Colton Underwood drama

In January 2018, before being cast for ''The Bachelorette'', Underwood had a brief relationship with ''The Bachelor'' season 22 contestant, Tia Booth. Kufrin was made aware of the relationship early in the season, but after Underwood received a hometown date, Booth came back and told Kufrin that she still had feelings for him. Underwood was then eliminated. During Underwood's hometown date, he revealed to Kufrin that she was the first girl he has brought home to meet his family. This was later proven to be untrue as fans of the show found old pictures of Underwood's ex-girlfriend, Aly Raisman, at his home with his family. After Underwood disclosed to Kufrin that he was a virgin, Wendy Williams commented on her show that she " oesn'ttrust people that have never had a drink, a smoke, and

trust people that have never had sex". Williams received criticism from some fans, saying she humiliated Underwood and that "virgin-shaming" was not okay. Underwood responded to Williams on Twitter by stating "Don't trust a virgin, but you'll trust your 3 baby daddies who cheat on you every weekend. Okay".
