When Amber Rose competed on Dancing with the Stars, Julianne Hough offered up some criticism that many perceived as unkind. During a September 2016 performance, Rose wrapped her leg around her professional partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, after which Hough sniffed, "I actually feel a little uncomfortable."
The comment offended Rose. "It was a point in the dance where I had to lift my leg up and Maks dipped me and [Julianne] said, 'Oh, I'm uncomfortable,' and instantly I felt — I did feel body-shamed," Rose said on her Loveline With Amber Rose podcast (via E! News). "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 a**, my breasts made her uncomfortable."
Hough later 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." The next night, Hough offered a quasi-apology when she hugged Rose and said, "That is not who I am, and I'm sorry if that made you feel that way."
