‘DWTS’ Fans Spot Awkward Moment Between Danielle Fishel & Whitney Leavitt After Shocking Elimination
Warning: This story contains spoilers for the Nov. 4 episode of Dancing With the Stars.
Carrie Ann Inaba didn’t mean to upset a contestant.
The Dancing With the Stars judge apologized to Danielle Fishel for making a comment about her “tiny” body on Halloween Night while praising her and pro partner Pasha Pashkov‘s performance on this week’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame episode.
Before stepping into the ballroom on Nov. 4, Danielle shared that Carrie’s criticism had stuck with her following her Oct. 28 routine on the ABC competition series, when The Talk host told her, “You have to use the space because you are a tiny little woman.”
“I am a tiny little woman,” the Boy Meets World alum reflected in a confessional, “but she’s big on the inside—more powerful—so I need to unleash her more often.”
And Danielle acknowledged that showing how much bigger she can take her movements would be no easy feat, quipping, “It doesn’t come naturally to be flailing my 5-foot-1 body around the floor.”
