Michael Rapaport<\/strong><\/a> is being slammed by both his The Traitors<\/strong><\/a><\/em> castmates and by viewers after he attacked fellow player Colton Underwood<\/strong><\/a> at the roundtable.<\/p>\n The 55-year-old podcast host and comedian is facing backlash for the comments he made about Colton <\/strong>while accusing him of being a Traitor.<\/p>\n Earlier in the episode, contestants openly discussed Colton<\/strong>\u2018s history as a former The Bachelor<\/em> lead who eventually came out as gay. <\/p>\n Michael<\/strong> seemed to dig into this topic while coming after Colton<\/strong> during the roundtable ahead of the night\u2019s banishment. <\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cConniving, commiserating Colton<\/strong>. Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you,\u201d Michael<\/strong> said to him. <\/p>\n Colton<\/strong> replied, \u201cThere it is. You think it was fun for 29 years of my life?\u201d<\/p>\n Fellow gay player Johnny Weir<\/strong><\/a> defended Colton<\/strong> and said, \u201cYou can\u2019t blame somebody being forced into a closet for the majority of their life.\u201d<\/p>\n After more contestants defended Colton<\/strong>, Michael<\/strong> claimed he wasn\u2019t talking about sexuality. He added, \u201cI\u2019m not talking about closets! His behavior is of a Traitor. His behavior is secretive, it\u2019s conniving, it\u2019s chirping, it\u2019s commiserating, it\u2019s cowardly.\u201d<\/p>\n SPOILER<\/em><\/strong>: In the end, Michael <\/strong>was voted out of the castle. The cast wasn\u2019t even convinced that he was a traitor. They just didn\u2019t want him there anymore. <\/p>\n As Colton <\/strong>said in his confessional, \u201cI\u2019m typically pretty good at separating game and not playing super emotional, but Michael is now at the point where it\u2019s become offensive to a few of us. And that doesn\u2019t keep you around very long. This might be the straw that broke the camel\u2019s back.\u201d<\/p>\n Michael <\/strong>apologized for his words in his goodbye confessional.<\/p>\n \u201cIt sucks, but I felt backed into a corner, and I tried to fight my way out of it,\u201d he said. \u201cMaybe I fought too hard. 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 <\/strong>or anybody in the house. That absolutely wasn\u2019t the intention. I\u2019m a fan of the game, I played hard. I played a good game, except for when it went a little too far, which sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n See who else went home in episodes four and five<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
