‘DWTS’: Shangela Calls Out Alfonso Ribeiro During Disney+ Night

Gleb Savchenko, Shangela, and Jennifer Hudson from The Jennifer Hudson Show

Shangela and her partner Gleb Savchenko have a lot to be proud of after Disney+ Night. They scored a 32 out of 40 for their Charleston to “Dig A Little Deeper” from The Princess and the Frog. On top of that, fans really enjoyed watching Shangela get a chance to perform to a song from one of her favorite Disney movies.

But when Shangela and Gleb got to the skybox to receive their scores, she definitely had some words for show host Alfonso Ribeiro. The drag performer had no problem calling out the actor on live television. What exactly did she have to say?

Shangela stops the DWTS host from calling her the wrong name

After each performance on DWTS, the contestants go up to the skybox where Alfonso Ribeiro interviews them. And in case you missed it, Alfonso has been calling Shangela “Angela” for the past several weeks. The drag performer definitely had enough — even if she did point it out in jest.

During the Disney+ Night episode, Shangela was ready when she got to the skybox. She cracked a joke at Alfonso’s expense before he even had a chance to say anything.

“The real question: Did you learn my name?” Shangela asked. She was laughing as she said it, but fans could also tell that she meant business. Alfonso waited for a beat, clearly tongue-tied.

“Listen, I wanted to say, the last couple of weeks, I did actually say your name a couple of times wrong. I did say ‘Angela,’ which is my wife’s name, so it was a term of endearment. You know what I’m saying?” the 51-year-old actor nervously replied.

“You know I love you baby,” Shangela joked back. “And you are my Alfondo.”

As long as Alfonso remembers to call Shangela the right name, it seems like everything will be fine from here on out. She event made an Instagram post about the situation and confirmed everything was fine.
