Charity Lawson is opening up about her time as a contestant last year on “Dancing with the Stars.”
The former “Bachelorette,” who got her start coming in fourth place on Season 27 of “The Bachelor” with Zach Shallcross, recently spoke about her time on the dance competition series in a conversation on the “Sex, Lies and Spray Tans” podcast.
A child and family therapist, Lawson told podcast host and former “DWTS” pro Cheryl Burke that she was surprised the show didn’t have an on-set therapist.
“Honestly I’m very surprised because quite literally, while ‘Dancing with the Stars’ was great, I literally went through hell and back with my mental health on that show,” Lawson said.
She pushed back a bit when Burke said she found it “shocking” that Lawson had suffered from online bullying during her time competing with dance pro Artem Chigvintsev. The two ended the season in fourth place.
“Is it shocking? I don’t know if it’s shocking,” Lawson said on the podcast. “I think to a certain degree it was expected.”
