KEY POINTS

  • "Bachelor" alum Cassie Randolph was granted a temporary restraining order against ex-boyfriend Colton Underwood 
  • Randolph claims in court documents that Underwood sent her "unsettling" text messages 
  • Underwood called her "a selfish person who isn’t ready to be loved"  and "shady" in text messages sent in June

“Bachelor” alum Colton Underwood's “unsettling” text messages to ex-girlfriend Cassie Randolph were revealed in court documents after her request for a restraining order was granted.

Randolph, 25, filed a restraining order against Underwood, 28, on Friday, Sept. 11, accusing the “Bachelorette” alum of “harassing and stalking” her since they broke up in April. Court documents obtained by Us Weekly revealed the text messages sent between her and Underwood “at all hours of the day,” in which he calls Randolph “a selfish person who isn’t ready to be loved” and “shady.”

He later apologized and told Randolph that he was just “lost.”

“It’s crazy to think we used to be in a position of love,” Underwood wrote to Randolph in the series of messages sent in June. “I ask myself all the time how someone who I loved and loved me could do the things they do and say the things they do.”

According to the documents, Underwood also sent messages to Randolph’s friends and used “alias phone numbers” to check on his ex-girlfriend.

“My heart hurts a lot right now and I miss my best friend, my lover and the one person I never expected to lose. I’ve grown so much with you so far and had a list of things I was looking forward to talking to you about over dinner tomorrow,” Underwood told Randolph.

“Anyways, I only want the best for you and all of these feelings Are coming from a place of love,” he added.

Randolph replied to Underwood saying she would always “really care” about him and that she hopes that there would come a time that they could be “cool with each other.”

A source earlier told People that Randolph, whom Underwood picked in “Bachelor” Season 23 last year, has no “ill will” toward her ex-boyfriend but hopes he would seek “help.”

“After the breakup, Cassie wanted to be friends, and she thought they were on good terms,” the insider said. “Then the text messages and the frightening behavior started. Cassie was just terrified about how he was acting.”

The temporary restraining order stated that Underwood must be at least 100 yards away from Randolph, her house in California, her workplace and car. Aside from sending her “unsettling” text messages, Randolph claimed her ex “repeatedly called her and placed a tracking device on her vehicle.”

The documents stated that Underwood was spotted several times outside of Randolph's home in Los Angeles. Her brother and his friends also saw Underwood by her window at 2 a.m.

Underwood allegedly also told his friends that he “goes on multiple walks a day to Ms. Randolph’s apartment building.”

Prior to Randolph’s request for a restraining order, she and Underwood were working on a reality TV project centering on their lives after their split.
