Dancing With the Stars pro Emma Slater debunked a major rumor swirling online about her celebrity partners. Fans were convinced that Slater, 36, often gets paired with male stars over a certain age because of her role as a choreographer for the DWTS live show. However, Slater shut down the speculation in a TikTok comment. "Emma said in an interview that she and Britt [Stewart] plan the tours so they usually take the ones who most likely won't make it far," the comment read. "This is a rumor just FYI," Slater replied, according to a DWTS fan account.
