Contestant Amber Rose publicly apologized to Dancing With the Stars judge Julianne Hough on Monday’s show for accusing Hough of “Body-shaming” her.
On last week’s show, Rose and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy performed a sexy salsa to Jennifer Lopez’s “Booty,” and during a particular move, Hough commented she felt “Uncomfortable.”
Rose took offense and talked about it on her podcast Loveline with Amber Rose the next day.
After her performance this Monday, Rose addressed the drama during the live show.
Hough applauded Rose and further clarified the commentary.
“I would like to say one thing also. The thing that I love so much about dance is that dance is a universal platform for people to express themselves – any person. Whether that is age or height, body shape, ethnicity, sexual orientation. It is something that people can express themselves to do. And for me, I am a huge supporter of that and that alone. As a judge on this show, I am to solely judge you and everyone else in this competition for only the dancing. So I want you to know that.”
Backstage, Rose spoke to reporters and said, “Last week was really hard for me. When she said that I was just like, ‘How did my salsa make you that uncomfortable?’ But she said that it wasn’t like that and it was just pertaining to my dance and I believe her.”
