Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars is serving up a higher level of competition than anyone expected. The cast is stacked with reality stars, actors, and an Olympian. During TikTok night, the ballroom was stunned by a shocking elimination. And it appears that moment led to some tension between actress Danielle Fishel and reality star Whitney Leavitt.
Danielle has been dancing with Pasha Pashkov. She has also been dancing with an injury. She “snapped a tendon” in her right leg while practicing. Ouch! However, Danielle is powering through the discomfort and impressed the DWTS judges with her TikTok foxtrot.
Did Danielle Fishel put Whitney Leavitt in her place on Dancing with the Stars?
Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui and her partner, Brandon Armstrong, got the ballroom boot. While she was at the bottom of the leaderboard, along with comedian Andy Richter and his DWTS pro, Emma Slater, Lauren didn’t deserve to be there. She deserved a higher score, and her previous performances were great.
Page Six reported that Whitney, who stars in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, may have offended Danielle. In the closing moments of the show, the contestants and pros surrounded Lauren and Brandon to comfort them. While everyone else appeared upset, ABC cameras captured Whitney jumping and smiling. However, when she tried to get Danielle to participate in her joyful celebration, fans thought that Danielle quickly dismissed Whitney. In fact, Whitney’s smile faded, and she looked dismayed by the Boy Meets World star’s reaction.
Of course, social media users weighed in on the possible tension. “Danielle Fishel putting Whitney Leavitt in her place after Whitney tries to celebrate making it to another week,” a fan posted on social media. “Can’t get over how pissed Danielle looks after briefly talking to Whitney,” another user posted. “She’s like read the room girl!”
Meanwhile, when asked how she felt about her DWTS elimination, Lauren answered, “Pissed.” That’s my girl!
Dancing with the Stars airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC and Disney+. It will stream on Hulu the next day.
