Suni had twisted her left ankle on a fall from uneven bars earlier this summer while training for the Olympics.

DWTS had its cast perform to the most iconic songs from the band Queen, and Suni and her partner Sasha Farber decided to dance the Paso Doble to We Will Rock You.

However, after the routine, Suni was seen immediately running off stage, which led the former America's Next Top Model host to explain the situation.

She said: “Suni is not feeling so good. Not covid! Not covid at all! But she's not feeling well so she danced sick and she had to leave. But she's okay!”

Despite the moment, judges still gave the 18-year-old scores of three eights and a nine and commended her for performing while ill.

Suni would return to the stage for the relay dances, but Tyra once again focused on the awkward moment.

Tyra, 47, told the athlete: "Suni, I got to ask you. I know you've been struggling all day and, like, dude is like, you're throwing up. This is live TV and you ran off!”

Suni responded: "... It's very scary because it's like, I've never done that before so I was kind of embarrassed and I knew that if I didn't come out here I'd be very disappointed in myself."

FANS' BACKLASH

Fans were not happy at all with how Tyra handled the situation, taking to Twitter to react.

One person wrote: "Tyra should be fired for putting Suni on the spot. She should know better."
