Former Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui has spoken out following her unexpected elimination from the latest season of the popular dance competition. The singer was voted off during the third week of the show, a result that visibly stunned both the live audience and the performer herself.
When asked for her immediate reaction to the judges’ decision, Jauregui offered a blunt, one-word response directed at the camera: “Pissed.” The candid moment drew laughter from her professional partner, Brandon Armstrong, and quickly circulated online.
Despite her evident disappointment, Jauregui took time to express gratitude toward Armstrong. “I’m so grateful to have had you as a partner,” she stated during the broadcast. Her elimination was considered a surprise, as fellow contestants Andy Richter and Elaine Hendrix were declared safe, prompting audible gasps from the studio audience.
Jauregui’s final performance was a notable one, featuring a routine set to Fifth Harmony’s hit song “Work From Home.” The staging included backup dancers in construction gear, paying homage to the group’s original music video. The performance held special significance, as three of her former bandmates—Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane Hansen, and Normani Kordei—were present in the audience to show their support.
Reflecting on the song’s lasting popularity, Jauregui remarked, “It’s amazing that nine years later this song is still going crazy.” She also gave a heartfelt shout-out to her former group members from the stage.
This appearance follows recent renewed public interest in the vocal group. The four women previously reunited for a surprise performance at a Jonas Brothers concert in Texas earlier this fall, their first time sharing a stage in seven years. That event has since fueled ongoing speculation among fans about a potential full-scale musical reunion.
While Jauregui’s journey on the dance competition has concluded, the strong show of support from her former colleagues highlights the enduring bonds formed during her time in the chart-topping group.
