Julianne Hough Claps Back At Body-Shamers After “Inappropriate” Bikini Video Sparks Criticism

The dancer recognized how her attitude might’ve been off putting to some viewers, but assured them that the playfulness she displayed was her most authentic version. “My playful goofy side is a reflection of how safe I feel in my own skin and with the people around me,” she noted.

For Hough, being able to freely express oneself, no matter how strange and bizarre it may seem to others, is a healthy habit that people lose as they become adults. “I saw somewhere that when kids are the most playful and can be the most strange and weird versions of themselves it means they are the safest to do so,” the dancer explained.
