straight, white, male privilege at its finest, folks!

Is this some sort of record?

Of course.

The backlash ABC will get will make them terminate his contract.

Well we know who the first one out will be

A kii, a cackle

you cannot be serious.

white men ugh

I feel like this was his plan to begin with, do something stupid to gain more fame and notoriety.

He did say his ambition was to be the next Kim K

Dancing with the Stars is like Celebrity Big Brother. They love controversy.

This will backfire. I think he'll end up withdrawing due to the backlash.

anything to boost the number of viewers I guess.

I thought that said "Lorde"

He'll be an amazing dancer, and win the heart of America. He has white privileges he'll be fine.

My thoughts exactly.

i love him he is daddy
