Julianne Hough isn't letting online negativity spoil her summer fun! The 35-year-old Dancing with the Stars co-host shared that she found humor in the heated reactions to an Instagram Reel she posted in early June. The video featured her stretching in a sauna while wearing a bikini, which sparked a flurry of "hate comments."
Hough explained that the video was spontaneous, created simply because she thought it looked great and wanted to add a fun, sexy song to it. She was amused by the fact that the video garnered more views than other posts, such as those about her book.
In the video, Hough is seen in a brown bikini, stretching from different angles in the sauna. The caption humorously read, "Six Senses Sizzling Sauna Stretches 🤸♀️🧘♀️." She mentioned that she uses the sauna for its health benefits and stretches there to keep her muscles loose.
This interview coincided with the launch of Blender Bites' new Superberry Sport 1-Step Smoothie flavor, a product she endorses. The smoothie is high in protein and made with natural, organic ingredients, aimed at aiding muscle recovery for active individuals like herself.
Hough also addressed the double standards she observed in the comments. She noted that while it's common to see men shirtless in saunas or cold plunges, women in bikinis often receive different reactions. Despite this, she remains confident and unbothered by the criticism.
As a proud 35-year-old woman, Hough is comfortable sharing her body positivity online. She also mentioned that she plans to continue wearing swimsuits through the fall as she takes swimming lessons to improve her technique.
