Marie Osmond is riding high after beating the competition on “Dancing with the Stars” last night, and the courageous star says she has no regrets about sharing her family drama – which included a public fall, her father’s death and her son’s decision to enter rehab – with the world.
“It gave me an opportunity to express my love for my son, who I totally believe in,” she told “Extra” after the show. Last week, 16-year-old Michael decided to seek treatment.
She added, “He's a remarkable young man and I couldn't be more proud to be his mother.”
In nine weeks, Marie has endured plenty of twists and turns on the dance floor.
With her divorce being finalized, a health scare and the tragic loss of her dad, “Dancing” has been the best distraction in the worst of times.
“It's a healthy distraction because you have to put everything aside,” she said. “It releases your endorphins and it feels good.”
“Extra” found out backstage with judge Carrie Ann Inaba that there’s a good chance Marie’s positive attitude and rousing dancing numbers could win her the title.
“Marie Osmond has got the audience voting for her,” said Carrie Ann. “She's a legend in her own time.”
But someone else may have an edge.
“Actually, I think Helio [Castroneves] is the frontrunner,” she admitted.

I just would like to say Marie Osmond and Jonathan Roberts are the best couple to entertained fans all over the world. I think they both did an excellent job performing those amazing routines as well as being on the finals these couple of weeks so far. They have been working so hard to developed each of these dances from the endless hours of rehearsals until 1 or 2 a.m. in the morning and managed to get it done so very quickly onto the dance floor on Monday night’s show come on now people. This remarkable diva is not just an entertainer but a single mom with eight kids whom struggles a difficult month but her family and fans kept her dancing to be voted and that’s takes a lot of courage for Marie Osmond to become our favorite sweet heart to achieved her only goal and make it come true as well ! Marie should deserve to be recognized by everything that she has already accomplished and succeed . Also becoming as our role model for future generation who wants to do what she always does have fun on what you’ve been doing and no stopping at anytime !
