Amanda Kloots is speaking out about her negative experience working with Alan Bersten on Dancing With the Stars. The 42-year-old The Talk co-host, who started her career as a dancer on Broadway and in the Rockettes, competed on the ABC dancing series back in 2021. Amanda and Alan made it to the season finale, but placed in fourth in the end. Basketball player Iman Shumpert won the season with JoJo Siwa placing in second and Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby coming in third. In a new interview, Amanda revealed what it really was like working with Alan.

She said, “Growing up Russian, growing up in that dance atmosphere. And he did see a lot of potential in me, and he saw that we could possibly win this thing.” She admitted that Alan “yelled at” her, but she would keep her own feelings inside to not detract from their rehearsal time. Amanda said, “I would just keep it bottled up and we would just be dancing, and I would just be raging inside.” Thankfully, Amanda thinks that Alan has changed his ways. “I think Alan has grown up a lot in the last couple of years. I’m saying this, and I know that he’ll agree with me: I helped him become a nicer person in teaching,” she said. A recently eliminated pair from Dancing With the Stars appears to be dating now in real life.
