Heavy shares that Peta took to Instagram after the performance to clearly express her feelings.

“This was a tough, rough night and, you know, I didn’t know what was going to happen and you guys just banded together for the love of Barry because he is amazing. We all love him dearly, especially me,” the mother of two shared in her Instagram story.

She went on to say that fans likely did notice her look of disappointment onscreen. According to Peta, she saw Barry nail the lift so many times so she felt disappointed they didn’t land it during the actual performance. Fortunately, the pair did make it to week five. They’re doing the Paso doble on Tuesday and are working hard.

“Trust me, guys, no one loves Barry more than I do, okay?” Peta finished the Instagram story.

Some Redditors think the dancer was more to blame here

On Dancing With The Stars, the pro dancers choreograph their routines. While many viewers empathized with Peta, others think she set herself up to fail by having Barry lift her.

“PETA, stop having Barry lift you!” one Redditor said online. “The man is almost 70 years old and has already showed you it’s dangerous!! Take a point deduction if you need to for no lift, you are going to hurt him.”

Plenty of other Redditors echoed similar sentiments and agreed the lift wasn’t a good idea in the first place.
