Charity Lawson, a former contestant on Season 32 of "Dancing With the Stars," recently shared her candid experiences on Cheryl Burke's "Sex, Lies and Spray Tans" podcast. Revealing the challenges she faced during her time on the reality competition show, Lawson expressed how her mental health was significantly impacted, even to the point of receiving death threats. Despite her fourth-place finish on the show with partner Artem Chigvintsev, Lawson detailed the bullying and criticism she encountered from viewers, leading her to seek support and protection from the show's executives.

Lawson, known from her appearances on "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette," had anticipated a more favorable reception from the "Dancing With the Stars" audience, only to be met with severe backlash. The experiences of bullying and derogatory comments targeted towards her on social media, including on the show's official account, took a toll on her mental well-being. The former Bachelorette shared how the negative feedback pushed her to a dark place, causing her to block and filter comments on her personal page, while the show's platform remained inundated with hurtful remarks.

The reality TV star, who is a Black woman, underscored the additional challenges she faced due to her race and the lack of protection in such environments. Lawson emphasized the importance of shedding light on the disparities and unfair treatment faced by Black individuals on reality TV shows. Throughout the podcast episode, she reflected on the distressing impact these circumstances had on her, recounting moments where she wished for an early elimination from the competition just to find relief from the overwhelming pressure.

Additionally, Lawson highlighted how the editing and presentation of video packages on the show may have contributed to misconceptions about her persona. She clarified that her comments about scores and performances were responses to producers' inquiries, not indications of arrogance or superiority. The skewed portrayal within the show's narrative led to misinterpretations among viewers, generating false perceptions about her intentions and character.
