The next day, Hough posted a lengthy update responding to critics who said her behavior in the video was “weird.” Some asked if she was OK.

Additionally, “the trampoline was a new try for me today at my [friend’s] house - this is their routine - sauna, cold plunge, jump,” she said. “It’s for your lymphatic system which promotes lymphatic drainage which helps protect the body from disease and infection.”

Hough explained that “a bikini is the best outfit for these activities.”

She then expanded on her current mental and physical health. “My body has never been healthier - I was full of inflammation in my [20s] and had a marker for an [autoimmune] that I addressed and committed to over a year and a half ago,” Hough said.

“I’ve frozen my eggs over the last few yearswhich also shifts the body fluctuation. I’ve never been healthier or happier from the inside out,” she continued. “Grief, loss. Sadness and fear also get stored in the body and we hold on to that in different ways. I made it a huge priority to accept, express, process and release a lot of emotions over the years.”

Hough also noted that the “playful” side shown in the video is her “most authentic version.”

“I saw somewhere that when kids are the most playful and can be the most strange and weird versions of themselves it means they are the safest to do so,” she said.

“My playful goofy side is a reflection of how safe I feel in my own skin and with the people around me. Everyone who is close to me knows this side of me means I am the most free in [judgment] of myself and from others.”

The formerAmerica’s Got Talentjudge then responded to followers who were “genuinely concerned” to see this “unusual” side of her. “I understand that what you don’t understand feels unfamiliar and sometimes scary,” she said.
