Clearing The Air with Louis Van Amstel

In a previous podcast, Lacey Schwimmer opened up about being body-shamed during her time on DWTS and how comments about her weight attributed to Maks Chmerkovskiy and Louis Van Amstel in a TV Guide article broke her spirit. Louis joins Cheryl to set the record straight. He reveals how a journalist twisted his words for a juicy headline, what was actually said to the reporter, why he never reached out to Lacey, and why he would never criticize anyone for their looks.  The duo, who have known each other for over 20 years, have an honest conversation about the lack of body diversity in the world of dance, the tribute Cheryl didn't get an invite to, and what they wish the current judges would do more of.  Plus, Louis reveals he wants to be the fourth judge on DWTS, details on his upcoming new podcast, and how his LeBlast Fitness is expanding!
