LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the recently released 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 31 semifinals episode, we saw Charli D'Amelio and her partner Mark Ballas performing Viennese Waltz to 'It's a Man's Man's World' by James Brown. After the performance, it seemed that Charli was not happy with her performance. 

In order to cheer up Charli, Carrie Ann Inaba got up from her seat and walked toward Charli. She said, "May I hug you" to Charli. The panelist hugged both Charli and Mark and said, "Listen! I just couldn't sit..." She further explained that "perfection is different for everybody." She further fumbled between her words, and claimed that she doesn't know why she is "lunging." Carrie Ann walked back to her seat and held Derek Hough's hands while claiming that Charli and Mark gave perfect performances. Seeing Carrie Ann jump in excitement, fans wondered whether she is "drunk."

A few fans took to 'Dancing with the Stars' Facebook page to slam the panelist. A fan wrote, "I think Carrie Ann is drunk what is she doing getting up like that…maybe she should think about leaving. She is Drama!" Another fan called out her over-excited behavior, saying, "I agree. It's really over dramatic and annoying." "oh goodness I have been hoping she would leave for a long time," wrote another fan. A 'DWTS' fanatic wrote, "Seriously, Carrie Ann is so embarrassing. Wish she'd retire instead of Len!" Another called Carrie Ann, is "unfounded and nasty." 

Moreover, a fan wrote, "I didn’t mean anything nasty very sorry if I offended but she shocked me doing that…." To this, another slammed panelist Carri Ann, "it’s ok. I would just feel badly if she was in a crisis." Well, a few fans continued to slam judges, saying, " am beyond sick of the judges acting like it's so shocking that she's good. Give me a break. Her Contemporary training was really on display in the dance and she was back to making faces instead of really projecting real." 

Let us further wait to see whether Charli will be able to win the title of Disney+'s dancing show. 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 31 finale will air on November 21, 2022 at 8 pm ET on Disney+.
