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.'

'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.'

Come on, Chaz, man up about it... oh, wait...
Bottom line. I am thrilled that this he/she/it whatever was voted off the show. Now everyone can get back to normal.
Bullying him? Is she talking about herself?
So in the photo, which one is Chaz, is Chaz now a boy, or a girl? They both look like full tubs of lard.
Finally! I wonder when the ratings will go up if the producers get the hint...
Man that thing is enough to pucker the butt cheeks.
his?
Its a she. She might have been molested from 11 years old to Mom’s delight, but its still and always will be a she.
Basketball, EWOK lololololololol. Such a girl, geez. Please I can think of more problems than her weight, lol.
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.
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.
how big of a money grubbing wretch do you have to be to claim to be this disgusting fat tub of guts Girlfriend???
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.
Those that speak the truth are often shunned...you did good..
He\she is almost as ugly as Cher. I’m almost glad Sonny didn’t live to have to endure all this idiocy.
