He literally just meant “keep my wife’s name out your mouth.” This is such a stretch 🙄

Well, I think it was important taste based on the fact that Alfonso is from Fresh Prince and Tatiana is also from Fresh Prince and dedicating her dance to uncle Phil and to portray Fresh Prince in such a negative way was in bad taste. I don’t know what his problem is this year, but Val has lost a lot of coolness and charm.

genuinely, he shouldn’t be apologizing when cai was judging jenna harshly when she herself has stated that a lift was legal in a no lift dance when it’s made by troupe and not the celebrity’s partner. she either takes accountability for her own judging or she doesn’t. simple as that.

Why does everyone expect apologies nowadays??? Apologizing was stupid but ppl expecting him to apologize is more stupid.
