*“Bachelorette” Charity Lawson, who finished fourth on Season 32 of “Dancing with the Stars” alongside Artem Chigvintsev, recently made surprising claims about her experience on the show.
During an episode of Cheryl Burke’s Sex, Lies and Spray Tans podcast on July 29, Lawson expressed her surprise that the reality dance competition did not have a therapist available on set, Decider reports.
“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 in that show,” she revealed.
When Cheryl Burke mentioned the “bullying” that Charity Lawson faced on the show, calling it “shocking,” Lawson, a therapist, questioned this characterization, responding, “Is it shocking? I don’t know if it’s shocking.”
Lawson said her DWTS experience was “almost to the point where it was so much worse than Bachelor and Bachelorette.”

“I was getting death threats for existing,” she claimed, “for not performing enough, for being conceited, for being entitled, for being the biggest bitch on the cast. It’s crazy.”
Lawson explained on the podcast that she was constantly at the center of racial hatred from viewers and online trolls.
“The difference that I have to go through this life as a Black woman and being on a reality TV show. It’s like the same things are just not protected,” she shared.
Lawson called it “a really dark place” to be in.
Meanwhile, Lawson and Dotun Olubeko, who got engaged at the end of her season on “The Bachelorette,” plan to wed in 2025.
