Bones, whose real title is Bobby Estell, said Wednesday that he relinquished the coveted Mirrorball trophy over the fixed insults and accused critics of taking “all of the joy” from his time on the hit competitors show.
“I sent the trophy back. They don’t want me to be a part of the show obviously so I don’t want to be somewhere that doesn’t want me to be there. I sent the trophy back to ABC. I no longer have the Mirrorball trophy. I loved my time there,” Bones said in a TikTok video.
Bobby Bones reveals off the Mirrorball trophy he gained after successful Season 27 of “Dancing with the Stars” in 2018.

Bergeron said Bones’ win was the most stunning second he skilled during his time on the show from 2005 to 2020, because the radio host wasn’t supposed to win.
“It’s funny you’re asking about eliminations,” Bergeron told Parade. “The thing that shocked me most was a win. Bobby Bones.”
“It’s like Andy Richter this season,” he said. “He’s charming and has such a big heart. Do I think he’s going to win? No. Do I think he’s bringing a quality to the show that epitomizes what the show is? Absolutely. But Bobby Bones was the first time it was like, ‘Ouch.’ No disrespect to Bobby. He would probably say the same thing.”
Bones revealed he was damage by Bergeron’s feedback.
“I try not to get my feelings hurt, especially about stuff like this, but this was hurtful. Not because of what was said, but who said it,” he said.

“It’s crazy, the amount of hate I get. Even from people I respect, like Tom Bergeron. And Julianne Hough, which I don’t know her. But I feel like a sixth grader and all the ninth-grade dancing kids are shoving me in lockers,” Bones said.
Bones revealed he didn’t intend to be on “DWTS” but joined the solid because he had a contract with ABC and they requested him to compete to promote his own show.
“They asked me to go on the show to promote. Am I supposed to not show up and work hard? Am I supposed to give it freaking everything that I have? Am I supposed to throw it and not win?” he requested his followers.
“Like was I supposed to show up and go, ‘Well, since I didn’t have any training as a kid, I should just not win this competition.’ What did I do? I had a great attitude. I worked hard and here we are, six years later I’m still catching strays out of nowhere,” he said.

“Bobby, it wasn’t my intention to hurt your feelings,” he despatched in a message to Bones. “My ‘ouch’ was based on my honest feeling that your win spoke to a need to address the balance between judge and viewer voting.
