During the latest episode of her "Old-ish" podcast, she called out one contestant and the reasons why he shouldn’t be on "Dancing with the Stars."

"The man has been charged with child abuse of his four-year-old son in the way that he punishes him and that is just devastating for me."
In 2018, the ex-Vikings player said in an interview with the Bleacher Report that he still uses a belt to discipline his son, despite having served a one-year suspension in the NFL for child abuse charges.
"I had to discipline my son and spank him the other day with a belt," Peterson reportedly said.
