Michael Bolton ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Wants Apology [VIDEO]



Michael Bolton on Dancing with the Stars

Michael Bolton is pissed at Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) judge  Bruno Tonioli for disrespecting him on the show and he wants an apology.

Michael Bolton, 57, and partner Chelsie Hightower danced the Jive to “You Ain’t Nothing But a Hound Dog” and Bruno called it the “worst Jive in 11 seasons.”

See Michael Bolton’s Dancing with the Stars JIVE performance here.

But Michael Bolton says he had fun with it and doesn’t feel that the Dancing with the Stars judges should take it to the level that Bruno did. He told Good Morning America: ”You heard the tone. Even Len [Goodman] stopped him and said, ‘That’s inappropriate,’ and I think he should apologize publically and be reprimanded for it.”

Bolton was especially embarrassed because his elderly mother had flown in to be in the Dancing witht he Stars audience only to see her son be mocked by the judge. “To me, [Bruno] let everybody down. My mom was there, she flew in. She’s 90 and I thought she was going to really enjoy it, and I just didn’t expect that level of disrespect from him.”

Do you think Dancing with the Stars judge Bruno was disrespectful to Michael Bolton or do you think Bolton deserved the harsh criticism for his DWTS performance?

    if you have such a thin skin then you shouldn’t go on the show. if you don’t like to be critiqued then don’t go on a dancing competition show. Now he’s just trying to stretch his 15 minutes a little further since he got eliminated by creating a feud.

    Michael Bolton was mocked in the movie Office Space and that’s how it should be. His songs are ok, but if this guy saw himself perform (anything) he’d know why so many people laugh at him. That dance on DWTS didn’t even look like dancing; he was hardly even moving. Bruno was not “disrespectful” at all. I think Michael Bolton should apologize to his partner for being such a lousy student.
