Zac Affleck Hits Back at ‘Disgusting’ Joke After Wife Jen Is Eliminated From Dancing With the Stars
Zac Affleck hit back at a “disgusting” joke made about him after his wife, Jen Affleck, was eliminated from season 34 of Dancing With the Stars.
During the Tuesday, October 28 episode, Zac, 29, was in the audience after it was revealed that Jen, 26, and her partner, Jan Ravnik, were eliminated from the competition show.
As the credits rolled at the end of the episode, the camera caught Zac looking upset as he hunched over and rested his head near his hands. He lifted his head right as the camera began to cut away, though fans did not get a clear look at his facial expression.
Shortly after the episode aired, one fan took to TikTok to share a video seemingly mocking Zac.

In the clip, the fan covered his face with his hand and appeared upset. However, he quickly lifted his hand and turned to the camera to grin, seemingly implying that he was happy Jen was eliminated. The video used a common trend currently making its rounds on TikTok.
“[Zac] Affleck watching Jen get eliminated from DWTS,” the fan wrote on top of the video, which was reshared via Decider’s Instagram page.
The outlet also shared a screenshot of Zac reacting to the clip with a savage response, making it clear he wasn’t happy about Jen’s elimination. “You’re honestly disgusting. Grow up,” the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star wrote.
Many fans have accused Zac of not being supportive of Jen, especially after he seemingly asserted control over her life on the Hulu reality show. However, he did actively show his support for his wife throughout her time on DWTS.
Prior to their elimination, Ravnik, 30, faced backlash when former DWTS pro Maks Chmerkovskiy slammed his skillset during his wife Peta Murgatroyd’s podcast, “The Penthouse With Peta.”
In the episode, Chmerkovskiy, 45, said, “I’m sorry, Jan has absolutely no business being a pro on Dancing With the Stars. There’s zero foundation, technique, quality, understanding of the partnership. Bro, I’m getting emotional. It is absurd.”

After Chmerkovskiy’s comments circulated online, Jen took to TikTok to defend her partner in a video posted on Monday, October 27.
The clip saw her pretending to type messages on her phone, while Ravnik sat beside her and lip synced, “Take it down. Take it down. Take it down. We need it gone. Take it down. That doesn’t represent me or what we need to be doing.”
“Me when anyone talks trash about Jan,” adding, “We don’t tolerate Jan slander in this house!!” Affleck wrote in the caption.
