A ‘FURIOUS’ DWTS contestant has stormed off set and is feeling ‘let down’ by producers in a rare moment that cameras didn’t catch, The U.S. Sun can reveal.
Following the first controversial elimination of the season, tensions have been “at an all-time high” on set when cameras stopped rolling.

On the second week of Dancing With the Stars, a combination of judges’ scores and viewer votes sent home two pairs in a shocking double elimination.
Child star Corey Feldman, 54, along with his pro partner Jenna Johnson, and NBA legend Baron Davis, 46, along with his partner Britt Stewart, were the first pairs to get the boot.
According to a production insider who was present on set during last Tuesday’s episode, there has been growing animosity behind the scenes of the show.
The source claimed: “After the eliminations, Corey was furious after the results were read.
“He felt completely let down by the whole experience and felt the producers overpromised things to him and didn’t hold up their end of the bargain.
“He stormed off the set by himself and wouldn’t talk to anyone for awhile. He’s not mad at all at Jenna, he loved her even though she was frustrated with him.
“He feels let down by producers and the overall experience.”
According to the insider, “tensions have been at an all-time high” early on this season.

“Things have been tense primarily because of the intensity of eliminations and also because of some negative energy coming from the contestants.
“Corey and Hilaria had been causing some frustration with their demanding attitudes.
“Hilaria made it through but she’s been tough for producers to handle, very difficult to work with,” they claimed.
Previously, The U.S. Sun revealed that Hilaria, 41, was making “diva demands” leading up to the show premiering because she is “obsessed” with winning.
One source told The U.S. Sun that Alec Baldwin‘s yoga instructor wife had already been taking her role on the ABC contest show extremely seriously immediately after the full cast was officially announced.
The insider alleged that Hilaria is “pulling out all the stops.”
“This isn’t about a trophy, it’s about finally stepping out of Alec’s shadow,” the insider claimed.
“She sees this as her time to shine, and she’s even asking Alec to try to get his celebrity friends in the audience to cheer her on,” they alleged.
Among some of the other claims of diva demands, the insider said Hilaria has requested to rehearse in a private studio with mirrored walls so she “could focus on her aura.”

She is also said to have allegedly banned fluorescent lighting from her DWTS dressing room, opting instead for ambient lighting to set the mood before showtime.
Meanwhile, in a report out earlier this week by Rob Shuter’s Naught But Nice Substack, a source claimed that the yogi was upset about being paired with a show veteran.
The influencer and Baldwin family matriarch was said to have “lost it” after being paired with pro Gleb Savchenko, and not with the show’s newest star, and Taylor Swift’s former Eras Tour dancer, Ravnik.
“Hilaria went ballistic,” one insider claimed to Shuter. “She’s furious producers gave Jan to Jen Affleck. She thinks her chances of winning are now dead before rehearsals even begin.”
Nevertheless, Alec’s wife and the mother of seven of his eight children was seen already rehearsing, on the streets of New York City, with Gleb earlier this week.
Dancing With the Stars airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm EST on ABC.
