Dancing With the Stars fans were thrown for a loop on Monday’s episode, as Olympian Suni Lee left the dancefloor shortly after her performance due to an illness. While host Tyra Banks noted that she did not test positive for COVID-19, she did share that she was experiencing some “tummy” issues. DWTS viewers weren’t thrilled by the fact that the host shared a personal message about Lee’s health, and they made sure to voice those very concerns all over Twitter.ย
Lee and her partner Sasha Farber performed an impressive Paso Doble to Queen’s “We Will Rock You.” After their routine ended, Lee left the dancefloor. Both Farber and Banks noted that the Olympian wasn’t feeling well and that the pro would remain behind to hear the judges’ critiques. Banks added that Lee was having issues with her “tummy” and stressed that she did not have COVID-19.
