Colton Underwood's Former 'Bachelor' Contestants & Celebrities React to Him Coming Out as Gay

Colton Underwood came out as gay on Good Morning America this morning and afterwards, he began receiving some support from former contestants as well as celebrities in Hollywood.
“I thought a lot about this. Do I regret being The Bachelor and do I regret handling it the way that I did? I do. I do think I could’ve handled it better. I just wish I wouldn’t have dragged people into my own mess of figuring out who I was. I genuinely mean that, but i also at the same time, I could sit here and say ‘I’m sorry’ to all of those women, but I can also say ‘thank you,’ because without them, and without The Bachelor franchise, I don’t know if this would have ever came out,” Colton said during his GMA interview.
