Summary
- Corey Feldman returned to DWTS for a reunion, enjoying time with cast and crew.

- Feldman clarified that outside commentary and rumors caused the drama, not the show's production.
Corey Feldman recently made a return to the Dancing With the Stars ballroom, participating in a cast reunion. He shared his enjoyment of reconnecting with fellow cast members and the crew, even dancing with his former partner Jenna Johnson again. Feldman's appearance followed his earlier descriptions of the show's backstage environment as "toxic" and filled with "drama and BS."
However, Feldman has since clarified his remarks, stating that his experience on DWTS has been overwhelmingly positive. He explained that the "toxic" elements he referred to were not related to the show's production or its participants but rather to external commentary and unfounded rumors from individuals no longer involved. He specifically mentioned that behind-the-scenes drama was not the issue, but rather outside noise.
Feldman expressed gratitude for the kindness, support, and respect shown to him by everyone associated with the show, from castmates to the production team. He looks forward to resuming rehearsals and continuing his journey on DWTS, highlighting the "DWTS family" as wonderful. The DWTS season 34 finale was scheduled to air on November 25, 2025.
