Some fans of “Dancing With the Stars” pro Lindsay Arnold are publicly criticizing the dancer-choreographer’s social media habits and cautioning the TV star against sharing too much online.
Arnold, who is currently expecting a second child with husband Samuel Lightner Cusick, was called out by fans on Reddit for being too active on social media, posting too many affiliate links and sharing too much content featuring her daughter, Sage, 2.
“I rarely watch [Arnold’s] stories. I got tired of her 900 hauls and ads,” one person commented on the thread. “Sage is a cutie but Lindsay should be very cautious about posting every move she does since people are psychopaths.”
“It drives me nuts,” another fan wrote. “Her sister Jensen [Arnold Hill] is like that too with her son. They’re going to grow up not knowing what it’s like to not have a phone in their face.”
“I was thinking the same thing,” a third person wrote. “But at the same I am watching the stories so whatever she’s doing is working. I do worry for Sage and hope she doesn’t get embarrassed or upset when she realizes her whole life was documented and shown to the public.”
Lindsay Arnold Is Known to Clap Back at Social Media Trolls
This isn’t the first time Arnold has faced online criticism. Arnold clapped back at trolls in May 2022 when, after posting a photo of herself on Instagram wearing a bikini, a fan asked if she was “expecting.”
“LOL the confidence people get on social media.. like would you ever say this to someone in real life?!” Arnold responded. “Also.. do you think I’m just gonna give you, some random stranger, the inside scoop on me being pregnant first??? HAHAHA funny stuff …”
In August 2022, the professional ballroom dancer faced backlash again after sharing a video of her laundry room where piles of clothes could be seen on the floor.
In October 2022, Arnold shared comments she received from fans who felt she was showing off her baby bump too much.
“No one cares about yr belly. Cover it up,” one Instagram user commented.
“Geez girl. Tell me how you really feel,” Arnold wrote in response.
“Why do you poke your belly out? Like you have a good bod for 17 weeks. Stop forcing it,” someone else wrote.
“Lol honestly I’m kinda just confused reading this. PSA to online trolls get your words straight before typing,” Arnold responded.
Lindsay Arnold Said Returning for Season 31 of DWTS ‘Didn’t Feel Right’ for Her Family
Arnold shared in an August 31, 2022 Instagram post that she’d decided to take some time off from DWTS, sitting out season 31 to stay in Utah with Cusick and their daughter, Sage, 2.
“As many of you know my family and I live in UT and in order to do DWTS I have to move myself and my daughter Sage out to LA and leave behind my husband Sam who works full time here in Utah,” she wrote. “Logistically there is SO much involved with making this happen and there is a lot of sacrifice that has to be made that unfortunately just did not feel right for us this time around.”
Arnold added that “family is the most important thing to me” and “doing what is best for my daughter is always going to be at the top of my list!”
A few months after announcing her plan to take time off, Arnold revealed she was expecting a second baby.
In an October 2022 interview with Us Magazine, Arnold said being pregnant for the second time was a different experience than her first time around, and she felt less of a need to take selfies of her changing body.
“It’s funny how it’s like when it’s your first [pregnancy], literally that’s all I could think about all day long, every day,” she said. “I was taking mirror selfies all the time, with my bump.”
She added that she’s also more tired with her second pregnancy, because she’s taking care of a toddler.
“I’m like, ‘geez, I feel like I’m so much more tired this time around,'” she said. “I literally had just me to take care of when I was pregnant with Sage.”
In a gender reveal post on Instagram on November 1, 2022, Arnold revealed she and Cusick were expecting a girl.
“[W]e are beyond excited to bring another sweet girl into our family and so so happy that Sage will have a sister,” she wrote.
