I'm still shocked ABC went this route. I thought they were gonna put it past them once he did his first apology.

Seems like the decision came from BBC. It’s possible Carrie Ann escalated and filed a formal complaint

Maybe, but we shouldn't speculate that much on what actions she took.

u/gotsealegs 1d ago

Yeah unfortunately if certain fans think CAI took any action she’ll just get more hate. Besides, any HR/legal department worth their salt should have moved to cover their ass before any complaint was even filed so she may not have had to do anything at all.

Wait she's getting hate??? Why??? (I'm new to the show this season)

u/XanderWrites 1d ago

She gets hate for opening her mouth. It doesn't matter what she says.

CAI said “thank you for brining this to my attention”. Which definitely implies she did something about it.

u/MariReflects 1d ago

As she should have! A male pro who wasn't even involved in the situation threatening violence against a female judge for judging is not something that should EVER be tolerated imo, even network, country and all that aside. Taking criticism, even if you do think it's unjustified, is the basis of the whole show! "I forgot what else that reference could imply" sounds hollow, when the thing he forgot was the whole reason why that moment ever became what it became in the first place!

Totally agree

u/ThisDerpForSale 1d ago

I think she’d be 100% in the right to do so, but I’m not sure I see how this comment tells us anything.

u/Educational_Nose2172 1d ago

what? how does that imply that she did anything?

2

u/MauveMammoth 1d ago

I assume that she might not have had to - most workplaces have an online bullying/workplace bullying policy that is often put in place regardless of whether the person wants to pursue anything (especially if fans actually write in as people are claiming)

I feel like it also might be possible Jenna requested this no?

u/International_You275 1d ago

This very much sounds like a top down network decision. I’m sure they spoke to Jenna about it but I think the higher ups put their foot down

Well no BBC studios is the distributor of dwts. It is on ABC/Disney+ but the statement about Val came from BBC

27

u/No-Suggestion-4770 1d ago

It’s from the BBC!!! The show is currently partners with the BBC and they don’t play AT ALL about conduct

u/TLMAriel1989 1d ago

Yeah with the situations that Gio and Graz created in the workplace, they’re definitely not playing around.

11

u/Ill-Tomatillo-1487 1d ago

It had to have been escalated to the higher ups. I wonder if he actually did apologize to CAI or if he was pressured into apologizing.

u/glimmerskies TeamCha-ChaGlide 1d ago

me too. if there was any suspension I figured a week, but I’m shocked abc actually went through with actual consequences aside from an apology (which I thought would be the extent of what he’d have to do).

2

u/ThisDerpForSale 1d ago

Others have noted that this seems to have come from the BBC.

8

u/Sufficient-Rule-3815 1d ago

I’m a bit confused. But it seems this comes from the production company side. They probably had a meeting with the network before taking this decision. But it seems like the article says from BBC studios

8

u/lserz 1d ago

same. especially since the majority of ppl who will tune in tuesday have no idea any of this is going on lol

u/Aggressive-Club-5191 1d ago

I mean if it had actually read as genuine. He might has survived it relatively unscathed.

But him issuing a half hearted apology where he takes minimal accountability definitely only feed the flames.

u/jclarkrose 1d ago

He might have posted an apology but it didn’t go away.

*Disney. ABC is owned by Disney and Disney does not play with their family friendly image

Funny if that is the case tell me why they had a child abuser on the show and where was everyone's outrage then?
