The panel, which included Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough, challenged Lawson to give more emotion in her dances with partner Artem Chigvintsev. Lawson knew from being on reality TV to expect criticism from people online, but she didn’t think the DWTS viewers would refer to her as “conceited,” “entitled” or the “biggest bitch on the cast.”
