Keeping him away from a regular paycheck is just her latest punishment
There was an interesting last-minute change to the cast of Dancing With The Stars that very few people know about. One of the cast members was supposed to be a male reality star who is no longer on television on a regular basis. His contract was this close to being signed. However, when his ex found out that he was going to be joining the cast… she started making calls to try to prevent him from being on the show! Why would she do that? To punish him!
