While preparing ready for the program on Wednesday, October 16, Julianne Hough, the co-host of Dancing with the Stars, shocked her fans by sharing a racy striptease on social media. She is well-known for her toned figure and blunt criticism.
The judge, who frequently posts films of herself undressing, provoked discussion among her fans. Some expressed support for her videos, while others expressed annoyance at what they saw as attention-seeking conduct.
One visitor said, “You must be a very insecure woman.” This is starting to seem embarrassing. You don’t have to constantly flash your undergarments on us.
Another said, “I love that you keep posting your videos despite so many hateful comments!”
Julianne Hough sparked debate among her followers by performing a striptease routine down to her underwear while preparing for episode 5 of Dancing with the Stars
The dancer was made to justify her uploads last month after she posted a video of herself in a sauna wearing a blue LED anti-aging mask and seeming incredibly thin with her ribcage clearly evident beneath her skin.
Once again, the post caused division among her following. Some called the video “bizarre,” citing the host’s suggestive hip thrusts while donning the odd-looking mask.
Hough retorted, “I’m going to say a few things about this video but I don’t usually address comments like this.” “From the inside out, I’ve never been happier or healthier.”
Hough responded to criticism of her behavior, calling it “erratic” and “attention-seeking,” by stating that the purpose of the films is to release bad feelings and is not meant to be sexual in any way.
“Loss and grief. Our bodies store sadness and fear, which we retain in different ways. Over the years, I’ve made it a top priority to accept, understand, express, and let go of a lot of feelings,” she wrote at the time.
Her most recent “striptease” video demonstrates this humorous side as she transforms from a black dress and red latex boots with high heels into a sophisticated olive-colored gala gown. At one point, the dancer takes off her bra, showing off her nude back to the crowd before tossing it over her head.
Hough has been a mainstay on Dancing with the Stars since 2007, returning to host season 33 of the show alongside Alfonso Ribeiro
In the fourth season of the renowned dance competition series back in 2007, Julianne Hough made her debut as a professional dancer. The 18-year-old won over both the judges and the crowd with his performance, and he continued to be a mainstay of the play for the majority of its run.
She has been a judge for over five seasons, having served as a guest and a permanent panelist. She gained popularity as a judge because of her candid, occasionally caustic, criticism when rating contestants.
“I promise to always tell the truth,” she stated in an interview. “It’s all about helping whoever the dancer is to be better for next week; it’s not because I want to be harsh.”
Alongside actor and comedian Alfonso Ribeiro, who gained notoriety for playing Carlton Banks on NBC’s The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and for his memorable appearance on season 19 of Dancing with the Stars, where he repeated a dance move made popular by his sitcom character, Hough returns to the show as a host for season 33.
The dancer defended her choice to showcase her body, explaining that she feels safe and happy in her own skin
Hough acknowledged the unfavorable attention that the films of her body attracted, but she persisted in posting them, telling fans that she was only being true to herself.
She said, “My silly side is a reflection of how secure I feel in my own skin.” The dancer said, “I read somewhere that kids who are the weirdest and most playful versions of themselves are the safest to do so.”
Although the majority of her audience found solace in her justification, some steadfastly maintained their conviction that the dancer’s persistent efforts to display her body in underwear alluded to a more serious problem with body image.
In 2017, Hough acknowledged to Redbook Magazine, “I was very self-accepting growing up, then something switched in middle school.” “I used to judge myself against everyone, and after doing a film, I was told daily that I was fat even though I was the thinnest I’d ever been.”
The host described how she became accustomed to being “completely crazy or goofy” as a coping method to deal with the demands of being a celebrity. This allowed her to try to relive the freedom she had as a child, “before all of that happened.”
While most of the comments on her social media are from delighted fans, some neutral netizens expressed concern about the constant videos of the dancer “flaunting” her body
“Someone, please assist her. She’ll be spinning like Britney in no time. She already enjoys a lot of attention and has a career. What is going on with her? enquired a worried viewer.
One would assume that a woman with her attractiveness would already be receiving enough attention from guys. This is unnecessary, another person said.
Why has she been being so clingy to others lately? A spectator questioned, “Did something horrible happen in her personal life?”
Someone else said, “It’s time to set up an Only Fans.”
However, her supporters rushed to her defense, claiming that the criticism is exaggerated and that, as a dancer, her body is what she utilizes to express and work.
“So many females are disparaging other females.”
“What happened to her?” wrote one viewer, as others joined in to share their thoughts on the dancer’s videos
