Week after week, viewers saw Bristol Palin put in the work and make it through nine weeks of eliminations, beating out contestants with higher scores . . .  but instead of applause and cheers, her time on Dancing with the Stars generated controversy!

The reality star, businesswoman, and mom joins Cheryl to talk about her headline-making run on DWTS, including the biggest misconceptions about her, first impressions of Mark Ballas, experiencing true bullying for the first time while on the show, the death threats, the passive-aggressive behavior she encountered, and the tea on the awkwardness between her and Brandy.

Plus, Bristol opens up about dealing with weight fluctuations during her time on the show and how all the talk about her body affected her self-esteem, coming back for All-Stars, what she's up to now, and how she's coping with her teen son Tripp moving back to Alaska!
