Julianne Hough has a big message for those concerned about her bikini-clad body.
Over the weekend, the Dancing With the Stars host posted a video to Instagram showing off her “Sunday spa day”! The day of R&R consisted of spending time in the sauna with a red light therapy mask on, doing a cold plunge, and jumping on a trampoline — all while wearing a snake-print two-piece.

It doesn’t sound very relaxing for a spa day to us! But whatever floats your boat, right? And Julianne was definitely living her best life in this clip! Ch-ch-check it out (below):
Julianne looked like she thoroughly enjoyed her “Sunday spa day.” However, her happy bubble burst when social media users had anything but kind words to say about everything from her body to her acting “silly” on camera. Fans wrote:
“I’m concerned. Are you ok?”
“Eat a burger.”
“This is the weirdest thing I’ve seen in a while”
“Her IG is getting weird.”
“She’s giving I need attention vibes”
Jeez.
Some of that was sincere concern in there… we think.
But it seemed the response was overwhelmingly negative! Julianne received so many critical messages she hopped in the comments to address them — something she doesn’t “usually” do. The 36-year-old professional dancer fired back at the body-shamers on Monday, insisting she’s actually “healthier” than ever before:
“My body has never been healthier – I was full of inflammation in my 20’s and had a marker for an auto immune that I addressed and committed to over a year and a half ago. I’ve frozen my eggs over the last few years which also shifts the body fluctuation. I’ve never been healthier or happier from the inside out. Grief, loss. Sadness and fear also get stored in the body and we hold on to that in different ways. I made it a huge priority to accept, express, process and release a lot of emotions over the years.”
Oof. And it has been a rough couple of years for Julianne between her divorce and the brutal death of her beloved dogs…
When it comes to Julianne showing off her “playful side” in the video, she argued it “is the most authentic version” of herself, adding:
“I saw somewhere that when kids are the most playful and can be the most strange and weird versions of themselves it means they are the safest to do so. My playful goofy side is a reflection of how safe I feel in my own skin and with the people around me. Everyone who is close to me knows this side of me means I am the most free in judgement of myself and from others.”
We love that for her! Julianne continued by addressing the fans who aren’t being haters but genuinely are worried:
“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. So why not be playful and laugh and enjoy the journey instead of taking everything so seriously.”
The actress ended the lengthy post by saying she is “sending love, light and playful energy your way” now. What a great response. See the entire comment (below):
Oh, and that wasn’t all! The Safe Haven star also had one last message to those telling her to “go eat a cheeseburger”… She already did! In a since-expired video of herself enjoying a burger, she wrote:
“This was on Sept. 17th the premiere date of DWTS”
Ignore the haters, Julianne! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments!
