Michael Rapaport Slammed for ‘Homophobic’ Comment About Colton Underwood

Michael Rapaport is being slammed as homophobic online for comments he made about ‘Bachelor’ star Colton Underwood during a new episode of “The Traitors.”

Check out the clip … the comedian went after Colton’s character during the roundtable before the cast decided who to boot. Directing his anger at Colton, he said … “Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you.”

Colton immediately assumed Michael was speaking about his sexuality, which was a secret for a majority of his life — even when he appeared on “The Bachelor” to find a wife in 2019. Colton swiftly replied … “There it is. You think it was fun for 29 years of my life?”

Johnny Weir — who is gay — and other contestants immediately defended Colton, but Michael claimed they had it twisted. He shot back … “I’m not talking about closets! His behavior is of a traitor. His behavior is secretive, it’s conniving, it’s chirping, it’s commiserating, it’s cowardly.”

However, viewers weren’t too trusting and sided with Colton and his castmates … and took to the internet to rip Michael apart.

The ‘Traitors’ contestants were not forgiving either, and banished Michael from the game. He later apologized to Colton, noting … “I meant what I meant within the context of the game. It had nothing to do with his sexuality. I really, sincerely apologize if I offended Colton or anybody in the house. That absolutely wasn’t the intention.”
