not come out until 2021, prompting competitors and viewers to defend Underwood. Underwood came out publicly in 2021, two years after appearing on The Bachelor in 2019. He is married to Jordan C. Brown and they share a son, Bishop. Rapaport's remark followed Underwood accusing Rapaport of being a Traitor, and Rapaport responded by implying Underwood had hidden his sexuality. Underwood explained the coming-out process takes time, can re-trigger emotions, and said he does not feel like a victim.
