LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Chandler Kinney was seen leaving practices with her 'Dancing with the Stars' partner, Brandon Armstrong, in an apparent disagreement. In the parking lot of their Los Angeles rehearsal facility, the 'Zombies 2' actress looked to be having a furious discussion with professional dancer Brandon.

The dance partners were talking with their arms up while wearing expressive looks on their faces. Brandon seemed to be snapping in another image at one point, holding up the number "4" with his fingers.

After rehearsal, Chandler was also spotted listening to her partner's ideas while extending her fingers. Chandler donned a black tank top and gray biker shorts, while Brandon wore a black T-shirt and joggers.

Both were dressed for action. Chandler seemed to have finished a lengthy day of practice because she also had a big bag slung over her shoulder.

The possible confrontation comes only two days after Brandon and Chandler shared a TikTok video in the rehearsal studio. As they danced along to a popular TikTok song, both of them admitted that they were becoming "too comfortable" with one another.

On September 10, Chandler posted a video of them "getting silly" during a late-night practice.

Fans were already labeling Chandler and her partner as "finalists" for this season when they saw another video in which she displayed some outstanding maneuvers. Others remarked on the pair's evident connection, referring to them as having "a vibe together."
