Bobby Bones returned his DWTS trophy, saying Tom Bergeron’s comments about his win caused emotional pain.
Bobby Bones has returned his 2018 Dancing With the Stars Mirror Ball Trophy, citing emotional distress after former host Tom Bergeron called his win the most shocking of his tenure during a 20th-anniversary interview.
Bones said Bergeron’s comments, made without prompting, felt dismissive and hurtful, especially coming from someone he respected.
He also cited ongoing criticism from other DWTS figures and his own physical struggles as reasons for stepping away, stating he no longer felt welcome on the show.
Bergeron later apologized, explaining his remarks were about voting dynamics, not diminishing Bones’ achievement.
Bones acknowledged the apology but said the experience had tarnished his memories of the win.
