Hough did not remain oblivious to the negative attention the videos of her body generated but remained firm in her decision to continue uploading them, reassuring viewers that she was simply showing her most authentic self.

“I was very self-accepting growing up, then something switched in middle school,” Hough confessed toRedbook Magazinein 2017. “I would compare myself to everyone and later I did a film where I basically was told I was fat every day, yet I was the skinniest I’d ever been.”

The host explained how she developed her attitude as a coping mechanism to deal with the pressures of being a celebrity, defaulting to acting “completely crazy or goofy” in an attempt to recapture the freedom she felt as a kid “before all of that happened.”

“Somebody, please help her. Next she’ll be twirling like Britney.  She has a career and gets a lot of attention already.  What is happening to her?” asked one concerned viewer.

“You’d think someone as attractive as her would already be getting enough attention from men. There’s no need for this,” another pointed out.

“Why is she so desperate for attention lately? Did something terrible happen in her personal life?” a viewer asked.

“It’s time to set up an Only Fans,” another wrote.

On the other hand, her followers jumped to her defense, stating that as a dancer, her body is what she uses to communicate and work, and that the criticism is being blown out of proportion.

“So many women are putting down another woman for her choice of displaying her body on social media! Leave Julianne Hough alone!”

“What happened to her?” wrote one viewer, as others joined in to share their thoughts on the dancer’s videos
