Dancing with the stars Champion Witney Carson found herself surrounded by controversy on social media just days after taking the disco ball home, but she quickly distanced herself from the situation.
The 32-year-old choreographer took to Instagram and shared a post featuring her text conversation with her husband, Carson McAllister, in which they made fun of her. DWTS contestant, Dylan Efron and his famous brother, Zac Efron.
The post, in which the husband and wife mocked Dylan for urging his brother to “get votes” for the finale, quickly caught fire.
Social media users criticized DWTS pro for belittling the other contestant while other contestants were also joined by their families.
However, some comments came to his defense, writing that it was funny and not “sleazy.”
Regardless, the social media post quickly disappeared from Witney’s account and only screenshots of her text exchange remained.
The original text Carson sent to Witney said, “Zac Efron is here,” to which she replied, “I saw! They’re trying to get votes.”
She continued, “I would bet everything I have that the only reason Zac never went to see Dylan (until last week) is to avoid this specific situation: not being credited for the work and progress he’s made this season and people saying he’s only evolved. [because] of Zac.”
