  • Colton Underwood said The Bachelor took advantage of his ex, Cassie Randolph.

  • He said “too many things” have happened and he doesn’t feel comfortable with the show on a professional or personal level.

  • He also said Chris Harrison tried to make him seem like a "controlling or angry person."


Uhh, I know there are big changes going down on The Bachelorette set, but if you can direct your attention toward Colton Underwood for a second, there’s some major drama unfolding. When Colton went on Reality Steve’s podcast this week, he exposed so much about Bachelor production and revealed why he doesn’t feel comfortable around the show at all.

Being sorta vague about his “falling out” with the show, Colton said, “There’s just been too many things that I’ve found out about and that has happened for me to feel comfortable working with them again on a professional level, not even personal.”

In part, Colton was referring to Chris Harrison questioning his ex Cassie Randolph about their breakup during a virtual interview. Colton explained, “I get very defensive over people I love, and I know Cass is a big girl and she could fight her own battles...And she loves people even if they abuse her, or even if they take advantage of her, which is what they did.”

Directly addressing Chris, Colton called out how the host seemed to ask Cassie questions that made Colton seem like the bad guy. He added, “It’s like, ‘No, Chris. I literally talked to her the morning of that interview. We’re good.’ Stop worrying about me or painting me to be this controlling or angry person. I’m not angry. If there’s anybody I’m upset about or upset with, it’s you guys."

Colton didn’t go into further detail about why he thinks the show abused Cassie, but it’s clear he has several reasons to be done with the franchise.
