Dancing With The Stars viewers were surprised during this week’s episode when hostess Julianne Hough made bizarre comments to contestant Charity Lawson.

The Bachelorette star made it through to the semifinals and is hard at work in the rehearsal room at the moment. But after Charity gave her performance during Tuesday night’s episode, fans thought Julianne Hough was totally out of line.

What exactly did Julianne say to set off fans?

Julianne Hough outrages fans with her ‘petty’ comments

Dancing With The Stars Season 32 only has two weeks left in the competition. Right now, the final five couples are really starting to feel the heat.

Everyone gave their best performance during Taylor Swift Night. Judges praised Bachelor Nation’s Charity Lawson for her crisp lines. Carrie Ann Inaba even went as far as to say she had the best lines of anyone left in the competition. She and her partner Artem Chigvintsev scored a 38/40 for their Argentine tango to “Look What You Made Me Do.”

But once they got to the skybox to receive their scores, things got a little uncomfortable.

“So, last week you were in the middle of the leaderboard, how does that feel coming in?” Julianne asked The Bachelorette star. “You know, it’s elimination coming up. Are you ready to go home?”

Fortunately, Charity took the snide comment in stride and replied respectfully. Fans were impressed with her response.

“Um, let’s not talk about that. I’ve enjoyed my time and I think we all are, like, everyone here, like, it’s just one big family,” Charity replied, clearly taken aback by her word choice. “I’m so grateful and humble to be enjoying this experience.”

DWTS viewers call out the show hostess online

Dancing With The Stars fans routinely take to social media to air their grievances. And of course, they didn’t hold back here.

It’s insanely hard to like [Julianne Hough] after last night’s episode with her petty and uncalled for comments for Charity because they were so unexpected,” someone shared on Reddit. “At the moment, I currently would rather watch Tyra be strutting around the ballroom again. At least she was nice even though she was dramatic too. 🤦‍♀️”

“But like ‘are you ready to go home?’ Cmon girlie pop you can do better than that,” another Redditor poked fun at the hostess’s weird comment.

Overall, DWTS fans made it clear they didn’t appreciate Julianne Hough’s comments, even if she was probably joking. It’s not immediately clear if Julianne will return next season as hostess. But if she does, viewers hope she reigns in her sense of humor.

  1. I did not take Julianne;s comment to Charity as bad. She just asked IF she was ready to go home IF she didn’t make it, which we all know would be a NO from Charity as she clearly thinks she is “all that in a hand basket” anyway with her own remarks about not liking her scores and in practice her telling Artem To JUST LET HER DO IT AGAIN, that she is not satisfied with it. And also wearing the same outfit as in previous ChaCha dance routine so we don’t see she really isn’t doing much hip action just swirling the fringe on pants to look as if she really has got the moves. What a joke!!! She, for me, is to cocky, and needs to be brought down a notch.

    1. I totally agree with your comment about Charity bring everything. she is only about the cameras. she usually has shorter dances than most of the others . she only wants eyes on her . and the way she spoke to Artem was uncalled for . he is the pro and she is far from it
