Corey Feldman Denies Jenna Johnson Feud Rumors
Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson were at the bottom of the leaderboard on Tuesday night following their cha-cha to “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-a-Lot. Ultimately, they were eliminated from the competition at the end of the night.
Following their elimination, Johnson posted a tribute to Feldman on Instagram, writing, “Our time together was cut short but I am SO grateful for the incredible weeks we did get to share!! Thank you for the giggles everyday in rehearsal, thank you for the hard work, and thank you for sharing your life lessons and memories with me! I’ll cherish our friendship forever. Never stop dancing.”
Feldman commented on the post, calling Johnson “an absolute joy to work with” and adding that he was “so sorry for any negativity the media is using to give the false narrative that our time together was anything less than enjoyable.”
The actor emphasized that he was “there 7 days a week for the past 3 weeks doing everything in my power to give U my best.” He ended his comment by writing, “God Bless your family. Keep dancing the dream.”

Why Were There Rumors of a Feud?
According to E! News, rumors of a feud between Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson began before the DWTS Season 34 premiere, when Johnson shared that she hadn’t seen Feldman since the cast announcement on Good Morning America. She made it clear that he had other commitments, and they were soon reunited for rehearsals.
However, Johnson’s brother-in-law Maksim Chmerkovskiy added fuel to the fire by saying in an interview that she had been facing “a bit of an uphill climb with Corey,” sharing, “I know that she’s having a much more difficult time with this entire thing and to the point that it is really difficult for her.”
Johnson’s elimination from the competition in the second week is significant, since she won the Mirrorball trophy last year with Joey Graziadei. Following the disappointing news on Tuesday’s show, Feldman said, “She was the queen from last year, so she deserves to be the champ every year in my book ‘cause she’s really great.”
