“Dancing with the Stars<\/a>” judge Carrie Ann Inaba has admitted to giving female contestants on the show a harder time compared to the men.<\/p>\n

During an interview with Variety<\/a>, Inaba weighed in on the fan theories that the judge is more critical of the women on the show<\/a>. The former dancer does not view that perspective as a negative.<\/p>\n

“I think that it is partly true,” she told the outlet of the fan theories.<\/p>\n

“I am the woman on the panel, and I understand what it is to be a woman, so I can get into more detail about what I\u2019m seeing,” Inaba continued.<\/p>\n

She explained to the outlet that her approach is not meant to offend the women competing, but push them to reach their full potential.<\/p>\n

“Because I support women so much, I let them know what I see because they are working so hard. I always feel it\u2019s my responsibility if I sense somebody hasn\u2019t given it their all because I don\u2019t want them to walk away with regret,” Inaba said.<\/p>\n

Carrie Ann also admitted that she’s more stern when critiquing the women on the show because they are “tougher than men in some ways.”<\/p>\n

“None of us are ever 100 percent right,” she said, referring to the other judges, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“But I\u2019m willing to risk that and speak to them so that they have the opportunity to grow. And when I speak woman to woman, I\u2019m maybe a bit more frank. Maybe because I feel like women are tougher than men in some ways,” Inaba said.<\/p>\n

She continued, “This is how I speak with my girlfriends \u2014 very blunt and to the point, because I know they want the information. I think there is some truth to what they\u2019re saying, but it\u2019s not exactly what they\u2019re saying.”<\/p>\n

Inaba explained that she believes the world is tougher on women.<\/p>\n

“But in general, I think people are tougher on women. And what\u2019s funny is they\u2019re accusing me of being tougher on women while they\u2019re being tougher on a woman,” she noted.<\/p>\n

Inaba told the outlet that the negative reaction around some of her decisions has poorly affected her mental health. Variety noted that in the past several episodes, Inaba has been booed after giving contestants her score.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes the things they say are cruel, and that has affected me. It\u2019s made me scared. It\u2019s not so much that I get hurt as I get afraid, because it feels like they\u2019re like attacking me verbally, so I shrink down a little during the season, especially after week five or six. That\u2019s when it usually starts to happen,” she said.<\/p>\n

However, since Inaba has been a judge on the show for 20 years, she has learned how to take negative feedback from fans.<\/p>\n

“By doing that, it makes the online hate and vitriol that comes at me feel less like it can hurt me, because I\u2019m very true to myself. When you\u2019re true to yourself, it doesn\u2019t matter as much what everybody else is saying about you,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
