Amber Rose has revealed that she felt "body shamed" by Dancing with the Stars judge Julianne Hough after her and pro partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy's salsa performance earlier this week.
The 32-year-old model's admission came during her weekly Loveline with Amber Rose podcast.
“Last night was like, they did the commentary, and I, it was a point in the dance where I had to lift my leg up and Maks dipped me & [Julianne] said, ‘Oh, I’m uncomfortable,’ and instantly I felt, I did feel body shamed,” Rose admitted.
“You know, all the beautiful professional dancers that are on Dancing With the Stars, I mean they dress very sexy and they do the splits and they grind up on these guys and they look absolutely stunning and get a standing ovation,” she continued. “And me, and my body, my hips, my ass, my breasts made her uncomfortable.”
Chmerkovskiy had his partner's back and said, “I think a bit more constructive criticism from the judges would have been helpful. It made me so upset to see how sad Amber was after the judges’ comments … The bottom line is the song says ‘booty, booty, booty’ about 70% of the song, so there’s no way we weren’t going to work that into the dance!”
Hough has since responded and told E! News that she was not "body shaming" anyone and that her comments were part of an edited package, which means they could have been added in anywhere making the exact context unclear.
“Trust me I’m ALL for a sexy booty dance," the two-time DWTS champ said. "We all know that!! And any kind of body shaming goes against everything I believe in.”
