LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tyson Beckford scored the lowest in 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 32's Motown Night's leaderboard.

With him getting the lowest vote by the audience as well, the model and actor got eliminated from the show.

This came as a shock to many fans as they were expecting Adrian Peterson to get eliminated. The NFL player became the most talked about contestant on ABC's competition show after his domestic violence and child abuse arrest.

'DWTS' fans wonder how could ABC keep an alleged child abuser in the show. A shocked fan wrote on the X after elimination, "Can believe Tyson went home before AP, this is actually criminal."

Another claimed, "Tyson Beckford didn't deserve to be eliminated." A fan questioned the show, "Tyson over Adrian? WTH." 



 



 



 

A fan wrote on Instagram, "Damn they did him dirty."

A fan commented, "He is improving, he deserved better score."

A fan slammed the judges, "Sad to them go☹️ Tyson was making improvements... The judges were too hard on him tonight."

Tyson Beckford's performance dubbed 'work in progress'

Tyson and his pro partner Jenna Johnson did Foxtrot on 'Master Blaster' by Stevie Wonder in Motown Night. Jenna made sure to make the best use of Tyson's athleticism in his performance. 

Despite improved performance, Tyson and Jenna scored the lowest of all. They got 5 from all the judges, making it 20/40.

Michael Strahan claimed, "It wasn’t as smooth as you wanted it to be." However, he believes Tyson had confidence while performing. 

Bruno Tonioli, on the other hand, noticed a few stumbles in Tyson's dance moves. Carrie Ann Inaba therefore dubbed the dance to be "work in progress."

Carrie complimented Tyson for making efforts to connect with the audience. Derek Hough said, "You need to work on the frame, but you’re having fun."
