All the backlash surrounding 'Coming Out Colton'

Coming Out Colton initially received a lot of rebuke as many had a problem with a white cisgender man getting a platform to express himself, unlike individuals from less represented groups.

Few also accused Colton of monetizing his coming-out journey.

Underwood became a popular face on reality TV after his appearance on The Bachelor. The star dated Cassie Randolph, who accused him of stalking her and her family. Cassie filed a restraining order against him, but later dropped the charges.

The allegations resurfaced online when the new series was announced. Several people criticized Underwood for using his coming-out experience to evade accountability for legal matters.

In May 2021, Colton addressed the controversy and shared his views on the same. The former football player confessed:

“I never want people to think that I’m coming out to change the narrative, or to brush over and not take responsibility for my actions, and now that I have this gay life that I don’t have to address my past as a straight man. Controlling situations to try to grasp at any part of the straight fantasy that I was trying to live out was so wrong.”

However, Underwood hopes to create an impact in the lives of many through his public coming-out journey. He said:

“I had never seen a football player that had made it to the NFL that had been gay, growing up Catholic.”

He added:

“I’ve had hundreds of gay Christian men and women who are confused in their walk with Jesus say, ‘I felt closer to God when I came out.’”

Coming Out Colton will be available to stream on Netflix on December 3.
