Carrie Ann Inaba Falls Off Chair On DWTS, Co-Stars Explain Why

Did you see Carrie Ann Inaba fall off her chair on last night’s Dancing With The Stars dance-off?

In case you missed Carrie Ann Inaba’s embarrassing chair mishap, the internet has the 411. Apparently, Inaba was very excited during a performance and had difficulty staying in her seat.

But while Inaba clapped and cheered, she didn’t give a standing ovation. Instead, she slipped from the seat in front of millions of viewers. Awkward!

Carrie Ann was moved by Gilles Marini’s performance, all the way to the floor, in fact. The 44-year-old from Hawaii proclaimed after the dance moves, “let the baby-making begin!” And then, flump.

It would appear that the force of Carrie Ann Inaba’s reaction caused her chair to tumble backwards, as seen in the clip below, and the next we see is Inaba’s hair dangling from the step as she lay on her back after the fall.

But Carrie Ann was a good sport about it — Inaba doesn’t stomp off stage or even stop smiling and laughing. The DWTS judge instead giggles at her misfortune and embarrassing moment as Marini rushes to her side to help her right herself.

After Inaba’s embarrassing spill, co-host Tom Bergeron quips:

“When you said ‘Let the baby-making begin,’ I didn’t think you’d get in position!”

DWTS contestant Peta Murgatroyd blames Marini for Carrie Ann Inaba’s intimate moment with the floor, saying:

“She didn’t fall because of the chair … She fell because of Gilles’ sexiness!”
