Bobby Bones says he returned his Dancing With the Stars mirrorball trophy after being slighted by the show’s former host, Tom Bergeron.

Bones, 45, revealed the news to his TikTok followers on Wednesday, November 12, saying he was hurt by comments that Bergeron, 70, made to Parade earlier this week. The ABC dance competition’s ex-emcee told the outlet that he felt “shocked” by Bones’ 2018 victory and said it “was the the first time it was like, ‘Ouch.’”

The day after the outlet published the story, Bones aired his vulnerable reaction on social media.

“I try not to get my feelings hurt, especially about stuff like this, but this was hurtful,” Bones said Wednesday. “And not because of what was said, but really who said it.”
