‘DWTS’ Duo Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas Reveal Hate Mail
Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas have recently opened up about the hate mail they received during their time on “Dancing With The Stars.” The duo, who were not the most popular pair on the show, shared some of the nasty messages they received from online trolls.
In a candid interview with Alex Cooper on her “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Whitney and Mark discussed the backlash they faced during season 34 of the show. Whitney, who is known for her role on “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” was labeled as the villain by many fans of the show, leading to a wave of hate directed towards her and Mark.
The hate they received online took a toll on both Whitney and Mark, with Whitney admitting that it was the hardest part of her experience on the show. Mark even shared a particularly vicious message he received, where someone told him, “You’re completely worthless and I hope you burn in hell one day.”
But the hate mail was just the beginning of the criticism they faced. Some viewers accused the judges of favoring them, while others claimed Whitney seemed to smirk when another pair was eliminated. Additionally, there were complaints about Mark being allowed to play his own guitar riffs during their performances.
Despite not making it to the finals, Whitney and Mark faced a lot of scrutiny throughout their time on “Dancing With The Stars.” The couple is now speaking out about their experience and the impact that the hate mail had on them. It’s a reminder that even in the world of reality TV, the pressure and criticism can take a toll on the contestants.
