Michael Rapaport is considering skipping the The Traitors season 4 reunion. There's the Colton Underwood situation, sure, but another heated exchange also has Rapaport, 55, second-guessing whether or not to go.
The actor and podcaster opened up about his hesitation on the By Order of the Faithfuls podcast, revealing lingering tension tied to his early decision to banish Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams from the game.
Rapaport was part of the group that voted Williams, 44, out early in the season. After the show, he said he reached out privately, sending her a direct message in an effort to smooth things over, but never heard back.
That silence, he admitted, has him uneasy heading into a reunion environment he's been repeatedly warned about.
"Housewives at reunions—that's when the claws come out," podcast hosts Tamra Judge and Dolores Catania warned. "That's when they air grievances."
What bothers Rapaport most is the possibility that Williams' frustration could be personal. He emphasized that his decision had everything to do with gameplay and nothing to do with her Housewives persona.
"I never criticized her as a housewife," he said, adding that he believes any issue stems strictly from the game, though the lack of response still irks him.
Catania, 55, and Judge, 58, have even advised Rapaport to arrive bearing a peace offering, insisting he attend after he teased skipping it altogether.
"Do I go to the reunion and be totally myself?" he asked. "If someone is insulting, do I respond? I could be totally sweet and nice…"
Ultimately, those close to him urged him to show up and face whatever comes.
"If you don't go, it looks like you're running from what was said," he recalled being told. "The biggest no-no in the reality world is not showing up."
Fans couldn't agree more. "That's REALLY lame of him," said one Reddit user in a thread about Rapaport potentially not attending. "He needs to be able to take the heat since he wants to act like a big shot. Not very New York of him at all."
For now, Rapaport hasn't confirmed his reunion plans. But if there's one thing reality TV fans know, it's that avoiding the reunion rarely makes drama disappear—it usually just makes it louder.
New episodes of The Traitors stream Thursdays on Peacock.
