Colton Underwood’s ‘Bachelor’ Contract Is O-V-E-R and Now He’s Accusing Production of Crossing Lines

From Cosmopolitan

  • Colton Underwood just opened up about The Bachelor’s production team crossing lines on the show.

  • Colton says he was told to “be a good little boy and keep my mouth shut.”


Colton Underwood is out here promoting his new memoir The First Time, and he just gave a bombshell interview to the Los Angeles Times where he got pretty real about The Bachelor’s production.

Colton said, “There were lines crossed in my relationship with Cassie that I found out about after the show,” and added, “There were things that they said and did that compromised my relationship with her. Now, it makes so much sense that she decided to leave. If you’re gonna make a show, at least give me a fair shot to end up with the girl that I’m falling in love with.”

He also revealed that his contract has prevented him from being super open about the show, but that’s, um, over now:

“I’m actually out of contract now, finally,” he said. “I wasn’t when I was writing the book, obviously. I wanted to follow all the rules, business-wise, and be professional. That was the hardest part for me, and I think that’s where my strongest fallout with them came. I was trying to always be professional, and I felt like at times I didn’t get that in return. I was told to be a good little boy and keep my mouth shut, and it’s like, ‘Come on, guys, treat me like an adult.’”

Apparently, Colton took particular issue with producers pressuring him into asking all four of his finalists’ fathers for permission to marry their daughters—especially in the case of Tayshia Adams. “I didn’t ask when I sat down with her father. And at the very end, [producers] were like, ‘You have to. You need to pull him again.’ By that time, it’s 12, 1 in the morning and I’m like, ‘Okay, can we wrap this up?’ It’s like ‘Well, you know how to wrap this up. Go have that conversation.’”

Wow, love tea time with Colton.
