Anonymous Documentary Netflix

Underwood lost some trust from Bachelor Nation when his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Randolph, took out a restraining order against the former Bachelor last September. Now, that's coming back to haunt him with a petition to cancel Underwood's upcoming Netflix documentary.
A change.org petition asks Netflix to spike the documentary, with both the anonymous poster and commenters calling Underwood "abusive." And since its posting on Wednesday, the petition has nearly reached its goal of 10,000 signatures. At the time of publishing, it had only 140 to go.
"Colton is a former bachelor lead who stalked his final pick, Cassie Randolph," the petition reads. "He placed a tracker on her car, sent her and her friends anonymous threatening texts, and was even seen standing outside her window extremely late in the night, resulting in her brother attempting to de-escalate the situation."
It continues with allegations: "Cassie is a victim of Colton's abuse, and he does not deserve a platform in any way. Regardless of his sexuality, Colton should not be given a platform as a result of his abusive, manipulative, and dangerous behavior."
Randolph originally filed the restraining order against Underwood in September, though she dropped the order in November. Underwood issued a statement at the time, saying, "The two of us were able to reach a private agreement to address any of Cassie's concerns. I do not believe Cassie did anything wrong in filing for the restraining orders and also believe she acted in good faith," as reported by People.
"I don't know if I ever will get the chance to sit down and talk with her," Underwood said. "I would like to. I would like to say sorry for how things ended. And I messed up. I made a lot of bad choices.
"I made mistakes in the end of that relationship. And I ruined the good memories we had by my actions and what I did to hold on to being straight, because I didn't want to look myself in the mirror. So for that, I'm extremely, extremely sorry," he added.
Despite Underwood's public apologies, some in Bachelor Nation don't want to see Underwood move forward with the Netflix production. A TikTok below outlines other allegations that Underwood has used racist language, slammed his former Bachelor contestants and more in an attempt to point people toward the petition.
Bachelor Nation has been incredibly supportive of Underwood's sexuality. He's the first former Bachelor to come out as gay, making him an immediate historical figure in the franchise. Former contestants, and even estranged host Chris Harrison, posted odes to Underwood on social media Wednesday to congratulate him for living as his true self.

Netflix has released the three-episode documentary "American Nightmare" which focuses on the 2015 kidnapping of Denise Huskins from the Vallejo, California home she shared with her boyfriend, Aaron Quinn.
On March 23, 2015, Huskins was kidnapped by a masked intruder who tied up Quinn and drugged him, then took her. The Vallejo Police Department focused on Quinn as being responsible for the kidnapping. After 18 hours of interrogation, Quinn asks for a lawyer as he sees the conversation going nowhere.
The Vallejo Police came out to say the couple faked the whole incident. They said it was a hoax, a wild goose chase, and a waste of valuable police resources. They thought this case was a Gone, Girl situation and considered pressing criminal charges against Huskins.
Two lengthy anonymous emails were sent to the San Francisco Chronicle on March 26 and 28 in which the sender said the kidnapping was not a hoax, sought to clear Huskins' name, and expressed remorse. The author said it'd happen again unless they cleared her.
They found duct tape, zip ties, a laser attached to a toy gun, and blond hair on goggles. The windows were covered and a detective on the case felt something else had happened there. A stolen Mustang was found with GPS trips to Vallejo and Huntington Beach. The Alameda County Sheriff's Office detective started putting the case together with what they found at the South Lake Tahoe home.
Muller, a Harvard graduate and a former Marine, was an attorney who had been disbarred for reasons that included failing to return an unearned $1,250 fee to a client and failing to cooperate in a State Bar investigation.
A co-production between Denmark, Indonesia, Norway and the United Kingdom, it is presented by Final Cut for Real in Denmark and produced by Signe Byrge Srensen, with Werner Herzog, Errol Morris, Joram ten Brink and Andre Singer in executive producer roles. The film was conceived following Oppenheimer and Cynn's Indonesian documentary film The Globalisation Tapes (2003), which depicted survivors of the killings, who ideated The Act of Killing. They interviewed 40 people who were unexpectedly boastful about their actions, before taking an interest on Congo in 2005 due to his humanist quality. Filming occurred up to 2011 with an Indonesian team largely credited anonymous. Oppenheimer described the process as taking a psychological toll on their mental health. The film was edited by a team of four.
The Act of Killing premiered on 31 August 2012 at the Telluride Film Festival in the United States, which was followed by more festival and theatrical screenings up to 2014. The initial releases used a 120-minute cut, with the 2013 television airings trimming it further up to 95 minutes. Due to its positive reception, the 160-minute director's cut, previously only shown in Indonesia, was released for international audiences. The Indonesian release began on 1 November 2012 secretly, but public releases were later seen, and popularity spiked in the country too. It was later released for free online only for people in Indonesia. The film was widely acclaimed for its method in tackling the subject, blending surrealism with realism. It has entered lists of the best films by various critics, and has earned various accolades including a British Academy Film Award.
