Whitney Leavitt may have danced her way into the next round of “Dancing With the Stars,” but her celebratory energy didn’t land well with everyone on set. Fans caught what looked like Danielle Fishel brushing her off during Tuesday night’s “TikTok Night” elimination episode — and social media had a field day.
Danielle Fishel Wasn’t Having It
After Lauren Jauregui and Brandon Armstrong were eliminated in a shocking twist, the ballroom mood was heavy. Contestants and pros circled around the pair, visibly upset.
Whitney, however, was all smiles and bouncing with excitement that she survived another week. She even tried to get Danielle to join in on her celebrations — but the “Boy Meets World” star wasn’t having it.
On camera, Danielle appeared to wave Whitney away, and Whitney’s face instantly shifted from gleeful to spooked.
Viewers quickly noticed. “You can clearly see Danielle tell her it’s not the time and Whitney goes back to pretending to feel bad 😂 #dwts,” one fan tweeted.
Another added, “Danielle Fishel putting Whitney Leavitt in her place after Whitney tries to celebrate making it to another week 😂😂.”
“Can’t get over how pissed Danielle looks after briefly talking to Whitney. She’s like read the room girl!” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, Lauren, still stunned by her elimination, offered one word to describe how she felt: “pissed.” The sting was even sharper given that she and Brandon had just danced to Fifth Harmony’s “Work From Home” in front of her bandmates Normani, Dinah Jane, and Ally Brooke, plus choreographer Sean Bankhead.
For Whitney, the awkward moment is yet another lesson in reality-TV etiquette: sometimes, you really do need to read the room. She’ll be back alongside Danielle next week for “Disney Week.”
