Colton Underwood was accused by his ex Cassie Randolph of stalking and harassing her after their breakup, which led her to file a restraining order against him in 2020.

Quick Scoop: What did Colton do to Cassie?

After they split in May 2020, Cassie alleged in court documents that Colton:

  • Sent her and her friends repeated, unsettling messages, including from anonymous numbers.
  • Showed up unannounced at her apartment and at her parents’ home, which she described as unwanted and alarming.
  • Placed a tracking device on her car so he could monitor her whereabouts after the breakup.
  • Created or orchestrated anonymous “stalker” texts that appeared to target both of them, then later allegedly admitted he was behind them.

Because of this, Cassie obtained a temporary restraining order in September 2020 that required Colton to stay at least 100 yards away from her, her home, workplace, and certain locations she frequented. The order was later dropped in November 2020 after they reached a private agreement, with Colton publicly stating he did not believe Cassie was wrong to file and that they had addressed her concerns privately.

In later interviews, including after he came out as gay in 2021, Colton apologized to Cassie, saying he had “messed up,” made “a lot of bad choices,” and was sorry for the pain and emotional stress he caused her. The controversy has resurfaced in 2026 because of his appearance on The Traitors , where critics and former castmates have argued his alleged past behavior toward Cassie should not be overlooked.
