What Happened To That Engagement Ring

[Blind Gossip] This athletic guy’s love life has been fascinating to watch.

You may be wondering why he broke up with the girl about whom he was talking about marrying just a couple of months ago.

We told you in the past that his claims of purity prior to his relationship with her were not exactly accurate.

He has actually had plenty of partners in the past.

They were just a lot more hairy and muscular than her!

The novelty of having sex with a woman wore off fast. He didn’t really like it. He tried, though.

Thus, the breakup.

What about all that blah blah blah about getting engaged and moving in together and planning a wedding?

Fake. At least from his side. He was never going to marry her.

Having sex with her wasn’t a total loss, though. He may have just successfully parlayed his experiment into an eternal confirmation of his masculinity!

There are a lot more commercial opportunities for him now that people think he is hetero.

We are kind of curious, though, as to what happened to that engagement ring…

SOLVED!

Athlete: Colton Underwood

Colton Underwood, the lead on the most recent season of The Bachelor, came out as gay earlier this month.

Your friends at Blind Gossip told you that he was gay a long time ago. See The Tight End for details. We just didn’t know how this deceptive behavior was going to play out in the long run!

In an interview on Good Morning America a couple of weeks ago, Underwood admitted to Robin Roberts that he has known that he was “different” from the age of 6 but “couldn’t process it.”

Underwood said that he “couldn’t put his finger on it” until his freshman year of high school. That’s when he figured it out. “I knew I was gay.”

Despite the realization at the age of 13 that he was gay, Underwood used a straight facade to become famous.

Underwood voluntarily appeared on three dating reality shows, each one focused on him being a bachelor looking for the perfect woman.

Each show provided him with an increasing amount of followers and fame and fortune.

While Underwood did not propose to Cassie Randolph in the season finale of The Bachelor, they did maintain some sort of relationship after the show.

However, that relationship turned ugly and they broke up.

And, after they broke up… it got even uglier!

Cassie accusing him of stalking her and harassing her, her friends, and her family. She got a restraining order against Colton.

From EOnline:

Colton Underwood’s Alleged Texts to Cassie Randolph Revealed in Restraining Order Filing

Cassie Randolph accuses Colton Underwood of “stalking” and “harassing” her in a bombshell restraining order filing obtained by E! News. 

On Monday, Sept. 14, a judge signed off on Cassie’s request for a temporary restraining order against Colton. The Bachelor star was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Cassie, her home and workplace. Additionally, Colton is prohibited from contacting his ex-girlfriend, and must not harass, threaten or attack her. 

The restraining order expires Oct. 6, at which point a hearing will take place. 

As for Cassie’s allegations against Colton, she lists the “dates of abuse” as beginning in June 2020, with the most recent incidents having occurred on Aug. 16 through Aug. 19. 

Poor Cassie Randolph. She went looking for a husband and wound up with a stalker.

All of this nefarious activity seems to have happened right after we originally published this blind item.

“Since their breakup,” a written statement included in the filing states, “Mr. Underwood has been stalking and harassing Ms. Randolph. He has sent her unsettling text messages, repeatedly called her, and placed a tracking device on her vehicle to track her whereabouts.”

During one alleged incident on June 27, Cassie states she was visiting her family home in Huntington Beach, Calif., located approximately 30 miles from Los Angeles, where she and Colton both lived. In the early morning hours of that day, Cassie’s brother allegedly “saw Mr. Underwood in the alley outside Ms. Randolph’s bedroom window at two in the morning.”

Colton Underwood is not a regular stalker. He’s a traveling stalker. He will hunt you down when you go to visit your family and stand under your bedroom window at 2:00 am.

Scary.

After being confronted about that event, Underwood started harassing Cassie’s friends and family, too.

In screenshots of alleged text messages sent from Colton to Cassie on June 27 that are included in the filing, he tells her in part, “…Because your [sic] a selfish person who isn’t ready to be loved. I spent two years loving you the best I could and now I’m sitting here feeling like a fool… You’ve hurt me beyond words… I’ve always done nothing but be there for you and you still disrespect me all the time.”

