A brief moment captured during a recent “Dancing with the Stars” semifinals broadcast had viewers buzzing with speculation, but the truth behind it is far more lighthearted than any imagined drama.
In a clip that quickly spread online, professional dancer Daniella Karagach appeared to walk past actor and celebrity partner Dylan Efron as he reached out for a celebratory hug. The moment led many to wonder if there was an intentional snub.
However, Karagach herself soon addressed the situation directly. Setting the record straight, she humorously explained that her swift exit was not a rejection but a practical mission for a quick wardrobe adjustment. “Not you catching me on a mission to pick my wedgie,” she wrote, turning the potential controversy into a relatable and funny incident.
The explanation was met with immediate support and laughter from fans online, who appreciated her candidness. Karagach embraced the viral moment, adding that the situation was “so embarrassing,” further endearing herself to the audience.
The pair, who have developed a strong partnership throughout the season, have successfully advanced to the competition’s finale. They will be joined by several other couples in the final round.
Efron has previously spoken highly of his professional partner, praising her dedication and their collaborative dynamic, which has clearly contributed to their success on the dance floor.
