Colton Underwood on Michael's 'Secret' Dig

Colton Underwood is addressing Michael Rapaport's unsettling comment during a recent roundtable on 'The Traitors.' Rapaport's remark, implying Underwood excelled at keeping secrets, struck a personal chord with the former Bachelor star. Underwood, who publicly came out in 2021, revealed that such comments can re-trigger difficult emotions as he continues his personal journey.

Underwood expressed that his decision to join 'The Traitors' was based on its game-focused, non-personal nature. He felt blindsided when Rapaport's comment shifted from gameplay to a personal attack, referencing his past struggles. Despite Rapaport's claims that the remark was solely within the game's context, Underwood interpreted it as a personal jab.

Rapaport was ultimately banished from the show, with many cast members citing his comment to Underwood as a primary reason. Underwood, while not holding a grudge, emphasized the importance of standing up for himself. He and Rapaport have had a private conversation, with more expected at the reunion, as Underwood navigates the intense environment of 'The Traitors.'
