Bobby Bones has officially gotten his Dancing With The Stars Mirrorball Trophy back!
“Look what just came in the mail,” Bones wrote on Instagram on Thursday, Aug. 6, sharing a picture of himself sitting on a couch next to his trophy.
The return of Bones' trophy comes after the season 27 champion initially sent it back to ABC following drama with former host Tom Bergeron over comments Bergeron made about Bones' win during an exclusive interview with Parade. After the pair reconciled, Bones requested that his Mirrorball Trophy be returned to him.
"It'd be nice if I could get my Dancing With the Stars trophy back," Bones said to Us Weekly in an interview published in May. "I got my feelings hurt. I love Tom, and so, in a haste, I sent my trophy back to somewhere at ABC."
In the Parade interview, Bergeron was asked about the most shocking elimination he witnessed during his 28-season tenure on the show. However, he instead offered up Bones and his professional partner Sharna Burgess as the most shocking win.
The result was controversial at the time as Bones was considered one of the weaker dancers that season, and his win ultimately led to the implementation of the “Judge’s Save” from seasons 28-32.
“I try not to get my feelings hurt, especially about stuff like this, but this was hurtful,” Bones said in a November TikTok calling Bergeron out. “And not because of what was said, but really who said it.”
Bones then played a snippet of the comments, noting that he took issue with Bergeron flipping the question just to criticize him.
“It’s funny you’re asking about eliminations,” Bergeron told Parade. “The thing that shocked me most was a win. Bobby Bones.”
“Bobby Bones was the first time it was like, ‘Ouch,’” he continued. “No disrespect to Bobby. He would probably say the same thing.”
Bones continued, “What was I supposed to do on that show? I didn’t even want to be on the show. Like I had no intention of being on Dancing With The Stars. I was working on [American Idol] at the network and they asked me to go on the show to promote. Am I supposed to not show up and work hard? Am I supposed to not give it freaking everything that I have? Am I supposed to throw it and not win? Like it’s crazy the amount of hate I get even from people that I respect like Tom Bergeron.”
The radio personality then made a the shocking reveal that he returned his Mirrorball Trophy back to ABC.
“I sent the trophy back. They don’t want me to be apart of the show, obviously, so I don’t want to be somewhere that doesn’t want me to be there,” he said at the time. “I loved my time there, but I would say things like this…have just taken all the joy away from my time on the show, which is crazy because it was such a great, joyous time even though I was the only one in the whole crew that was dancing that had a full-time job at the same time.”
He concluded, “I’m out. Nobody wants me there anyway, so go where you’re celebrated not tolerated. But yeah, the Bergeron thing hurt a little bit I’m going to be honest with you.”
Shortly after Bones' TikTok went viral, Bergeron apologized to the DJ and posted a screenshot of his message to him via his Instagram Story.
“Bobby, it wasn’t my intention to hurt your feelings. My ‘ouch’ was based on my honest feeling that your win spoke to a need to address the balance between judge and viewer voting,” he wrote. “I always felt bad that you & Sharna had to deal with the aftermath of that win & I certainly regret pouring any salt into that old wound.”
Dancing with the Stars airs returns on Sept. 15. on ABC and Disney+ and streams next day on Hulu.
