I’m Not That Colton Anymore: Underwood on Traitors, Truths and Growing Up

Colton Underwood faced renewed backlash linked to his past during The Traitors Season 4 but plans to focus on family and producing after receiving death threats, he said.

  • At the top of episode 8 in the Scottish highlands, Underwood was murdered by Rob Rausch and Candiace Dillard Bassett after a season that premiered on Jan. 8.
  • Following the Jan. 8 premiere, online commenters and social media revisited past allegations, prompting backlash against Underwood for a 2020 restraining order that was later dismissed.
  • Playing as a 'Faithful,' Underwood’s strategic move allowed Candiace to dig her own grave, while a pearl-encrusted harness worn under a tuxedo became a viral meme moment.
  • Facing threats, Underwood and his family received death threats and emailed addresses, prompting Peacock to urge fans to stop sending hate as Underwood considers producing to protect his family.
  • Now identifying as a husband and father, Colton Underwood says he differs from the man frozen in time six or seven years ago and found peace after his husband's father died during filming.
