Kind of solved it.
When created new text, and then tried to copy the style from the old text set using the Eyedropper Tool, the same thing happened.
But when created new text set and entered manually all formating settings of the text like the old one, then went to the old corrupted text and used the Eyedropper Tool to copy the style from the new text set created to the old corrupted text. The old text becomes good again and is able to outline it fine. Which saved me time retyping all text again.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out. I found a similar discussion on community thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/text-disappears-changes-color-when-outlined/td-p/10523579...
Hope it helps.
Regards,

I think the topic in the thread Ashutosh is referring to is a different case.
It appears that your type objects are just corrupt for some reason. You can see this by going to the Type menu > Show Hidden Characters or by just enterring the type objects with the text cursor and do a Select All command.

Ya. It doesn't act right at all which is strange.
Maybe I'll have to retype all text again.
Thanks alot

Retyping is probably the only reasonable solution in this case.
As far as I can see, there are a lot of zero-width spaces, but also other weird and somehow illogical things which cause the corruption.
