The Soap Queen vs The Bachelor: A War of Words
Lisa Rinna is officially done playing nice in the Scottish highlands. The -year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills icon just nuked her bridge with Colton Underwood in a move that has the entire entertainment industry reeling. On Friday, January , Rinna took to Threads to deliver a vicious reality check to the former Bachelor, straight-up calling him a stalker in front of millions. This is not just a game of Traitors anymore; it is a reputation-shredding battle that is bringing up the darkest skeletons in Coltons closet.
The behind-the-scenes chaos between these two has been building all season on the Peacock hit, but it finally boiled over after Colton tried—and failed—to get the soap legend banished during the Thursday, January , episode. While Colton has been busy questioning Rinnas suspiciously low-key demeanor, Rinna was clearly keeping a tally of his past. When a fan posted an iconic meme of Rinna from her Bravo days, warning Colton not to mess with her, Rinna jumped in with the lethal comment: Let us talk about you being a stalker.
THIS is who Colton thinks he is slick up against? GOOD LUCK BUDDY! We are people doing coke in your bathroom?
The Cassie Randolph Restraining Order: Forgotten No More
Rinna is not just throwing shade; she is dragging up a legal nightmare that nearly ended Coltons career in . For those with short memories, Coltons exit from the straight world was anything but clean. His ex-girlfriend, Cassie Randolph, famously filed a restraining order against him after claiming the former football player planted a tracking device on her car and subjected her to a campaign of harassment. While the order was eventually dropped and settled in private, the stain on his record remains permanent in the eyes of his critics.
Colton later tried to rebrand himself by coming out as gay in , issuing a public apology to Cassie while simultaneously denying any physical abuse. But insiders say the industry has been split on his redemption arc. Some see a man who was struggling with his identity in a toxic straight fantasy, while others, like Rinna, see a disturbing pattern of behavior that should not be rewarded with a prime-time paycheck. The aggressive tone of Rinnas post suggests she belongs firmly in the latter camp.
Fans Demand a Reunion Bloodbath
The paparazzi-style scrutiny of this feud is reaching a fever pitch, with fans practically begging for a nuclear
Rinnas fans are hailing her as an icon for being the only one brave enough to say the quiet part out loud. While other reality stars often play it safe to keep their PR spin intact, Rinna has built a career on owning it and calling out the BS. By labeling him a stalker on a public platform, she has ensured that Colton will have to address his darkest moments yet again, whether he likes it or not. The underground tension between the two is now a national headline.
Lisa. You are an icon. Please ask about the restraining order at the reunion. I will finally tune in to this season if that happens.
Paige DeSorbo Joins the Attack: Why Was He Cast?
Rinna is not the only star livid about Coltons nice guy edit. Summer House firebrand Paige DeSorbo went on a scathing rant on her Giggly Squad podcast just days ago, echoing Rinnas aggressive sentiments. DeSorbo questioned why someone who did highly illegal sh-t to a woman is being given a platform on a hit national television show. She slammed the positive spin Colton is receiving, calling it a horrible message to women everywhere.
DeSorbo did not hold back, labeling Underwood a stalker weirdo and disgusting. She even suggested that he should never be hired for anything ever again. The growing chorus of female reality stars speaking out against Coltons presence on The Traitors suggests that his comeback attempt is facing a massive roadblock. The industry whispers are getting louder: is Colton Underwood creepy and weird, or is he a changed man being unfairly hounded by his past?
Coltons Defense: The Straight Fantasy Excuse
Underwood has been trying to pivot the narrative for years, claiming that his obsessive behavior toward Cassie was a result of him grasping at a straight life that he knew was not for him. He told Variety that he was controlling situations because he was terrified of losing the straight fantasy. But for many, including Cassie, who was overwhelmed and traumatized by the ordeal, the psychological toll was far more real than any fantasy. While Cassie has since married Brighton Reinhardt and found her own peace, her name continues to be a weapon in Coltons public battles.
Colton has slammed hateful remarks about his sexuality in the past, pleading with the public to be kind. But Rinnas attack is not about his sexuality; it is about his actions as a man. The scandal-driven headlines are currently burying his attempt at a wholesome edit. The question remains: can he ever truly escape the tracking device story, or will it follow him like a shadow through every reality show he signs onto? Rinna seems determined to make sure he never forgets where he came from.
I never want people to think that I am coming out to change the narrative. Controlling situations to try to grasp at any part of the straight fantasy was so wrong.
The Cliffhanger: A Reunion to End All Reunions?
With The Traitors season reaching a boiling point, all eyes are on the upcoming reunion. Will Lisa Rinna follow through and confront Colton about the restraining order to his face? Or will the network suits step in to protect their troubled star from a total on-camera meltdown? The animosity is palpable, and the legal history is out in the open. Colton might be trying to play a game of strategy, but he just realized he is playing against a professional survivor who has no problem burning it all down.
The speculation is rampant: will Colton quit before the reunion to avoid the interrogation, or will he stand his ground and face the Soap Queen in a battle for his reputation? One thing is for certain: Lisa Rinna just proved that she is still the most dangerous woman in reality TV. The stalker labels have been slapped on, and they are not coming off anytime soon.
Would you like me to dig deeper into the legal filings from the case or check for a response from Coltons camp regarding Rinnas latest attack?
