Julianne Hough Claps Back At Body-Shaming Trolls With Epic Response

Julianne Hough isn’t mincing words when it comes to online scrutiny of her body.

Over the weekend, the actor and “Dancing with the Stars” host shared a short video of herself enjoying “Sunday Spa Day” and dancing in a bikini while inside of a sauna.

Though Hough’s video may have been meant in jest, it drew a mixed response from fans, with some saying in the comments that they were “concerned” by her “weird” behavior.

Others went a step further by criticizing her appearance. “She needs to eat some milkshakes and cheeseburgers,” one person wrote, while another suggested she “lighten up on the Ozempic.”

On Monday, Hough responded to the negative commentary with a lengthy note aimed at her detractors.

“My body has never been healthier,” she wrote. “I was full of inflammation in my 20’s and had a marker for an auto immune that I addressed and committed to over a year and a half ago. I’ve frozen my eggs over the last few years which also shifts the body fluctuation. I’ve never been healthier or happier from the inside out.”

Hough also stated that the video was aimed at showcasing her “playful” side, which she described as the “most authentic version.”

“For those of you genuinely concerned because this is unusual for you to see, I understand that what you don’t understand feels unfamiliar and sometimes scary,” she wrote. “I’m going to continue feeling safe within myself regardless of the outpouring of your comments, and have fun with life which can be really heavy and challenging.”

Hough concluded her note urging her followers to “be playful and laugh and enjoy the journey” rather than “taking everything so seriously.”

“Sending love, light and playful energy your way,” she wrote.
