DWTS Stars Deliver Unseen Freestyle on Podcast

Even though Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas did not reach the Dancing with the Stars finale, they recently offered fans a special treat. Following their elimination, the pair appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast where they performed the freestyle routine they never got to showcase on the show. This impromptu performance was a direct response to fan requests for the un-danced routine.

The dancing partners also used their platform to discuss the significant online hate they encountered. Mark Ballas shared a disturbing direct message he received, illustrating the relentless and often abusive nature of comments made about contestants. He emphasized that while he signed up to entertain, the level of vitriol was unexpected and distressing.

Whitney Leavitt acknowledged becoming somewhat desensitized to online criticism due to past experiences. However, she admitted that witnessing her partner face such negativity for the first time was triggering. This experience led her to question the situation and even feel a sense of guilt, highlighting the emotional rollercoaster they navigated during the competition.
