The reality star said Julianne Hough’s comments following her dance singled her out because of her curvaceous body shape.
Speaking on her E! show, Loveline, following the incident, Amber said:
“Last night was like, they did the commentary, and I, it was a point in the dance where I had to lift my leg up and Maks [Chmerkovskiy] dipped me & [Julianne] said, ‘Oh, I’m uncomfortable,’ and instantly I felt, I did feel body shamed,” she said.
She continued: “You know, all the beautiful professional dancers that are on Dancing With the Stars, I mean they dress very sexy and they do the splits and they grind up on these guys and they look absolutely stunning and get a standing ovation.“

“And me, and my body, my hips, my ass, my breasts made her uncomfortable.”
However, Julianne Hough was quick to defend her comments, blaming them on ‘editing’.
She told E! News: “To be clear, that was a produced package, not live coverage and they can put those sound bites anywhere.”

"My ‘uncomfortable’ comment was about the fact that I felt like I wanted more out of the performance – when someone is doing a hot, sexy dance like that without the right amount of energy that is required, it can be uncomfortable to watch. ”
“Trust me I’m ALL for a sexy booty dance, we all know that! And any kind of body shaming goes against everything I believe in.”
