Amber Rose and Julianne Hough resolve body shaming dispute

Last week, model, actress and Dancing With The Stars contestant Amber Rose said a comment by judge Julianne Hough left her feeling “body shamed.”

Rose explained on her Loveline podcast how she felt after listening to Hough's comments during her dance.

“Last night was like, they did the commentary ... 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 instantly I felt, I did feel body shamed,” Rose said. “Me, and my body, my hips, my ass, my breasts made her uncomfortable.”

However, the dispute was resolved on Monday night’s episode of DWTS, when Hough and Rose openly discussed what they described as a "misunderstanding."

“The thing that I love so much about dance is that dance is a universal platform for people to express themselves. Any person," Hough said to Rose after her performance. "Whether that is age or height, body shape, ethnicity, sexual orientation. It is something that people can express themselves to do. And for me, I am a huge supporter of that and that alone. As a judge on this show, I am here to solely judge you and everyone else in this competition for only the dancing.”

“I felt you weren’t talking about my dance,“ Rose responded. “If I misunderstood, I apologize. I’m a very positive person. I don’t like to argue or bicker or make things weird.”

Loud clapping from the crowd drowned out the rest of the pair’s conversation, but later that night, Rose took to Twitter to clarify that Hough had apologized to her.

Rosebuds! @juliannehough did apologize to me for the way her comment came off. The crowd was clapping loud at the time #GirlPower ❤️

The 32-year-old mother of two has been vocal in the past about opposing body shaming, saying you don’t need a fit bikini body to exude sexuality.

In 2015 the Amber Rose foundation, which uses the slogan “all things ‘women empowerment’,” hosted the Amber Rose SlutWalk, a national feminist march that began in 2011. The SlutWalk is aimed at empowering women and decreasing the stigma of women’s sexuality. On Oct. 1, Rose hosted the 2016 SlutWalk Festival in Los Angeles.
