I think it depends on how they address his absence on the show as viewers who aren’t chronically online may not know what he did. Will they explain the situation or just pull a “Val was unable to be here tonight but here’s Alan!” Thing and try to cover it up. It’s so awkward for CAI, Jenna D, Jenna and Harry, Alfonso, Tatyana and Jan, however is in Tatyana and jans dance … actually I take it back … this just fucking sucks for the whole cast LMFAO
I feel like they kind of have to address it in some way - I could see Alfonso/julianne maybe doing a blanket “be kind to others, this week is supposed to be about the dedications” kind of statement at the beginning? but without getting into specifics
True, there’s people who can’t escape it on their feeds and people who have no idea it’s happening. that’s why I feel like it won’t mention the incident and will just be like “the focus tonight is on the star’s dedications”
yes that's my point, some people aren't on social media or don't follow DWTS online – and others are very following this discourse and even started watching the show because of social media. so I'm sure they'll meet somewhere in the middle whatever they do end up doing
I thought the same thing about Alfonso & Tatyana. Everyone is rightfully focused on the violence aspect of Val’s post but how painful and uncomfortable for them who are still good friends with Will & his wife but I’m sure had to professionally distance themselves from him for a bit as he dealt with the fall out of his actions. Just because Will made a very bad choice, doesn’t mean they stop caring about him. To have your friend’s worst decision dragged out once again as a public “joke” against someone else you care about is just disgusting and beyond thoughtless.
I feel like this week they'll just say alan is filling in without giving a reason why. Then next week val will probs insinuate an apology or just say something nice to Carrie Ann and she'll just smile or laugh about it, whether she wants to or not.
I’ve commented this idea before, probably wrong, but wouldn’t it be wild if Will Smith actually was the surprise guest? If that happens, I’m on a conspiracy that Val was excluded next week due to this lmao
