A new wave of controversy has hit Dancing With the Stars as reports surface that Jordan Chiles’ mother is taking legal action against the show’s judging panel. The alleged lawsuit claims that a series of “unfair decisions” have negatively impacted the 24-year-old gymnast during her run on the competition.
According to statements shared by a family representative, Chiles’ mother believes the judges’ scoring has created an uneven playing field. She argues that the panel’s critiques and point distribution have not only been inconsistent, but have also contributed to an increasingly hostile environment surrounding her daughter’s performances.
In a strongly worded statement, Chiles’ mother expressed deep frustration over what she views as a pattern of biased decision-making. “It’s a shame they are undermining the integrity of DWTS,” she said, criticizing the scoring that she feels has placed Jordan at an unfair disadvantage.
The statement goes on to warn that such decisions could have serious consequences for her daughter’s emotional and professional well-being. “If they don’t change their decision, my daughter will suffer significant harm,” she added, emphasizing what she described as the mounting pressure Jordan has felt throughout the competition.
Chiles’ mother also referenced the intense public scrutiny Jordan has faced in recent months, particularly from segments of the U.S. gymnastics fan base. “How can they treat a 24-year-old girl who is being criticized by the entire U.S. gymnastics fan base like this?” she asked, calling the situation “unacceptable.”
Sources close to the family say the alleged lawsuit is rooted not only in concerns over scoring, but in the belief that Jordan’s public perception is being shaped unfairly by the judges’ comments. Her mother reportedly feels that the panel’s feedback has fueled negative discourse online, amplifying existing tensions.
While Dancing With the Stars has not issued an official response to the reported legal action, insiders suggest the show is aware of the concerns. Whether the matter develops into a formal dispute involving the network remains unclear, but the situation is already drawing widespread attention.
Fans of the gymnast have also begun to speak out, with many expressing support and urging the show to ensure fairness and transparency. Online discussions have erupted across social platforms, with viewers debating whether recent judging decisions have indeed been harsher toward Chiles than toward other contestants.
As the story continues to unfold, Jordan Chiles’ mother has vowed to keep fighting until, in her words, “we get a fair response and an apology.” For now, the future of the dispute—and its potential impact on Jordan’s journey on Dancing With the Stars—remains uncertain, leaving fans and viewers anxiously awaiting the next development.
