A dramatic clash unfolded on "Dancing With the Stars" as guest judge Cheryl Burke faced backlash from Ashley Dupré, Alix Earle's stepmom, after giving Earle a lower score than other judges. Dupré's comment, telling Burke to "go take more Ozempic," was labeled as body shaming.
In a powerful response, Burke condemned the remarks, highlighting the importance of respect and dignity in the competitive environment of the show.
The incident sparked further discussions on body image and the impact of public scrutiny, particularly regarding personal appearance among contestants and judges.
Meanwhile, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, a former DWTS pro, stirred controversy by harshly critiquing Jan Ravnik's qualifications as a new pro dancer, claiming he has "no business" on the show.
Chmerkovskiy later attempted to smooth over the situation by publicly apologizing to Ravnik, acknowledging the fallout from his earlier comments.
These unfolding narratives encapsulate the intense emotions and high stakes that define life on the dance floor, exposing the pressures contestants face under public and personal scrutiny.
