Meghan McCain Has Turned down This Lucrative Opportunity ‘Three Times’ Due to Upcoming Political Plans
John McCain’s daughter, Meghan McCain, is known for numerous things, such as her books and as a co-host to the shows TakePart Live, Outnumbered, and The View. However, don’t expect to see her on any reality shows, because Meghan is allegedly gearing up for more political plans.
During the Sept 4. episode of her Citizen McCain podcast, she said that she’s turned down a plot on Dancing with the Stars numerous times, despite the big paycheck.
“I just don’t want to publicly humiliate myself,” she said. “I’m a terrible dancer and I don’t do reality TV. The amount of reality TV I’ve been asked to do would blow your mind. I’m always like, what about my personality says I’d be good on these kind of platforms? I’m pretty shy in person. I’d be awful.”
She also talked about how her pal Clay Aiken even told her how much he made during his time on The Masked Singer, and it was hefty, which made her a bit conflicted about turning down a reality TV spot.
“I’m not going to say how much [it pays] because I don’t have his permission, but he did The Masked Singer, and The Masked Singer, everybody should want to get on The Masked Singer,” and saying how she “wouldn’t have to work for a year.”
So, why did she turn it all down? She allegedly has political dreams. She hasn’t held any official positions but has been very vocal about gay rights, being pro-life, and birth control, to name a few. However, she may want to hold a position at some point.
“I do not do reality TV, because there’s still a tiny little window in my life that I want to run for office at some point, and you can’t do both. You just can’t. It’s just not serious,” she said. “Come to me if I’m starving in the street and I’ve had some financial issues, but, I’m fine.”
Other public figures to turn down DWTS numerous times were Tori Spelling (who allegedly said no until this year), Demi Moore, Tiffani Thiessen, Lindsay Lohan, and more, per Best Life Online.
