Mr. T recently guested in "Good Morning America" and claims it was wrong to say that he and his partner from "Dancing With the Stars" were booted off from the show.
Last Tuesday, "Dancing With the Stars" pair Mr. T and Kym Herjavec appeared on "Good Morning America" to discuss their recent elimination from the dancing show. However, Mr. T found it offensive that the segment writer of the morning talk show described their exit from the contest as being "booted off."
On the show, Mr. T told co-anchor Michael Strahan, "I want to talk to the writer. When you introduced us, you said Kym and Mr. T got 'booted off' and I resented that," Chicago Tribune confirmed.
"We didn't get booted off, we gradually eased off. Nobody going to boot Mr. T off. As a competitor, we left it on the dance floor, like you're supposed to. We walked off with grace and style," Mr. T explained.
Mr. T and Herjavec were eliminated after their performance of the waltz to "Amazing Grace" last Monday. Although their performance was given high praise because of how emotional it was and how it was inspired by his battle with cancer, Mr. T and Herjavec were voted off the show.
Previously, Mr. T said that he would shave off his trademark mohawk if he won "Dancing With the Stars." When Strahan handed Mr. T a razor to shave off his hair, Mr. T responded with, "But I didn't win. If you let me get to that guy who put 'booted' up there (on the screen), I'll cut my hair off."
Mr. T and partner Herjavec placed tenth and last in Monday's "Dancing With the Stars," leaving nine pairs to compete for the crown.
"Dancing With the Stars" airs every Monday night at 7 p.m. EDT on ABC.
