Savannah Bananas baseball player Jackson Olson issued an apology to fellow Dancing with the Stars contestant Guillermo Rodriguez on Tuesday, October 6, amid a firestorm of controversy over a social media comment he wrote — and later deleted.
Posting a video of himself with Rodriguez, grooving to the throwback Hannah Montana tune Nobody’s Perfect, Olson wrote in his caption, “To G and to all of you, from the bottom of my heart I am so sorry about my comment I made the other day and that it caused this much negativity,” Olson wrote I love this guy ❤️ now let’s do what this show is meant to be about.. DANCE ? ily G”
@locobeachcoconutsCouldn’t let @Jackson Olson have all the fun ? @Erik Ostberg @Witney Carson #locobeachcoconuts #bananaball #dancingwiththestars #dwts #guillermo
♬ original sound – The Loco Beach CoconutsThe controversy stemmed from a comment Olson left on a TikTok video from the Loco Beach Coconuts, one of the teams that’s part of the Banana Ball league. They tagged Olson while player Erik Ostberg and a female dancer re-enacted the routine that Rodriguez and his pro partner, Witney Carson, had performed days earlier on DWTS.
In the comment section, Olson wrote, “@erikostberg21 but seriously how did you do this better than him with 2 hours of rehearsal ?”
Fans noticed the interaction and immediately took issue with it. A chatroom on Reddit devoted to DWTS exploded when someone shared a screenshot of Olson’s comment and wrote, “one of the banana ball teams recreated witney and guillermo’s dance and this is the comment jackson left…cancel him.”
That discussion alone has over 1,000 comments from fans, with many pointing out that Olson has been outspoken about bullying, urging people to be kind. One comment that drew 1,300 likes, said, “It’s rude and IMO, the fact that he was comfortable saying this publicly makes me think he’s likely a rude person in general since he didn’t think this would be considered ignorant.”
But others stood up for Olson, including someone who wrote, “Cancel him? It was a dumb comment but that’s a bit extreme.”
Olson deleted his comment, but the controversy didn’t subside, with fans continuing to post about it and tagging him.
Many were relieved to see Olson’s apology, flooding his latest post with responses, including DWTS pro Emma Slater, who wrote, “Icons on my screen right now ???”
Fans were very forgiving in his comments, including one who told Olson, “Proud of you for addressing it, Jackson ❤️ Things can get taken out of context so quickly online, but you’ve apologized and chosen to move forward. Now go do what you do best — DANCE ?✨”
Another commented, “I think anyone paying attention knew that there was no ill will but you know the internet! ? now go dance your butts off ?”
Rodriguez and Olson will both be back on the dance floor tonight (October 6) for Mariah Carey Night on DWTS, airing live on ABC and Disney+ at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
