He added that he intentionally chose to keep his dating life away from the Netflix cameras for the sake of privacy.
“Having a public relationship, for me, was not healthy,” Colton explained. “I just think right now I’m really sort of protecting and guarding what I have.”
Colton’s relationship with Bachelor Nation’s Cassie Randolph came to an amicable end in June 2020. However, she filed for a restraining order against Colton in September, alleging he stalked and harassed her from June to August.
She dropped the restraining order in November and Colton publicly apologized, stating, “I do not believe Cassie did anything wrong in filing for the restraining orders and also believe she acted in good faith.”
Coming Out Colton premieres on Netflix, Friday, Dec. 3.