“What did I even do??” Cassie responds, to which Colton allegedly writes back, “You hid things from me and been so shady.”

That’s rich. Colton knows that he is gay… but accuses Cassie of hiding things and being shady!

The stalking and harassment continued.

Weeks later, between Aug. 16 and Aug. 19, the filing states that Colton “used alias phone numbers to anonymously send harassing text messages at all hours of the day to Ms. Randolph and to her friends.” The filing continues, “Mr. Underwood also sent harassing text messages to himself pretending to also be a victim of the anonymous stalker… He later admitted to being the one sending the messages.”

He’s a victim, yo!

After Cassie found the tracker under the bumper of her care, she contacted the police.

Cassie then states that on Aug. 19 she discovered a tile tracking device taped to the bottom of the back bumper of her car.

“Fearful for her safety,” the filing describes, “Ms. Randolph contacted the police and a private investigator to help her figure out who had placed the tracking device on her car and was sending the messages stalking her whereabouts.”

Two days later, after speaking with Colton about what had transpired, the filing states that Colton “admitted that he was the one who put the tracker on her car and had been the one sending text messages to her, her friends and himself, under the alias phone numbers described above.”

So Colton admitted to being guilty of all of these frightening activities: stalking, harassing, tracking, and pretending that he was a victim, too.

The restraining order was granted. A few months later, Cassie dropped the restraining order.

In a statement at the time, Underwood said:

Today Cassie asked the court to dismiss the temporary restraining order against me. The two of us were able to reach a private agreement to address any of Cassie’s concerns. I do not believe Cassie did anything wrong in filing for the restraining orders and also believe she acted in good faith. I appreciate everyone’s respect for privacy regarding this matter.

“I do not believe Cassie did anything wrong”?!

That is bizarre. Instead of apologizing for his own behavior, he talks about her behavior as if he has graciously chosen to forgive her.

During the GMA interview in which he came out, Colton Underwood finally did apologize to Cassie. Oddly, though, he did it with a grin on his face. Perhaps he was just nervous, but it was still creepy.

So while others are celebrating how wonderful and brave Colton Underwood is for coming out, we will remind you that, just a few months ago, he was wreaking havoc on an entire family while simultaneously claiming to be the victim. To deflect any criticism, he also claimed that he was so distressed about his situation that he wanted to end his life.

In the SOLVED blind item, The Tight End, we speculated that Colton would actually continue to be rewarded for his deception and bad behavior.

To sum it up, Colton Underwood – who has been gay all along – managed to score a “relationship” with an Olympic athlete, three reality TV shows, one book, and almost two million Instagram followers by pretending to be interested in women.

And now people are lauding his “bravery” and “honesty” for finally speaking “his truth.”

He will likely be rewarded for this with even more fame, more interviews, and more followers. Maybe even another book and another show.

Unfortunately, it turns out that we were right.

Netflix has offered Colton Underwood his own reality show!

From Variety:

Colton Underwood, former star of “The Bachelor,” is getting his own reality show at Netflix.

The project, which is currently in production, is an unscripted series with multiple episodes, numerous sources tell Variety, describing the project as focusing on Underwood living his life publicly as a gay man.

Netflix declined to comment on the project.

Colton Underwood has already begun filming… and promoting himself via snaps on social media.

Not everyone is happy about Colton being given his own show. A petition is circulating to try to get the show cancelled because of Colton Underwood’s admitted stalking of Cassie.

We’ll see what happens.

Finally, about that engagement ring…

Cassie told Jimmy Kimmel a few weeks ago that she returned the Neil Lane diamond engagement ring to Colton.

We do not know what Colton did with the ring. Perhaps he is wearing it in private, pretending that it’s the Super Bowl ring he will never win…

Congratulations to Lad86000 for being first with the correct response!
