Julia Stiles proves Andy Cohen wrong on DWTS
17 Sep
Summary
- Julia Stiles received an 18/30 for her quickstep performance.
- Andy Cohen apologized to Stiles on his show for past comments.
- Stiles referenced her role in '10 Things I Hate About You'.
Julia Stiles has made a notable debut on Dancing With the Stars, silencing past criticism from radio host Andy Cohen. During the Season 35 premiere's second night, Stiles performed a quickstep with partner Ezra Sosa, earning a score of 18 out of 30. This performance placed her high on the female leaderboard, demonstrating a talent that contradicted Cohen's previous remarks.
Cohen, who had publicly questioned Stiles' dancing skills in 2025, addressed the situation on his show "Watch What Happens Live." He apologized directly to Stiles, admitting he was not in a position to judge dance abilities. He even shared a clip of his own less-than-stellar dancing.
Stiles acknowledged that Cohen's past comments were "imprinted in [her] brain." When asked for a message to Cohen, she deferred to judge Derek Hough's positive remarks. Sosa, her partner, humorously suggested Cohen should become a regular viewer of DWTS to witness her performances.
