Chaz Bono blasts 'disrespectful' Dancing with the Stars judges for bullying him over his weight
UK Daily Mail Online ^ | 27th October 2011 | Amelia Proud

Chaz Bono braved controversy to be the first transgender contestant on Dancing with the Stars, but he revealed in an interview today that it was jibes over his weight that troubled him the most.

But it wasn't from ignorant, faceless haters that the 42-year-old faced these attacks, but rather from the show's judges, whom Bono has blasted as 'disrespectful.'

The only child of Cher, 65 , and the late Sonny Bono, told Good Morning America: 'I was called a basketball, a penguin, an Ewok, and I just didn't appreciate it.'

-snip-

'I took so much away from this. This was an amazing journey that really pushed me and showed me I could do so much more than I thought I could,' he said.

When co-host Tom Bergeron asked if he had any regrets, Cher's son said he hadn't.

'I wanted to show America a different kind of man. If there was somebody like me on TV when I was growing up, my whole life would've been different.'

OK, look. I can't help it. Everything about this article makes my skin crawl. The photos of her pathetic 15-year-old's beard... The constant use of male pronouns like "he" and "his"... But the one that really made me dry heave was the term "Cher's son." Cher's SON? Are you *%$#@*&! kidding me?! I watched this little girl on TV back in the 70's. Has everyone lost their damn minds? Or have I?

Bottom line. I am thrilled that this he/she/it whatever was voted off the show. Now everyone can get back to normal.

So in the photo, which one is Chaz, is Chaz now a boy, or a girl? They both look like full tubs of lard.

She’s a narcissist. That shouldn’t be to unexpected considering she was raised in the psychotic world of Hollywood.

Oh I think the ratings will go up now that the gore is off the show. I just hope they learned their lesson. First they never should have had this disease on the show. However, I can understand why they couldn’t just say no to it after they signed it up. The show had no choice but to have it play out.

First of all....She (Chastity) can't dance and should have been the first to be eliminated.

Just another screwed up hollywood perv using the "bullying" card.

She is sooo screwed up....and someone shares in the guilt.

Chastity asked for this with the pre-dance interviews....

Go to hell and stay out of our lives.

“Him?” “Him?” Even my co-worker calls Chaz “him,” and I yelled at my co-worker, “She is not a he! X Chromosomes say otherwise!”

I’ve been banished from the break room.

Chaz was called everything except what she is. A girl.

Basketballs, penguins, and Ewoks all have far thicker skin.

The victim card -- all too predictable.

Until you can change human genes, Chaz is not a he, and never can be. It is what It is.

She is not a he. Chastity had her breasts removed and takes male hormones. She has admitted being hesitant to having the full monty done.

Accepting “Chaz” as a man may be polite, but it is a polite fantasy.

He\she is almost as ugly as Cher. I’m almost glad Sonny didn’t live to have to endure all this idiocy.
