Former star of ABC's "The Bachelor" Colton Underwood came out as gay in an exclusive interview with Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America." "I've ran from myself for a long time. I've hated myself for a long time... and I'm gay. And I came to terms with that earlier this year and have been processing it. And the next step in all of this was sort of letting people know. I'm still nervous, but yeah... It's been a journey for sure." Underwood said it was the events of 2020 that made "people look at themselves in the mirror and figure out who they are and what they've been running from or what they've been putting off in their lives." Battling nerves, Underwood expressed that he was "emotional in, like such a good, happy, positive way," and "the happiest and healthiest" he has ever been. Underwood described the "dark and bad" moments before he felt comfortable admitting his truth and described his "wake up call" where he felt like he "would've rather died" than admit to being gay. "There was a moment in L.A. that I woke up and I didn't think I was gonna wake up. I didn't have the intentions of waking up. And I did." Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ?️‍??
