Julianne Hough was feeling a certain way about the incest comment made on the Nov. 10 episode of Dancing With the Stars.
Julianne and her brother Derek Hough have a long history of dancing together.
Dancing With the Stars season 35 air on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
Julianne Hough has entered the chat.
The dancing pro and Dancing With the Stars cohost reacted to her brother Derek Hough commenting on Carrie Ann Inaba’s incest remark to Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach during Grammy Night.
Throughout DWTS season 35, Frech and Karagach spoke about their relationship being similar to that of siblings.
When they performed an intimate Argentine tango to Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” (Remix), Inaba said that the Paralympian turned “your sister into your lover” for the routine.
“Sister to lover, that’s awkward,” cohost Alfonso Ribeiro said. “Tell me about it, that was weird,” Derek added.

Julianne shared a post on her Instagram Stories, which showed a picture of Derek with his eyebrows raised and his mouth wide open.
“Derek adding in ‘tell me about it’ after Carrie Ann gave Ezra and Daniella credit for doing an intimate dance when they feel like siblings had me GIGGGGGGGLING,” read the post, which Julianne shared with a shrugging emoji.
She and Derek have danced together for years, training and performing all styles of dance.
During Grammy Night, Inaba was ultimately complimentary of Frech and Karagach, who ultimately qualified for semifinals. “That was by far the hardest dance you’ve done so far. Am I right?” Inaba began.
“What you displayed here with your balance and the ganchos and the boleos. The way you were able to stay so centered on yourselves while also delivering the story that I want so much with this dance.”
She then commented on the “the intimacy” of the routine. “Turning your sister into your lover for one night is all good!” Inaba said, while Frech laughed and Karagach cringed.
“It was fantastic. I’m so proud of you. And there was an element of danger, which I think is different than anything we’ve seen before. And for that, I give you a lot of credit,” concluded Inaba. Their final score for their dance was 27.

In a post-show interview on Tuesday night, Karagach quipped to Entertainment Weekly, “We’re not gonna talk about that,” while Frech playfully exclaimed, “Oh! Oh!”
As for how she and Frech shifted to “sexy dance” mode after being in “sibling mode,” Karagach said, “The thing is, every partnership has their chemistry. We obviously have our own chemistry, and our own strengths and what we are comfortable doing.”

“That being said, I feel like, yes, we have that family love for one another, and love can be in different ways. But when you’re doing something like this, you have to tune into the character of the dance. The task was this specific character,” she added.
“We’re committers. We commit to the gig,” the dancing pro declared. Karagach concluded that Inaba “means love” with her incest comment.
