SPOILER ALERT season 4 episode 5 – The Traitors US castle proved not to be big enough for Michael Rapaport and Colton Underwood.
After feuding with almost everyone in the Scottish castle, Michael p*ssed off many fans of Peacock’s popular whodunit with his comment about the former NFL player/star of The Bachelor. So, Michael took to Instagram to accuse the cast of ‘gaslighting’ him.
How it started:
During the roundtable of the episode called If You’re Gonna Come for Me, I’ll Finish You, Michael made a comment about Colton “holding a secret” for 29 years.
In case you’re not familiar with Colton’s lore, he was the lead of season 23 on ABC’s The Bachelor in 2019, where he dated 30 women. In 2021, Colton revealed that he is gay.
“Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than yooooouuuuuu,” growled Rapaport, who pointed his finger aggressively at Colton.

Banished!
Several of The Traitors’ season 4 contestants voted to banish Michael from the game, regardless if he was a Faithful or a Traitor.
Before his exit, Michael later apologized to Colton. “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.”
