Amber Rose felt ‘body shamed’ by Julianne
Amber Rose felt "body shamed" by Julianne Hough on ‘Dancing with the Stars’.
The 32-year-old model says she was upset when the blonde judge commented on her salsa as she felt she was being mean about her weight.
Amber – who has lost around 10lbs since being partnered with Maksim Chmerkovskiy – said on her podcast show ‘Loveline’: "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.
"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. And me, and my body, my hips, my ass, my breasts made her uncomfortable."
However, Julianne – who has previously won the show – insists that couldn’t be further from the truth.
She told ‘E! News’: "To be clear, that was a produced package, not live coverage and they can put those sound bites anywhere. My ‘uncomfortable’ comment was about the fact that I felt like I wanted more out of the performance – when someone is doing a hot, sexy dance like that without the right amount of energy that is required, it can be uncomfortable to watch.
"Trust me I’m ALL for a sexy booty dance!! We all know that!! And any kind of body shaming goes against everything I believe in."
