Colton Underwood invited fans to ask him questions over Instagram to pass the time whilst he was on a flight over the weekend… but he quickly shut down any inquiries that got a little too personal.
Underwood, 29, who shot to fame on The Bachelor, came out as gay last month.
One Instagrammer asked him, “How many guys have you done things with?”
“Let me vent for a second,” responded Underwood. “Questions like this are inappropriate. I understand you might know me from the bachelor where I shared a lot about my personal life. I have set boundaries and I’m respecting myself in a way that will lead me to a healthier life.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
He continued, “’I never asked to be labeled as the virgin bachelor and have people feel the security to ask me questions about my sex life. It just happened and during that time I thought I had no other choice but to just go with it the network would be mad.
“I know differently now. I’ll share what I want and this won’t be one of those things.”
Instead, Underwood was happy to answer less intimate questions. Others asked him about his life in Denver. He said he “loved” the area and was “glad to call it home.”
Another asked if relocating to Denver from Los Angeles had helped him to be his true self. He responded, “Moving literally saved my life.
“I have the best family support system in Denver. I wasn’t built for LA during that time in my life.”
Underwood came out in an interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America on April 14.
It prompted a mixed reaction. It emerged on the same day that Underwood had already inked a deal with Netflix to feature in a documentary series about his coming out journey (in the same Q&A on Instagram this weekend, Underwood said the series is likely to drop “Fall 2021”). This prompted criticism from some that he had monetized his coming out.
Others also pointed to the fact his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Randolph, who he met on The Bachelor, took out a restraining order against him last September, alleging he stalked her. The order was dropped last November after the two reached an agreement addressing Randolph’s concerns.
Last week, in an exclusive interview with Variety, Underwood revealed that his coming out had been partly prompted by a blackmail threat. He said he’d been seen at a gay men’s spa in Los Angeles. Someone subsequently contacted him and said they had naked photos of him at the venue.

In the same interview, he said he “did experiment with men” before his appearance on The Batchelorette in 2018, but that these experiences were “not sex.”
“When I say hookups, not sex. I want to make that very clear that I did not have sex with a man, prior to that.”

Good for Colton. He seems healthy and happier.
Leave Colton Alone should be the new Leave Britney Alone.

Did he ever tell the host of the bachelor or any interviews about the bachelor that it was inappropriate to ask questions about him being the virgin bachelor? Fair or not he shouldn’t be surprised that the topic goes there, he kinda set it up that way.
spiralx
To be fair, he does address that aspect of it in his comments, above. Basically he’s still in a learning curve, and making mistakes. Or – past tense – made. All part of life’s rich tapestry…

God. What do people expect him to say. There is literally no right answer for this. Too much..get raked over the coals. Too little..liar…get raked over he coals.

I don’t like people asking randoms about their sex life. But he is the one who keeps putting himself out there to be berated by the public/asked invasive questions. He is also attempting to now use “gayness” and “coming out” for clout and a platform the same way he used being a “straight virgin” looking for hetero commitment. He as well someone, who in the span of a few months, went from “straight” guy stalking and tracking his ex gf, to innocent “gay” guy who doesn’t know much about “gay” anything but is ready to accept himself, to talking about blackmail, bathhouses, Grinder, hook ups, etc.
The manipulation and calculation has been so obvious and abundant that folks are most intrigued by what is actually “real” about him and his stories rather than anything else he has to offer. Unless you’re thirsty for him.

Well our resident DUNCEton has weighed in now!!!
Donston
Yes, I’m that resident bad bytch that keeps basics and trolls in their feelings. How you doing Miss Teri? You do need to step up your troll game though. Dunce-ton, really?

