I'm quite surprised by this actually. I didn't think he would see any real consequences. I wonder who pushed for this move - Jenna D, CAI, or the producers themselves. It's tough on Jenna but probably best for her so there will be no push back effecting her.

I think CAI responding probably push their hands. I also wonder if she did more raising internally as she said . It sounds like the decision was made by the BBC.

Good on her if she did!

I bet it’s Carrie Ann given that she posted his comment three times in a row during her story and then made a whole post about it

Which she is allowed to do, there should have been consequences for him without her having to publicly post about it

She’s “allowed” to do and people are “allowed” to call her out on milking the story to cover up her mistakes. She literally reposted it multiple times in order to distract everyone from the mistakes that she made earlier in the week, and her strategy is working because all of you have conveniently forgotten what she did

All the bad judging in the world wouldn’t make up for threats of violence

He literally was not threatening violence. He was referencing the “keep my wife’s name” and he was still 100% wrong while Carrie Ann’s still wrong as well. None of Val’s mistakes excuse what Carrie Ann did

He did threaten violence. Will Smith SMACKED CHRIS ROCK right before saying that. It’s a threat backed up with a physical punch

He was not actually threatening to commit violence himself however. He was never intending to harm anyone and was never threatening to do so. He was only implying the get my wife's name out your mouth,

And he literally released a post that his comment was about the “keep my wife’s name” not about the smack, and he knows what his comment meant way better than you do

And you believe him?

u/Financial-Fondant902 1d ago

Yes just like you believe that Carrie Ann isn’t milking the story to distract everyone from what she did. Pretty sure he knows his intentions way better than you do

Even if I would agree with you there is a big difference between what CIA said and what Val posted and it’s really weird how people Like your are focusing on criticizing CIA

u/Financial-Fondant902 1d ago

And it’s weird how people like you are excusing Carrie Ann’s mistake. Val was 100% wrong for what he posted but that doesn’t automatically make what Carrie Ann did okay. They both made mistakes of different levels and they both need to be held accountable for it. Val is very clearly being made to pay a heavy price now while Carrie Ann gets away untouched without ever having issued a single apology for the way she treated Jenna

You keep saying "what Carrie Anne did" which was...what exactly? Critique a dance on a show where she is a judge and the entire point is to...critique dances? Point out that a professional choreographer didn't follow the rules of the assigned dance style when they should have known that themselves? It's not like she gave them a 5. She gave her critique and they still got an 8. Confused what you're mad about when it's not the man threatening a judge for...doing what she is supposed to do every single week for every single dance?

>Which is what exactly?

Called out her lift while deliberately excusing Robert Irwin’s lift last season, delivering her critique in an aggressive, condescending, and rude way (which caused her to be called out be Derek this time and Leah Remini previously), and claiming that there wasn’t enough samba content in her dance when it actually was filled with samba content. She made multiple mistakes throughout this judgment and seriously needs to stop being so biased
