Amber Rose is calling out “Dancing with the Stars” judge Julianne Hough for body shaming her during a performance with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
“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 I instantly, I felt, I did feel body shamed,” Rose, 32, revealed on her “Loveline with Amber Rose” podcast on the Play,it network after the Monday night show.
The mom of one continued: “You know, all the beautiful professional dancers that are on “Dancing with the Stars,” I mean they dress very sexy and they do splits and they grind up on these guys and they look absolutely stunning and they get a standing ovation. And for me, and my body, my hips, my ass, my breasts, made her uncomfortable.”
But the “Footlose” star has denied the dis explaining to E! News that the comment was taken out of context.
“To be clear, that was a produced package, not live coverage and they can put those sound bites anywhere,” Hough said.
“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 what!!” she continued. “And any kind of body shaming goes against everything I believe in.”
Rose has spoken out defending women who have been judged by their sexual behavior and inaugurated an annual SlutWalk in Los Angeles.
This year’s event will be held Saturday, October 1.
The former stripper was the subject of slut shaming by ex-Kanye West who boasted last year: “It’s very hard for a woman to want to be with someone that’s with Amber Rose…I had to take 30 showers before I got with Kim.”
