Chaz Bono, who was eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday, on Wednesday accused judge Bruno Tonioli of insulting him about his weight.
"I got a lot of references from him about things that would indicate the fact that I'm overweight," the transgender activist, 42, said on "Good Morning America."
"I was called a basketball, a penguin, an Ewok, and I just didn't appreciate it. If you want to critique my dancing and give me some constructive advice . . . that would be great. But I don't really know how to be less penguish, and so I kind of took offense to that."
Meanwhile, also on "GMA" Wednesday, dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy said he had "nothing to apologize for" his harsh words directed at judge Len Goodman after Monday's show.
