Colton Underwood is facing renewed scrutiny following allegations of stalking his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Randolph, which were brought back to the public’s attention. The former “The Bachelor” star and current participant on “The Traitors US” was issued a restraining order four years ago after Cassie accused him of stalking behavior, including tracking her car and harassment.
Court documents from the case revealed that Cassie claimed Colton harassed her and her friends through an anonymous phone number after their breakup in May 2020. Their split became marred by ongoing drama, as evidenced by Colton’s later comments on their relationship. In a now-deleted Instagram post, he suggested that the two had been reflecting on their time together and acknowledged that sometimes, friendships were more appropriate than romantic relationships.
The situation escalated in September 2020, when Cassie sought a restraining order against Colton, citing continued harassment in the form of unsettling text messages, unexpected visits to her home, and the alleged placement of a tracking device on her vehicle. Colton reportedly acknowledged he was behind some of the anonymous texts sent to Cassie, despite previously claiming that he was being harassed by an unknown stalker. These messages allegedly included claims that Cassie was seeing another man.
At the time, sources close to Colton indicated he was taken aback by the restraining order, stating that he had not seen Cassie for a month and was surprised by her actions. However, by November of that year, Cassie chose to drop the restraining order. Colton later revealed that the two had reached a private agreement to address any concerns that Cassie had, expressing understanding regarding her decision to file for the order.
These resurfaced allegations come amid heightened public interest in the personal lives of reality TV stars, leaving many fans contemplating the complexities of their relationships. Despite the difficulties of their past, it appears both individuals have moved on, having learned and grown from their experiences. As the landscape of reality television continues to evolve, viewers are reminded of the importance of personal accountability and the impact of relationships—both on screen and off.
