Over 20,000 people aren't happy about Colton Underwood's rumored Netflix series
After coming out as gay during a highly-publicized interview on Good Morning America last week, Colton Underwood made additional headlines when Variety reported that the former Bachelor is set to star in his own Netflix reality series. Production has already started on the unscripted project, which follows Underwood as he navigates life post-coming out with the help of Olympic athlete Gus Kenworthy. While many congratulated Underwood for coming out on Good Morning America, others were quick to point out that this is the same man accused of stalking and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Randolph, who filed a restraining order against him in 2020. A Change.org petition asking Netflix to cancel the Colton Underwood reality series began circulating shortly after Variety published its report on the project; as of this writing the petition has amassed over 25,000 signatures. “Cassie is a victim of Colton’s abuse, and he does not deserve a platform in any way,” the petition reads. “Regardless of his sexuality, Colton should not be given a platform as a result of his abusive, manipulative, and dangerous behavior.”
