I’m glad he’s found his peace, but he legitimately stalked her and her family. His being gay doesn’t make that make sense to me. He put a tracker on her car. He showed up at her house at all hours of the night. He faked text messages to her and to himself pretending to be the stalker when HE was the stalker. That must have been terrifying.
I know it’s not a simple situation, but I feel like there are other gay men Netflix could work with that haven’t stalked women.

I feel like he’s using coming out to make money and make himself look good after the Cassie stuff.

There’s no good excuse for Colton’s behavior toward Cassie. From what I read, he admits that. I don’t know how she feels about all of this in light of his coming out but whatever she’s feeling, she’s entitled to it. I hope she has the support she needs and deserves.
I don’t know what to say/think about the Netflix deal. I would hope that he would be using his platform for good. I guess we’ll have to see.
I will say that I’m empathetic to his pain. It’s obvious that he felt so much shame about who he is that he had to bury his identity for years. I can see how that would make you do regrettable/wrong things. Doesn’t excuse it, but certainly explains it.

I’ve read there are informal talks with Bachelor producers to be the first gay bachelor.
I have thoughts on that.
While, I’m glad he can live his truth. I think in light of what happened with Cassie, the first gay bachelor shouldn’t be him. I feel like he needs time to figure this out. He’s newly out and read that he’s not had an emotional connection with a man yet. He’s got a lot to figure out before finding love on national television.

BUT Cassie took so much heat and he got to go into the background and now no one is talking about all of that and he was never fully held accountable.

He should definitely answer for what happened with Cassie. I saw that she was blindsided by this news/not given advance notice. I think that would've been considerate of him. I don't imagine that they're in contact anymore (probably a good idea) but he could've conveyed it through a mutual friend so that she was prepared.

He also didn’t warn her or tell her about the interview ahead of time. While I agree he should not speak to her, his rep. could have reached out to her rep.

I don’t follow him closely, but I have read criticisms of him over the years for being misogynistic. Bekah's podcast talked about how he used to talk about the women on the show and sexism and apparently they read a lot of the comments. Many in the comments are talking about his apology being not good because it was the same as Chris Harrison's and Racheal's and that wasn't good enough for him. Others are saying that he is still doing it so he can't have grown to much and then of course those that sing his praises.

Anyone following the reality steve newest drama? tell me more, I don't know what the drama is but I want to. He is the worst now and apparently was worse before. He made some really bad sexist comments before about women contestants and Bekha called him out in her podcast, chatty broads.
Many are saying his apology was crap (it was) and he is erasing the content from his blog. They made a great point in the podcast that even though he has made some progress in the changing of his talk he still has work to do when it comes to race. Many are mad about Tayshia's ex being on the podcast because she trashed him on tv saying that he cheated on her but the husband confirmed it with Steve. A lot of people are saying his apology is no better than Chris or Racheal's and yet he called them out for those.
And of course there are many singing his praises and ragging on cancel culture.

Yuck. I used to read his updates once in a while, but he seemed very "I know something but I can't tell you" neener neener ALL OF THE TIME and it got annoying. I can believe Bekah calling him out, she's that type of human and good for her. I'll have to go listen to her podcast.

lostinfaith225, I'm not surprised in the least, but it reads like he's defensive and he's got his chin out when he says it, telling that his ATFR appearance was just performative.

Sad thing is I think people would have been fine if he said he was helping her to see the wrong in her thinking.

I saw a Reddit post that said that the producers don't like Katie, because she was asked if she would support Chris Harrison coming back to host, and she said no. And she had already put out a social media post about it after she was announced as Bachelorette, so they couldn't really change their minds about the lead at that point. Her styling has been BAD and now I am thinking it may be related. I wouldn't think she would have *that* much power as lead, but IDK, I do think it helped that a lot of alumni came out with CH should be cancelled messages.

I just saw the promotion during General Hospital. I mean as much as I didn't want her I will watch because I always do, but I'll be interested in how her season looks.
Michelle also doesn't support Chris correct which is why Tayshia and Kaitlyn are doing both seasons.

I also agree thatgolfb, I can't imagine a lead holds that much power. They could have claimed scheduling issues and gotten another lead and no one would have cared.

I totally agree! Now it just looks like he cares more about public image.

I've been wondering how this would play out honestly, because her instagram is honest and she calls some things out which they usually really avoid while being the lead. I love it.
