Julianne Hough Denies ‘AGT’ Staffers Criticized Her Physical Appearance

-

Julianne Hough issued a denial after a report claimed she was subjected to criticism of her physical appearance during her time as a judge on America’s Got Talent.

Stars Who Were Fired From Jobs

“I had a wonderful time on America’s Got Talent. I loved working with the cast, crew and producers,” the dancer, 31, said in a statement to Variety on Tuesday, November 26. “I am happy to continue my working relationship with NBC. … I’m looking forward to what the future holds.”

Although Hough was dropped from the AGT judging panel, she has two more projects with NBC in the works: a TV special costarring her brother, Derek Hough, titled Holidays With the Houghs, and an appearance on the annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center program.

Talk Show Controversies and Feuds: The Biggest Ever

Julianne’s statement came after two unnamed sources claimed to Variety that the Grease: Live star had received constant criticism on her hair, makeup and wardrobe from AGT staffers. The magazine reported that the incidents impacted Julianne’s morale and caused tension on set.

Julianne only appeared on season 14 of America’s Got Talent. News broke last week that she and fellow judge Gabrielle Union had been cut from the show. Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and host Terry Crews are all expected to return for season 15.

Huge TV Shows That Were Quickly Canceled and Forgotten

The Variety report also claimed that Union, 47, was let go after she urged producers to report an offensive joke made by guest star Jay Leno to human resources. The former late-night host, 69, allegedly joked about Cowell’s dogs being “on the menu at a Korean restaurant” in a segment that never made it to air.

In response to the allegations, NBC and Fremantle said in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday, “America’s Got Talent has a long history of inclusivity and diversity in both our talent and the acts championed by the show. The judging and host lineup has been regularly refreshed over the years and that is one of the reasons for AGT’s enduring popularity. NBC and the producers take any issues on set seriously.”

Their traumatic experience leads the women down a dangerous path — and they aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. “Showtime does like their gore. But luckily, this is just a natural agreement on all of our parts,” showrunner Ashley Lyle told Slate in January 2022 of the show’s dramatic visuals and dark story lines. “We knew going in that we wanted to have a visceral quality to the show. Our intention is never to be shocking or provocative for the sake of
