Bobby Bones is coming to John Stamos’ defense after the actor made some arguably controversial comments about the hit reality competition show Dancing With the Stars.
“Hey everybody, it’s Bobby,” Bones, real name Bobby Estell, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, July 11. “Quick reminder before the internet sprains something. Before anyone comes after Uncle Jesse… have mercy!!! John Stamos was clearly kidding in our Dancing with the Stars chat on my show ‘the BobbyCast.’ That was playful banter, not shade.”
Bones, 46, continued, “If you’re reacting to a headline and not the actual conversation, that’s like reviewing a movie after watching the trailer. I love John. The vibe was laughs, not insults. Watch the full thing, then we’ll talk. It’s on Netflix or podcast audio.”
Stamos, 62, made headlines while appearing on the Tuesday, July 7, episode of “The Bobbycast” podcast, when he claimed he’s been asked to participate on “every single season” of Dancing With the Stars to no avail.
“I said, ‘Don’t ever ask me again,” the actor continued at the time. “I’m never gonna do that show.” Bobby, for the uninitiated, famously won season 27 of the hit ABC ballroom dance competition. After Stamos’ claim, Bones suggested that Stamos reconsider his position, adding that it’s likely the actor will “learn so much” about himself as a result of appearing on the show.
“I just never … What makes that show good is people suffering and looking like fools,” Stamos replied, steadfast in his apparent position. “They’re breaking their feet, calluses … I don’t want that.”
Stamos’ recent comments are not the first time the Full House star has shut down any inkling that he would appear on the hit reality TV series.
“I’m not doing Dancing With the Stars,” he wrote via X, then Twitter, in 2010. “Flattered to be asked. I’m not a dancer.”
Of course, who should — and should not — appear on Dancing With the Stars has always been a hot internet debate topic. Even the dancing pros who appear alongside their celebrity counterparts on the show have shared who they think should be asked to compete for the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
Dancing With the Stars winner Bobby Bones is defending his title after Julianne Hough called him “not the best dancer.” Hough, 36, a cohost and former dance pro on the show, shared her true feelings about Bones, 44, during the Sunday, August 18, edition of What What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. When a viewer asked whether there’s ever […]
“Less politicians,” Val Chmerkovskiy exclusively told Us Weekly back in April of who he would like to see the show cast — or not cast — on the show. “One of the things I admire about our show, I love being a part of the fact that in a world quite literally designed to split us all apart and create agony amongst people, we’re a show that creates union and brings people together. Yes, it’s just a dance show, but it’s way more than just a dance show.”
Chmerkovskiy added at the time, “Dance is just a vehicle to bring people together — of all ages, all political sides. No one knows who’s voting for who, and we’re all just enjoying ourselves and enjoying two hours a week of just good family fun.”
Dancing With the Stars has invited plenty of controversial political figures to compete over the years, including former Texas Governor Rick Perry, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and former White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
