Hannah Brown is proud that Colton Underwood is now embracing his truth as a gay man, though she understands a lot of the criticism hes faced, too.

The former Bachelorette appeared on SiriusXMs The Michelle Collins Show this week, touching on among other things Underwoods return to television in Coming Out Colton . The six-episode Netflix docuseries probes the onetime Bachelors journey to living authentically after coming out in an emotional Good Morning America appearance last spring.

Prior to The Bachelor ette, Brown was among the 30 contestants vying for Underwoods heart on Season 23 of The Bachelor in 2019. In her interview with Collins, she said shed watched Coming Out Colton.

Brown acknowledged it was a weird experience at first, given her romantic history with the shows subject. By the series end, however, she was impressed.

I think I like him better as a gay man, Brown said. Even though its obvious that hes still almost, like, uncomfortable with this new life because he has never allowed himself to be who he is ... it is cool to kind of just watch him try to be his most authentic self for the first time.
