Braxton's clip package before her dance on Monday featured a particular comment that surely came off as negative to many DWTS fans. The reality star and singer was asked about her status in the competition so far. Braxton quietly responded, "It's hard for me to say without me coming across shady, but I'm probably the best dancer in the competition."
According to People, Braxton did not love seeing that presented in such a way.

"She doesn't care as much about getting low scores. That's life. She's okay with that," her pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy told People this week. "It's more about the package [shown before our dance]."
Chmerkovskiy further explained why Braxton was upset about the clip package:
"Everybody is asked to say something in a friendly way [about being competitive] but, like I said, all that banter out of context is going to look extremely rude and a bit vain. And given her nature in general, it can really come off as negative. That's what she's upset about."
Braxton and Chmerkovskiy were one of the last couples to be called safe at the end of Monday night's show, suggesting that they may have been in danger of elimination. This may have caused more of America to vote for her to make sure she stays in the competition, or the clip package may have altered people's perception of her in a bad way.
Regardless, Braxton has been one of the top contenders thus far in the competition so America would have to really not like her for her to be eliminated now. Though stranger things have happened.
Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
