DANCING WITH THE STARS judge Bruno Tonioli had some controversial words to share following the performance of actresss and model Charlotte McKinney on last night's show.

Following McKinney's rumba with partner Keo Motsepe, the judges came down hard on the couple, but none more so than Tonioli who critiqued, "You're never going to win the Nobel prize for quantum physics, but you are easy on the eyes and you produce wonderful shapes."

The couple, who received a 22 out of 40, were later eliminated from the competition.

On today's GOOD MORNING AMERICA, McKinney responded to Tonioli's harsh comments, saying "To be honest, I just really thought it was uncalled for. Especially the week before, I've really been trying to be used as a platform for social media bullying and really just stop any negativity and just talk about being positive, and it just came out of nowhere." She continued, "It was silly but sometimes on live TV you just forget. I mean, I've heard it all. At the end of the day, just shake it off."

Asked why she thought America did not vote her through to the next round, the model offered, "After shooting all day or any press all day and then going to practice you're just emotionally, physically drained. I just think I had too much stress during all this and I didn't get to focus."

She added, "I learned so much from this experience and I'm so grateful and it's been such an amazing ride and it is what it is."
