'Dancing With The Stars' Season 28: Fans claim Len Goodman needs to stop with his rude comments after he makes Whitney Carson cry

Last week during Disney Night, Len criticized Hannah Brown and Alan's performance, and this week he turned towards Kel Mitchell and his pro partner Whitney Carson.

'Dancing With The Stars' season 28 celebrated the halfway point on Monday night, and while there were some really good performances that had us dancing in our seats, they didn't seem to impress Len Goodman, as he continued his rant. 

Last week during Disney Night, Len criticized Hannah Brown and Alan's performance, and this week he turned towards Kel Mitchell and his pro partner Whitney Carson. He criticized Alan's choreography last Monday and tonight, he made Whitney cry.

Taking to social media post the episode fans claim it's high time he retires because he brings the entire show down with his rude comments. 

Kel and Whitney took to the stage and danced the quickstep. While Kel managed to perform flawlessly, Whitney had a small mishap when she tripped on her dress, and of course, Len noticed it. Though their performance received a standing ovation from the judges, Len obviously wasn't happy. 



 

Post their performance Len called Whitney's small mishap as "a major incident." And when fans booed at him for criticizing her, he told them to talk to his hand. Erin Andrews called Len a "jerk" for making Whitney cry because of his rude comments. 

Both Bruce and Carrie gave the couple 9 each while Len gave them an 8. Taking to Twitter post their performance, fans claim they have had it enough with Goodman and his rude comments. 

"Len needs to hush his mouth," wrote a fan. While another said, "Len is so grossly rude. Please get rid of him." Adding to that a fan said, "It’s time for old man Lynn to retire Tackless comments." 

Fans even consoled Whitney who broke down after Len's comments. "Whitney I’m a big fan of yours and you guys were amazing please don’t cry," a fan wrote. 

"Len sucked last week and now this. He brings the whole show down the minute he speaks," wrote a fan. Adding to that another said, "Mishaps happen, I think Len was too tough on Whitney... bad form Len." 

"Okay, Len gets a ZERO on being decent," said a fan. 

'Dancing With The Stars' season 28 airs every Monday night only on ABC. Check your local listings for more information.
