DWTS Cheating Scandal - 'We've All Been Duped'
Woman’s Day Magazine NZ
|April 29 2019
Samuel Johnson has slammed the show for not donating more to charity.
-
He shared his heartache when his sister Connie was diagnosed with terminal cancer with Australia, putting his life on hold to cycle 15,995km across the country to raise millions for the cancer charity they set up together.
And Samuel Johnson, who first found fame on The Secret Life Of Us, only agreed to go on Ten’s Dancing With The Stars to raise even more money for their charity, Love Your Sister. But last week he broke ranks to urge fans to boycott voting on the finale, claiming that none of the money raised through the SMS voting system goes to charity.
Previously, when DWTS aired on Seven, a percentage of the phone votes went to the contestant’s chosen charity.
DON’T WASTE YOUR VOTE
“Being that SMS votes cost 55c and NONE of the proceeds go to charity, I’m asking that you forget voting for me and consider donating 55c to cancer research instead?,” Sam posted on the Love
Your Sister website. “I’ve even created a special 55c button! Unforch it’s not deductible, because it’s less than two bucks. I cannot work harder for your donation and appreciate your consideration regardless.”
