- Danielle Fishel and Whitney Leavitt are both contestants on *DWTS *season 34.

- At the end of the Sept. 30 episode, Fishel appeared to dismiss Leavitt's seemingly upbeat reaction to another contestant's elimination.

- Fishel has since addressed the rumors of a feud between them.

The *Dancing With the Stars *ballroom can be a magical place, but season 34 is proving it's not all glitz and glamour.

Tensions seemed to rise between celebrity contestants Danielle Fishel and Whitney Leavitt at the end of the Sept. 30 episode. After Fifth Harmony singer Lauren Jauregui and her pro partner, Brandon Armstrong, were eliminated, eagle-eyed viewers noticed what appeared to be an uncomfortable exchange between Fishel and Leavitt as the cast gathered to say goodbye to the pair.

Leavitt has not commented on the interaction, but she previously acknowledged on *DWTS* that the audience might recognize her as the "villain" among the group of #MomTokers on *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. *This villainous reputation could explain why some fans are quick to judge and jump to conclusions.

A now-viral video shows the season 34 cast gathering around Jauregui and Armstrong, offering comfort after their unexpected elimination.

As the *Secret Lives *star stands in the back, she smiles and laughs, but once Fishel speaks, Leavitt reverts to a more serious expression. Some viewers interpreted this as Leavitt trying to celebrate with the *Boy Meets World *actress that they are still in the competition.

A few days later, another fan shared footage of the moment from a new angle, which seems to tell a different story. As the cast surrounds Jauregui and Armstrong, Fishel moves toward the back and accidentally bumps into Leavitt. The two briefly hold hands before refocusing their attention on the emotional scene.

So, from this angle, it looks more like Fishel apologized for bumping into Leavitt, and the two seemingly laughed it off.

What has Fishel said about the feud rumors?

On Wednesday, Oct. 1, *TMZ *caught up with Fishel as she was leaving *DWTS* rehearsal. When asked whether she had "put Whitney in her place" or thought Leavitt's enthusiasm "was a little tone deaf" following the elimination, Fishel firmly shut down the speculation and denied throwing shade at her fellow contestant.

"No," she replied. "It's a roller coaster of emotions. We can be happy for ourselves and our friends that were safe and also sad that somebody is gone."

She continued, "So I definitely did not put her in her place, but I just went to go comfort my friend," referring to Jauregui.

A representative for Leavitt didn't immediately respond to **'s request for comment.
