Corey Feldman Walks Off 'DWTS' Stage Following Elimination

Actor Corey Feldman’s "Dancing with the Stars" journey came to an abrupt end Tuesday night, and his exit wasn’t without drama. Feldman and pro partner Jenna Johnson performed a cha-cha to Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back,” scoring just 15 out of 30 points. It was the second week in a row that the pair landed at the bottom of the leaderboard. At the end of the night, Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson were eliminated alongside former NBA player Baron Davis and his partner Britt Stewart, who graciously thanked the show and called the experience “amazing.”

Feldman, however, appeared less enthusiastic. While praising Johnson as “amazing” and saying she “deserved better,” he sparked chatter after someone in the live audience captured video of him walking off the stage while the rest of the cast remained behind saying their goodbyes.

The awkward moment quickly spilled onto social media, where users had strong, and often scathing, opinions about the actor’s time on the show. “Why are y’all acting like Corey Feldman is a good person?? He’s done a lot of bad and shady things,” one person wrote. Another viewer chimed in, “Even before I heard about 'Corey’s Angels' I was getting a weird and creepy vibe from him.”

Others criticized his reaction to criticism and scores. “I knew he was a problem the first week when he acted shocked about his low scores. Guy thinks he can dance better than he can,” one fan posted. Another bluntly added, “He made me so uncomfortable I’m okay with him going home.” The walk-off moment also raised eyebrows, with one user noting, “Walking off by himself with the rest of the cast still on the stage says a lot!”

Despite the early elimination and online criticism, Jenna Johnson spoke warmly about her time with Feldman, especially their first performance together. Reflecting on last week’s premiere, she admitted she was curious to see how her partner would handle the pressure of going live.

“It is really intimidating and so scary to go live,” she explained. “But I was just so impressed with Corey. I mean, he is a performer. He is a showman, and he put on a full performance that night. I was just so proud of him. I love that he showed up, he was giving facials and energy, and that is everything that I asked for.”

While Jenna Johnson has publicly praised Corey Feldman’s energy and showmanship, insiders suggest the partnership wasn’t as seamless as it appeared on camera. Maksim Chmerkovskiy, brother to Johnson’s husband, Val, hinted that working with Feldman was a far greater challenge than audiences realized.

“Obviously, Jenna has a bit of an uphill climb with Corey, which is easy for everybody to say from [outside], but 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,” Maksim admitted.

Speculation about the duo’s dynamic began weeks earlier, when Johnson told fans she hadn’t seen Feldman since the official cast announcement on September 3.

Responding to questions about the lack of rehearsal clips, she confessed, “To be completely honest, I actually haven’t seen him since 'Good Morning America.'” The admission fueled chatter that the two struggled to get on the same page both in rehearsals and behind the scenes.

Corey Feldman’s brief run on "Dancing With the Stars" may have ended with more drama than applause. From shaky scores to whispers of behind-the-scenes tension with Jenna Johnson, his time in the ballroom was anything but smooth.

While Jenna publicly praised his energy and performance spirit, insiders painted a very different picture, one of missed rehearsals, mounting frustrations, and a partnership that never truly clicked.
