In an interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America, former Bachelor star Colton Underwood came out as gay, saying he was the happiest and healthiest he had ever been. The interview aired the morning of April 14, 2021, and soon went viral across the internet. You can see a clip of it below: In the interview, he said: Roberts asked him about what gave him the courage to come out and he said: Underwood gained prominence as a contestant on the reality show The Bachelorette in 2018, and became The Bachelor in 2019 for its 23rd season. He was heavily marketed as a virgin during that time and met his then-girlfriend Cassie Randolph during that season. They broke up in 2020, and Randolph filed a restraining order and police report against Underwood, accusing him of stalking and harassment, and said he planted a tracking device on her car. She later requested that the police investigation be dropped and withdrew the restraining order. Underwood apologized to her in the interview as well, saying, I would like to say sorry for how things ended. I messed up, I made a lot of bad choices. Given that this interview is available and heavily publicized, we rate this claim as True.
