Julia Stiles just turned a year-old insult into one of the most talked-about moments of this“Dancing With the Stars”season. On Wednesday night’s episode, she called out Andy Cohen by name for his 2025“Radio Andy”comment asking if everyone could agree she’s“not the greatest dancer on the planet.”Instead of letting it rattle her, she made a joke about revenge on his“Watch What Happens Live”couch and got back to business with pro partner Ezra Sosa.
She also dropped a revelation that surprised a lot of fans. That iconic dance sequence from“Save the Last Dance”was performed with a body double, which explains why people assumed she was a trained ballerina. Stiles admitted she actually stopped taking dance classes after the film because the pressure to meet that expectation became too much. Her Quickstep to Dolly Parton’s“9 to 5”earned 18 out of 30, and the vibe on the floor was pure joy.
Cohen responded fast, hopping on his own show hours later to apologize and crown himself the“Jackhole”of the day, saying he’s the last person who should be giving dance feedback. The night also brought real stakes: Sarah Jane Nader was eliminated, one day after Conner Leavitt’s premiere exit. So where do you land? Should celebrities be fair game for critiques once they sign up for a dance competition?
