Colton Underwood isn’t one to shy away from confrontation, especially when it comes to defending his identity. Recently, he found himself responding to a particularly harsh comment made by a fan during the latest season of The Traitors. The comment, which suggested that Underwood should revert to being straight, didn’t sit well with him. Underwood took to Instagram to express his views, highlighting his current happiness in marriage and encouraging a message of kindness—because really, who needs the negativity?
As a former contestant on The Bachelor and other reality shows, Underwood has navigated the intense spotlight that comes with fame. Since coming out as gay in 2021, he’s confronted many misconceptions and judgments, hence why this nasty remark hit hard. He made it clear that he wouldn’t wish the struggles of being in the closet on anyone. His response has opened up conversations among fans and contestants alike, reinforcing the idea that kindness should always prevail over hate—especially in the often messy world of reality television.
The drama didn’t stop there, though. Fellow contestant Michael Rapaport stirred the pot further with comments related to Underwood’s past, which led to some intense exchanges on the show. Thankfully, Colton’s message resonated with many, reminding viewers that even in competitive environments, compassion is key. In a world where opinions can get harsh, Underwood’s strong stand serves as a lesson for all—let’s choose kindness instead!
