Wow – the Dancing with the Stars drama is off the charts this week.
Last night Maksim Chermkovskiy let loose on Judge Len Goodman (you can read the whole story here) but today it’s music icon Cher who’s taking aim at another judge: Bruno Tonioli.
Cher was less-than-impressed with Bruno’s comments about her son’s performance last night and she wasted no time telling everyone exactly what she thinks. Cher took to Twitter this morning and have THIS to say about the incident:
“That guy has no room 2 (to) talk “Little penguins”… I find it disrespectful that Bruno refers to Chaz as a “little penguin”…
“Is it Dwts or Looking Perfect Wts (what the s**t)? Its easy 4 (for) him 2 (to) take cheap shots at chaz! Let him come 2 (to) “my” stage.
“I could teach his little arm waving a** some manners! Critique Chaz’s dance style, movements etc, but don’t make fun of my child on nat.tv (national television).
“It’s not about Chaz winning! He’s doing his best & he will stay as long as he stays! Thats “show business” but, dont b (be) unkind 4 (for) no reason.
“Mean is not funny… Bruno’s reason, pure selfishness! His only concern was 2b (to be his) usual funny animated self, AT CHAZ’S EXPENSE!”
The judges cannot catch a break this week!
Do you think Bruno was out of line in his comments towards Chaz last night?
Check out the clip of the incident below (Bruno starts his rant at the 4:45 mark):
Update: Check out the second video below where Chaz’s partner Lacey Schwimmer says that the judges dislike Chaz and are centering him out.
So. much. drama.







I agree with Cher. Bruno was way out of line. I couldn’t believe he would even say that. However, if I remember correctly Bruno had refered to Chaz as a pennguin during one of the first shows and I didn’t like it then either.
e wok, penquin, butter ball every week he calls him some kind of animal. Just not right and Max and Chaz are right!!
This was not the first time Bruno was unkind to Chaz, the other week, Bruno said Chaz looked like a bouncing ball.
Bruno keeps getting away with being such a a$$ to the ones he does not care for. He was just as mean when Michael Bolten was on. All three judges need to remember these people are not professional dancer. Another thing it is so obivous how they have there favorite and the scores and comment prove it. (Brooke, Jennifer Gray, Rickie Lakes etc) I am so proud of Maks and Lacey for standing up for what they believe in. GREAT JOB! and I hope Chaz will always stand up for who he is.
Bruno you also need to leave the show or get off your high horse. I have no respect for what comes out of your mouth anymore. Keep this kind of judging on and you will find out people will watch something else………………………
the black and white bird comment was enough for me that is such a low blow to anyone .. how would he like it if the judge whatever his name is was called woodpecker his wood would be all black and blue just like his comment he should not be a judge on any show lets get him out of the judge pecker that he is .. go chaz