I don’t follow him on social media, but these pictures of Colorado are nice, so I’m glad Queerty put this post together. We’ll probably be reading more and more about him as we approach the premiere of his show some 4 to 6 months from now. Can he build his fan base and hold the public’s interest until then?
Manrico Jimenez
She has fans? o_0
Catholicslutbox
He’s white and fit.
So yes, he has fans.
He has a boring face, but desperate minorities eat it up.
Mister P
I wonder if the “restraining order” was a stunt by his publicist.
Donston
I briefly thought about that as well, because it’s impossible to tell what he has and hasn’t constructed. But I just don’t think it would be a worthwhile hit to his image. The stalking, verbal harassment and car tracking claims are the biggest blimps to his image and the biggest thing holding people back from embracing his “gay” image.
Catholicslutbox
What a diva.

I realize that he probably did not choose to be promoted by THE BACHELOR as “the virgin bachelor,” but that does not change the fact that he WAS promoted that way. So, if he’s going to continue to put himself out there in public, especially after coming out, questions about his sex life are going to continue to get asked. Of course, it’s none of anyone’s business, but the only way to put this entirely to rest is for him to be completely honest and forthright about it. “Okay, here’s what I had done prior to THE BACHELOR with men and here’s what I had done with woman. Since THE BACHELOR, here’s what I have done with men and women, if applicable.” He doesn’t have to name names and he doesn’t have to be super weird about it. Just say it. Make people sorry they asked. And then he needs never to mention his sex life again. This whole “I want to be coy and I want privacy…but also watch my Netflix show about my coming out” schtick is getting old fast.

Why do we have to make this person relevant?? I don’t wish him bad I just don’t care!
Harley
Then don’t click on the article.
talktalktalk
who’d ask this question, or care remotely about the answer to it……yawn
ShiningSex
He’s been to a bathhouse so odds are quite a bit. Just saying.
Troyfight
@ShiningSex ….BOOM!!! Exactly. …..despite the whole thing,,,damn, he’s cute.
Seth
Why do you keep giving oxygen to this grifter’s 15 minutes?
darkanser
Someone must have spent A LOT of money on dental work. Those teeth are PERFECT!!!
BoomerMyles
He was a little too sensitive to a pretty innocuous question.
He could have been more coy with his response than arch.
TheAbsoluteTRUTH
Oh lord Queerty’s newest pedestal queen…ever other day it’ll be a story about this guy
Cam
And every time you come in under a variety of names and attack Queerty for it. For somebody who claims to not like these stories, you certainly spend a lot of time on them.

This is what comes from being in the closet. Be true to yourself as early as possible to avoid being in thie position of having to explain yourself. He seems messy but I am not here to be the end all judge of this guy. I wish him well as he has some bad juju to work out and now has some karma issues but we all should support him – at least he is trying. How many closet cases never even try to grow. I can think of a couple of celebs right off the top of my head who deserve the Liberace award for obviously LYING to themselves and others

Let’s see . . . I’ve had Colton and two of my friends have, too, so that makes at least three that I know of . . .

When are his 15 minutes up?

I don’t blame Colton Underwood for keeping this to himself. Really it’s none of anybody’s damned business how many guys he’s had sex with. Classy people don’t kiss and tell. Meanwhile nude photos at 11PM, Can’t wait to see this handsome guy in the nude.
Me2
Most would prefer him to keep it all to himself and just go live a private life. But he insists on trying to be a celebrity. Considering that he has no actual talent and isn’t an accomplished anything, asking for privacy from the one thing that makes him the slightest bit interesting won’t leave much else. He may want to reconsider.
Tombear
Colton is a big ol bottom boy! And everybody reading this knows an insatiable bottom who can never get enough yet claims to be as pure as the driven snow! If my gaydar is correct Colton is your common garden variety bottom slut and Gus is making him happy at the present time!
roydmck
Gus got a virgin.
Dixie Rect
Wasn’t this known, for a long time? Now, he panders to the community. Next, he’ll want you to buy his book or other garbage.

Glad Colton Underwood has class when confronted with questions like this. Bottom line: How many guys he’s been with is nobody’s Goddamned business, period. BTW: most people will agree it’s nobody’s Goddamned business
