Tyler Cameron is facing backlash from Dancing With the Stars fans after reposting a TikTok that poked fun at fellow contestant Harry Shum Jr.’s emotional moment on the show.
On the show’s Grammy-themed episode on Tuesday, Nov. 10, Shum, 44, and his pro partner, Jenna Johnson, performed a salsa to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile,” earning a near-perfect score of 29 out of 30.
In the pair’s pre-dance rehearsal package, the Grey’s Anatomy and Glee star became emotional as he talked about growing up in Costa Rica.
“I was born in Costa Rica, so like people were dancing salsa, merengue, bachata, but I was always an observer,” he said. “So I’m really excited to tap into my roots.”
During rehearsals, Shum asked for a short break after being overwhelmed with emotion. He explained that he had avoided salsa because he connected it with the struggles his family faced moving from Costa Rica to the U.S.
“I associated it with the troubles my family went through, and I went through moving from Costa Rica to America,” he said.
Hours after the episode, a fan account posted a TikTok mocking his tears, pairing a clip of American Horror Story star Jessica Lange crying with the caption, “Harry Shum jr when the chipotle worker asks if he wants salsa on his burrito bowl.”
Fans soon noticed that Cameron, 33, who was eliminated with partner Sharna Burgess earlier in the season, had reposted the video to his TikTok.
Many viewers were not happy. “So distasteful for Tyler to repost,” one Reddit user wrote. One TikTok commenter called it “so disrespectful of him to poke fun at Harry’s immigration story,” noting that Shum had always been kind to Cameron.
The criticism stood out because Cameron, the runner-up on Season 15 of The Bachelorette, had been seen as a supportive former castmate. After Tuesday’s episode, he posted a TikTok addressing negativity aimed at the remaining contestants.
“You don’t have to push someone else down to bring someone up,” he said.
The repost was no longer visible on Cameron’s TikTok by Thursday morning. Neither he nor Shum has publicly addressed the backlash.
Other fans rushed to defend Shum. “Harry has always been emotional and passionate, especially in regards to dancing,” one TikTok user wrote. “It’s not out of character or for the cameras. He feels through dance.”
