Ilona Maher Begs Fans Not to ‘Spread That Rumor Around’ Following Questionable Photo

Ilona Maher is basking in the glory of her second place finish in the latest season of Dancing With the Stars, but first, she wants to make one thing clear to her fans: please don’t spread rumors about her.

The Olympian took to social media on Nov. 29 to share a collection of photos with her DWTS castmates but noted that one of the snaps could insinuate something that didn’t happen.

The 18-picture carousel shared on Instagram shows Maher, her dance partner Alan Bersten, DWTS winner and The Bachelor alum Joey Graziadei, fellow Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik, actress Chandler Kinney, former NFL player Danny Amendola, as well as dancers Rylee Arnold, Jenna Johnson, Witney Carson, and Brandon Armstrong on a private jet.

Along with posed photos of the group smiling, candid shots of them hanging out on the plane, and even some of them sleeping, the last picture draws the eye as it shows Maher standing in sweatpants, pointing at her lap as Johnson looks on.

“To be clear: in the last photo, I spilled beer on myself. That is not pee. Don’t spread that rumor around,” Maher captioned the post.

The social media darling’s fans praised the collection of photos, with one fan saying, “That last one looks like an epic college party pic. Love your guys love for each other!”

Others chimed in to echo the sentiment, writing, “The 90-00’s disposable camera vibes are bringing me joy ❤️ and this is the best DWTS crew in a LONNNNG time!” and “Ok but why (as a millennial) is this giving me alllllll the digital camera at a sleepover nostalgia vibes.”
