Not all Bachelor Nation breakups are as pretty as a rose.
Colton Underwood and his Bachelor season 23 winner Cassie Randolph, for example, vowed to stay friends when they went public with their split in May 2020. Things quickly turned sour after Colton shaded Cassie’s decision to do an interview with Chris Harrison during the summer of 2020, where she accused him of profiting off their breakup by adding a chapter about their breakup to his book, The First Time.
Colton later claimed in August 2020 that the exes buried the hatchet — and Cassie agreed to help him with the chapter.
“I wrote the chapter and she saw it and was OK with it and we made changes. I say we. I know it’s my book but like, there was more than just the breakup that was going to go into the book, the extra chapter,” he said on Reality Steve’s podcast at the time. “The chapter is part our breakup and part me having COVID. We go into the details that we’re comfortable sharing in that chapter and we both went over it together. … Honestly, I think her being a part of it made it even better.”
Cassie was granted a temporary restraining order against Colton in September 2020, citing that she was “fearful for her safety.” The order against Colton — who later came out as gay — was dropped that November.
