Michael Rapaport Thinks ‘Traitors’ Controversy Will Help NYC Mayor Campaign

During a disagreement with former Bachelor contestant Clayton Echard, 29, actor Michael Rapaport, 55, made a comment about Echard keeping secrets, which many people interpreted as a reference to his sexuality and his past reluctance to publicly come out as gay. Rapaport later said he didn’t intend any offense and was “just talking,” but the comment led to him being voted off the reality show in Season 4, Episode 5. This happened shortly after he announced his plans to run for mayor in 2029 against Zohran Mamdani.
