Witney Carson recently had big news to share with fans: she is going to have a baby. Around this time, however, she has also recently hit the stage as Dancing with the Stars returns for a new season. Since then, she has been surrounded by rumors claiming she wants to leave the show and even wants to be eliminated. Carson herself has since broken her silence on the matter in a recent share.
Witney Carson Recently Teamed Up With Guillermo Rodriguez On Dancing With The Stars For Season 35
Carson is a professional dancer who first rose to fame on the ninth season of So You Think You Can Dance. Following this, she joined Dancing with the Stars.
Initially serving as a troupe dancer, Carson later became a pro on the show in 2014. She later won the nineteenth and thirty-fourth seasons.
For Season 35, Carson was partnered with Jimmy Kimmel Live! sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez. However, some big news ended up making history on the show during this season. She was four months pregnant when she announced her return. This made her the first professional dancer to enter an installment of the series while pregnant and the first to compete that far in her second trimester.
Due to her condition, Carson has been the subject of rumors claiming that she wants to see her partner eliminated so that she could step away from the show. Recently, she addressed these rumors in a recent TikTok share.
Carson noted that she doesn’t usually discuss “rumors going around, or opinions, speculation, whatever you want to call it.” In particular, she addressed fans citing her facial expressions on the show as proof that she wants to leave.
While Ultimately Thanking Her More Concerned Fans, Carson Revealed There Are A Few Reasons Why She Might Look Upset On The Show
Carson expressed, “Every week, Guillermo and I have been put in ‘the bottom three,’ which doesn’t necessarily mean all those couples have the lowest votes.” However, she felt that there is a reason to still worry, as it means “that you don’t get to celebrate that you’re safe. You only get to hear who’s going home.”
The dancer also expressed that, during these moments, she has another reason to make an unhappy face. She is also “genuinely sad for the people going home.” She added, “My first initial reaction is sad for whoever is going home, and then, obviously, we celebrate—but they don’t really show that bit. So, yes, I am very happy that we’re continuing on.”
Ultimately, Carson also wanted to speak to fans who think she should leave because of her pregnancy. She explained, “Thanks to everyone who’s concerned about my health and the baby’s health while dancing—dancing I’ve done for a very long time. I know how far to push my body and the baby’s health has always been my number one priority. I have no reserves when it comes to speaking up about physically overdoing it, which I do not feel that way at all and the show is more than willing to help out in any capacity.” That said, she made sure to thank her fans who were coming from a place of concern.
