Fans Do Not Want to See Olivia Jade on ‘Dancing With the Stars’
If replies on social media are to be believed, some fans are upset that they’ll be seeing some of the above celebrities in the ballroom. Specifically, the animosity is there for Olivia Jade, who is the daughter of actress Lori Loughlin, who went to prison following a college admissions scandal that put Olivia Jade in the public eye in a negative sense.
Olivia Jade is set to be paired off with Val Chmerkovskiy.
One person on a Reddit thread about the casting wrote, “Ugh, her casting is so gross. I really like Val but I can’t see how they can successfully do a poor little rich girl story with her.”
One whole thread is dedicated to people who are upset about the casting. The thread, titled “I was right and I’m pissed off about it,” has multiple replies about Olivia Jade’s casting.
One reply, however, reads, “I mean, if this is as ‘controversial’ as it gets, I can deal with Olivia Jade lmao.”
Plenty of replies in the thread say they hope the pair is voted off early.
Some Fans Are Upset About Celebrities With Dancing Experience
When it comes to “Dancing With the Stars,” many fans prefer that the celebrities not have dance backgrounds in order to level the playing field. Obviously, when it comes to Siwa, her history on “Dance Moms” means that is not the case.
In replies to the tweet announcing Siwa on the show, some fans expressed their concerns.
“So someone who rose to fame on a dance show is going to compete against people who have never danced before,” one person replied.
Another wrote, “How is this fair? She is already a professional dancer….”
The entire cast will be revealed and confirmed on September 8, 2021 on “Good Morning America.”
