Lindsay Arnold is defending her Dancing With the Stars family.
The former pro on the reality competition series sounded off on critics of DWTS in her “hot take” of its Sept. 16 season 34 premiere.
“Y’all are mean,” Lindsay said in a TikTok video shared Sept. 18. “The amount of videos I’ve seen literally trashing the pros, the troupe, the hosts and judges. It’s making me sick. I literally feel sick to my stomach. You understand that these are real people, right?”
“This isn’t some made-up TV show, where they’re playing characters,” she went on, referring to the show The Summer I Turned Pretty, she added, “This is not Conrad, Belly and Jeremiah, where we can just comment on their decisions and their choices and their lives.”
The 31-year-old, who participated in 10 seasons of DWTS and won season 25 with Jordan Fisher, went on to encourage people on social media to make better use of their time.
“If you have time in your day to make videos, spread hate or leave comments and actively seek out trashing people,” she said, “then you’re obviously not working hard enough on yourself. Maybe you need to rethink what’s most important in your life.”
