Dancing with the Stars host Ara has been suspended for one week. The penalty followed a social media post in which Ara defended his wife. The controversy arose during an episode featuring Johnson and actor Harry Shum Jr., who performed a samba. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba criticized a lift used during the routine. Inaba said the move was part of the choreography. The social media defense, rather than the judge’s comment, is identified as the reason for Ara’s suspension.
