14 DAY TRIAL // The latest results show on Dancing With the Stars saw Chaz Bono get the boot. The elimination has not been eventless, as both Chaz and his mother Cher have been telling the media ever since that the judges were very disrespectful, biased and unfair.
The same happened on a recent appearance on Anderson Cooper's show, X17 Online informs.
Bono was on the show to talk about doing the physically demanding DWTS, his future projects and, of course, to state whether he felt he'd been treated unjustly.
At one point, Cher too called in to speak her mind and, more importantly, to defend her Twitter outburst of earlier this week – by putting the judges on blast once more.
“I just thought they [the judges] were rude and it was gratuitous rudeness. I was just [expletive]-ed off. I was really upset. Not that Chaz was voted off but that they were so disrespectful,” she says.
This is also what she maintained on her Twitter page, shortly after Chaz was eliminated, as we also informed you at the time.
Cher said that, while she was ok with the elimination, she didn't care for the way the judges critiqued his dancing – or didn't critique it, better said, but only made mentions of his weight, comparing him to all sorts of animals.
Chaz believes his being a transgender also had a lot to do with the fact that he was treated this way. A combination of factors – weight and gender – got the judges to demean him every show, which, in turn, got the public to stop voting for him and eventually sent him home.
However, voices online point out, in saying so, Chaz chooses to completely ignore the fact that he couldn't dance: he lasted 6 weeks on the show and there was zero improvement in his dancing.
It was this that got viewers to stop voting for him and not the fact that judges (“bully” Bruno Tonioli in particular) kept making remarks about his weight.
