Danielle Fishel sparked rumors of a feud based on her reaction after Lauren Jauregui’s shocking elimination on Dancing With the Stars, and now, the Boy Meets World star is publicly sharing her thoughts on the ouster.

Jauregui and her pro partner, Brandon Armstrong, were the ones revealed to have surprisingly been cut from the ABC competition after week 3, with the audience in the ballroom visibly shocked by the news, as well as the rest of the cast.

Fans at home were also gutted by the news, with many saying it made them “throw up” after they heard it.

Fishel, who had been saved earlier in the evening, was notably upset as well in the final moments of the broadcast.

Now, she is weighing in on the elimination officially and sharing her thoughts.

Talking to her on her Danielle with the Stars podcast, she revealed she has been sad about the “nerve-wracking” experience, and genuinely was upset that Jauregui was the one cut.

“I really love Lauren. I love watching her perform…Her face is just a work of art, and she’s expressive and graceful and fun,” she said.

“She’s all of those things as a person too,” she added. “I’ve really enjoyed the moments we’ve passed each other in the halls and been able to give each other a hug and been rooting for each other.”

She also reflected on how important viewer votes truly were, saying that as she racked her brain to figure out the results, the only thing that made sense to her was that somehow the Fifth Harmony singer didn’t have enough support.

“It’s not even like she’s been in the bottom score-wise, so it just really goes to show you how important votes are,” she said. “The only thing I can figure is that somehow she didn’t have enough votes. Shocking. Truly a shocking night.”

The commentary comes as Fishel was seemingly caught in the closing moments of the episode scolding former contestant Whitney Leavitt.

In the now-viral clip, the Secret Lives of Mormon Lives star was seen smiling and going towards Fishel to seemingly hug her and celebrate that they had made it through to the next week.

However, Fishel was caught seemingly snapping at her for focusing on the wrong thing at the wrong time and rolling her eyes before turning back to the eliminated pair.

 

Leavitt was seen quickly changing the look on her face and stepping back after the apparent dressing down.

The moment sparked rumors from fans of a feud, as they praised the Boy Meets World star for how she handled the moment.
