DANCING With The Stars fans have been left incensed after suggesting judge Carrie Ann Inaba has been dishing out “harsh” scores to female stars.
They reckon the much-maligned dancer and choreographer – who has featured on the ABC show since 2005 – has been favoring members of the opposite sex when giving her take on routines.

The comments came after the latest Dancing With The Stars episode, dubbed Halloween Nightmares Week.
They particularly called out Carrie Ann‘s response to Disney actress, Chandler Kinney, 24.
The Zombies franchise star looked appropriately spooky for her routine, with a black web fabric detail glued onto her face.
Along with her professional partner Brandon Armstrong, the duo tackled a Viennese Waltz to Secret, by Denmark and Winter.
Yet while Carrie Ann’s co-judges Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough gave a 10 – the highest-possible score – she brandished a nine paddle.
Addressing her analysis she said of their dance: “So it was really strong, but I wouldn’t call it perfection just because it’s such a higher criteria.”
Yet viewers were then quick to flag how she had given 10s to the likes of Dwight Howard, Danny Amendola, Jenn Tran, Joey Grazadei and Stephen Nedoroscik through the episode.
One took to X to rage: “Chandler not getting a perfect score because Carrie Ann loves to underscore women every season.”
Another noted: “Them giving all the men good scores when they’re hardly dancing (just doing lifts) is my villain origin story.”
A third put: “These judges are so harsh on the women but praise the men for doing the bare minimum… I don’t understand.”
After Jenn was given the boot, one then again gave a nod to the scoring imbalance and mused: “The system failed Jenn Tran.”
FAN FURY
It isn’t the first time Carrie Ann has faced backlash from reality TV fans.
Viewers have previously called for her to be fired – claiming she has “overstayed her welcome.”
She has been consistently slammed by fans this season for what they often contend is her harsh and unfair judging.

Yet it appears she has finally had enough.
After a slew of recent criticisms, Carrie Ann took to her Instagram stories to snap at fans.
“I judge what I see from my perspective,” she wrote.
“If I just did what other people do, I would have zero value as a judge.
“But as the woman on the panel, I’m constantly made a target of blame and vitriol.”
She added: “Be mad at me. I can handle it. I’ve been judging for 32 seasons,” she finished. “But then you better be voting.”
It came after The US Sun exclusively reported how ex DWTS pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy slammed the star and argued her critique has “no substance.”
