Julianne Hough had Dancing With the Stars fans in a frenzy after a move she made in the ballroom during the Tuesday, November 4, episode.
Hough, 37, posed for a photo with members of the 2025 World Series champions Dodgers, which many deemed “inappropriate.”
“Put me in coach!” she captioned a photo of herself lying across the laps of Will Smith, Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, and manager Dave Roberts. “West Coast, you’re up next #DWTS #GoDodgers”
While all the men smiled for the photo, some followers even noted that they looked “uncomfortable.”
“Crazy thing to do with a group of married men lol,” one DWTS fan commented on Julianne’s post.
“This is totally inappropriate!!” another wrote.
“Very Very Inappropriate. You should apologize to these men. Just cause you’re not married doesn’t mean you can be inappropriate with married men. This is embarrassing,” a third chimed in.
“Kinda cringe,” yet another added. “I’m sorry but that’s so inappropriate.”
“That’s why Ohtani doesn’t go to any of this crap,” another fan laughed.
It wasn’t all negative for Hough, however. Some fans pointed out her boldness and noted their jealousy.
“Lucky gal,” one wrote.
“So obsessed w this choice of pose HAHAHAH,” another added.
