Yahoo Lifestyle Julianne Hough Issues a Direct Response to Fan Concern Over Recent Bikini Video
Julianne Hough is setting the record straight about her health.
Following an outpouring of concern on one of her latest Instagram videos, the Dancing with the Stars host issued a direct response to claims that she looked "unhealthy."
The original video, uploaded on Sunday, Sept. 29, featured Hough dancing around in a video while moving through different spa treatments. While many of her supporters were happy to see the energetic clip, others called her "weird" for frolicking around in a swimsuit.
Taking to the comments under the post, the 36-year-old actress wrote, "I don't usually address comments like this but I'm going to say a few things about this video."
She first explained some of the devices she used in the "Spa Day" video, including a red light therapy mask and a protective hat for when she was in the sauna. Another clip also showed her bouncing around on a small trampoline.
"The trampoline was a new try for me today at my friends house—this is their routine—sauna, cold plunge, jump—it's for your lymphatic system which promotes lymphatic drainage which helps protect the body from disease and infection."
"Being in a bikini is the best outfit for these activities especially in this order," she explained before declaring, "My body has never been healthier."
Going on to explain that she has gone through various experiences that could affect her health, like freezing her eggs, Hough insisted, "I’ve never been healthier or happier from the inside out."
"This playful side of me is the most authentic version," she said, while noting, "Everyone who is close to me knows this side of me means I am the most free in judgement of myself and from others."
Hough then addressed the concerned fans directly.
"For those of you genuinely concerned because this is unusual for you to see, I understand that what you don’t understand feels unfamiliar and sometimes scary."
"I’m going to continue feeling safe within myself regardless of the outpouring of your comments, and have fun with life which can be really heavy and challenging," she explained. "So why not be playful and laugh and enjoy the journey instead of taking everything so seriously."
"Sending love, light and playful energy your way 💕," she concluded.
"you don't owe us an explanation," one of her followers replied. "Take care of your health and enjoy the little things."
Someone else added, "I see a beautiful woman who’s taking care of herself and having fun! Women should support women ❤️❤️"
