Cassie Randolph didn’t get her happy ending on “The Bachelor” when she got chosen by Colton Underwood, since they ended up having a traumatizing breakup. While their split had first seemed amicable, People reports that Randolph accused Underwood of “subtly engaging in a tactic that peppers in aggressive comments” on Instagram after he bashed her for talking about their split on TV. She then claimed that he tried to make money off of her by adding a chapter about their breakup to his memoir without her permission.
However, things really escalated when Underwood allegedly began stalking Randolph to the point where she filed a restraining order against him. According to E!, part of that filing read, “He has sent her unsettling text messages, repeatedly called her, and placed a tracking device on her vehicle to track her whereabouts.” If that’s not shady enough, he was reportedly seen by her brother standing outside of her bedroom window at 2 a.m. He was also seen by other family members and neighbors hanging outside her home on different occasions.

What’s more, per the filing, “Underwood admitted to his roommate and his roommate’s girlfriend … that he goes on multiple walks a day to Ms. Randolph’s apartment building.” With that said, it’s not surprising that Randolph would be frightened enough to take legal action. Underwood however, was said to have initially downplayed the ordeal, with a source telling Us Weekly at the time, “This was all a surprise. He was completely blindsided.”
