Corey Feldman Calls 'DWTS' Backstage Culture 'Toxic' in New Interview

He describes a collegial set experience, blaming off-camera mudslinging for a false narrative about his partnership with Jenna Johnson.

Overview

  • Feldman told Gurvey's Law that behind-the-scenes drama around Dancing with the Stars was "the worst" and "most toxic" he has encountered.
  • He contrasted that with day-of production, saying everyone got along and focused on work during filming.
  • Addressing Maksim Chmerkovskiy's September claim that Jenna Johnson struggled with him, Feldman says Johnson dismissed it as attention-seeking.
  • The actor and Johnson were eliminated in week two, after which he posted that media coverage created a "false narrative" about their partnership.
  • Requests for comment to representatives for Chmerkovskiy, Johnson and the show received no immediate replies, and Page Six reports Feldman is not eager to attend the finale.
