ABC is giving Chaz Bono some extra security on and off of the set of Dancing With The Stars, because they feel that there are crazy people out there who are holding a grudge against him.
According to sources close to the show, there haven’t been any threats to Chaz’s safety directly, but the show’s executives know that there are people out there who hate the idea of Chaz being on the show and they want to protect him from that.
As a result, we’re told Chaz will get security while he’s on the CBS Television City lot — where the show is filmed — and off the premises as well.
This isn’t the first time DWTS has had to deal with security issues. The show provided security for Bristol Palin after an anthrax scare last year.
Do you think this is just a publicity stunt by the network to gain more attention and viewers? Or are they right for offering Chaz some extra protection from the loonies? Let us know what you think in the comments!
