Peacock just announced the cast of Season 4 of The Traitors, and so far, the response has not been great. You expect a random mix of celebrities for this show, but some fans think the show took things a step in the wrong direction by adding Michael Rapaport to the cast. If Peacock’s goal was to get people talking, it definitely worked.
Michael Rapaport’s Trump support is among reasons The Traitors Season 4 cast is being side-eyed
Michael was one of 23 stars confirmed for Season 4 of The Traitors. If history repeats itself, there might be one or two late additions to the game as well. Either way, social media immediately lit up with reactions to seeing Michael in the lineup, and it’s not because of his terrible acting skills. It’s because of his extensive history of using racist language and sharing far-right talking points on his social media.
“Amazing Traitors cast sans Michael Rapaport. He’s a piece of sh*t and it’s extremely annoying that Bravo and Peacock keep giving him a platform,” wrote one Traitors fan.
Another said, “Peacock and NBC continuing to platform Michael Rapaport as he spews bigoted hateful ideology is so dangerous. I desperately need him to be the first murder #TheTraitorsUS.”
Scroll through Twitter/X for as long as you want, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone thrilled about having this man on the beloved, Emmy-winning show. Plenty of Traitors fans, however, are hoping to see him get kicked out of the castle sooner rather than later.
“Traitor or not, banish Michael Rapaport first,” one person quipped.
Although most fans are bashing Peacock for including Michael, it’s worth highlighting that there are some positive elements to this cast. They’ve got five Real Housewives in the cast, including the return of Dorinda Medley. There’s also a wealth of LGBTQ representation, with Monet X Change, Kristen Kish, and Johnny Weir in the lineup. Let’s hold out hope that it’s enough to erase the stain.
The Traitors Season 4 comes to Peacock in 2026.
