'Dancing with the Stars' Judge Carrie Ann Inaba Is Booed by the Audience: Here's What Happened

It turns out that life on the Dancing with the stars Ballroom isn't all about spins and pleasantries. During the October 7 show, judge Carrie Ann Inaba was booed by the audience for her reaction to a contestant's dance. Below are all the important details about this now-viral exchange.

What led to Carrie Ann Inaba being booed?

While DWTSAt Soul Train Night in 2011, participant and National Basketball Association (NBA) star Dwight Howard took the floor along with his partner Daniella Karagach performs the Cha-Cha “Let’s Groove” by Earth, Wind and Fire.

After the routine was completed, the two went to the judges to get feedback, as is customary on the show. At this point, Judge Inaba decided to express her opinion and said, “I’m going to have a little real conversation. That was hard to watch.”

The crowd immediately started booing pretty loudly before Inaba chimed in and explained, “No, I'm going to tell them because I know he can take the criticism.” I know you can do better, and you're trying us with all the expressions.”

And while her criticism may have been harsh, guest judge Rosie Perez agreed with Inaba, saying: “I have to agree with my flyer (Inaba) here. I love you (Howard). You know I love you on the pitch.’ But I think you just have to work a bit harder, that’s it. But I love your passion, I really do, and you had so much fun out there.

However, Howard's partner Karagach admitted in her pre-show interview that “we had to travel this week. We didn't get much practice. That’s why I’m stressed because the cha-cha-cha is the hardest dance we’re going to do all season and we’re learning to do it in two days.”

Howard added: “Compared to the last few weeks I'm really nervous. I should definitely know further steps now.”

Ultimately, the couple received a total of 22 out of 40 for their cha-cha performance, which you can watch below!
