Corey Feldman Calls DWTS Backstage Culture 'Toxic' as He Reunites With Jenna Johnson

He says his criticism targets off-camera rumor-mongering, not his on-set experience.

Overview

  • In a preview for Alan Gurvey’s radio show, Feldman described behind-the-scenes mudslinging on Dancing With the Stars as the "worst" and "most toxic" he has seen.
  • Feldman later told People his experience with cast, pros, crew and production was positive, saying his remarks referred to outside commentary and rumors from individuals no longer with the show.
  • On Nov. 23, he posted an Instagram reunion with former partner Jenna Johnson plus Baron Davis and Britt Stewart, and he suggested he may make a brief appearance during the finale.
  • Feldman and Johnson were eliminated in week two of Season 34 during a double elimination after scoring 24 out of 50.
  • His comments follow September remarks from Maksim Chmerkovskiy that Johnson had a "really difficult" time with Feldman, which Feldman says Johnson brushed off, and ABC representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
