Former Dancing With the Stars<\/strong> pro Lindsay Arnold<\/strong> has spoken out after some fans criticized various aspects of the show’s Season 34 premiere.<\/p>\n Arnold began her video by saying that she’d seen a number of different videos of people trashing the show.<\/p>\n “Y\u2019all are mean. The amount of videos I\u2019ve seen [that are] literally trashing the pros, the troupe, the hosts and judges,\u201d Arnold, 31, said in a TikTok<\/a> uploaded on Sept. 18. “It\u2019s making me sick. I literally feel sick to my stomach. You understand that these are real people, right?”<\/p>\n “This isn\u2019t some made-up TV show, where they\u2019re playing characters. This is not Conrad, Belly and Jeremiah, where we can just comment on their decisions and their choices and their lives,” she continued, referring to the main characters on The Summer I Turned Pretty.<\/p>\n “These are real people, who are doing a job that literally none of you could do,” she continued. “That\u2019s what kills me, like ‘my hot take, I don\u2019t think they did this good enough.’ Let\u2019s see you do it. You couldn\u2019t.”<\/p>\n Arnold was on Dancing With the Stars for 10 seasons as a pro and won one Mirrorball Trophy over the course of her time on the show. Now, she supports her younger sister, Rylee Arnold, who is competing as a pro for her third full season.<\/p>\n Lindsay received a lot of positive feedback on her video. In fact, even some of the current DWTS pros commented on the post.<\/p>\n “This,” wrote Rylee Arnold.<\/p>\n “YES,” added Witney Carson.<\/p>\n “Yes!!! Mic drop linds!!!!” said Brandon Armstrong’s wife, Brylee Arnold.<\/p>\n The second episode of Dancing With the Stars Season 34 will air on Tuesday, Sept. 23 and two couples will be going home.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 19, 2025, where it first appeared in the Celebs<\/a> section.
