Julianne Hough had a message for the critics who commented on her recent bikini video saying she needed to “eat a cheeseburger,” saying she is the healthiest she’s ever been.
Julianne Hough is not dancing along with the haters.
The Dancing With the Stars host held nothing back when responding to commenters who were critical of her latest bikini-clad video.
In the Sept. 29 Instagram video, Julianne could be seen enjoying a spa day while sporting a snake-print bikini, going back and forth between a sauna, red light therapy mask, cold plunge and trampoline—all while displaying her “silly” nature.
But social media users were quick to voice their opinions in the comments, with one fan writing, “I’m concerned. Are you ok?” Another added, “She needs to eat some milkshakes and cheeseburgers.”
Julianne felt she needed to respond to the comments, sharing a video of herself indulging in a burger to Instagram Stories Sept. 30 and writing, “For those telling me to eat a cheeseburger…This was on Sept 17th the premiere date of DWTS!”
And the 36-year-old had more to say in the post’s Instagram comments, adding, “I don’t usually address comments like this but I’m going to say a few things about this video.”
According to Julianne, her spa-day routine was a recommendation from a friend that “promotes lymphatic drainage,” and her bikini was the “best outfit for these activities.”
As for how her body looks, the Everything We Never Knew author noted that it “has never been healthier.”
“I was full of inflammation in my 20’s and had a marker for an auto immune that I addressed and committed to over a year and a half ago,” she explained. “I’ve frozen my eggs over the last few years which also shifts the body fluctuation. I’ve never been healthier or happier from the inside out.”
Julianna also noted that her “playful goofy side” in the video was a “reflection of how safe I feel in my own skin and with the people around me.”
“For those of you genuinely concerned because this is unusual for you to see,” she continued, “I understand that what you don’t understand feels unfamiliar and sometimes scary. I’m going to continue feeling safe within myself regardless of the outpouring of your comments, and have fun with life which can be really heavy and challenging.”
And while she may have faced some negativity, Julianne also found herself flooded with comments from those who appreciated her lighter side.
“Why when a woman is happy, confident and comfortable with herself,” a fan wrote, “do people get concerned and judge harshly?”
Another added, “I cannot believe these comments. What is wrong with people? Very disappointing, I’m sorry Julianne.”
