While Julianne Hough has been one of the tougher judges on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, she admitted Friday that she's been supported by the show's dancers.

Hough is not one to hold back on Dancing With the Stars, but she appeared on Good Morning America Friday morning where she said that it's all coming from a place of love.

"Yeah. I'm a little tough - tough love," she admitted. "But it's a fun role. And I think that whatever I say, it all comes from the heart and from honesty. But, yeah, you have to mix it up a little bit. And -- but honestly, every couple that's come out there and the celebrity, I look at them, and I just think, 'I don't know how you do it.'"

While Hough admitted that "last week it was a little bit tougher" when it came to the couples reacting to their scores, she added. "So far, so good. Everybody's been really welcoming and supportive and the fellow dancers say 'I love it, they're comments that we understand. And, okay, we can take this and use it for next week.' So, yeah. I feel really blessed and fortunate to be on the show. It's been fun."

As Enstars previously reported, DWTS fans have not been especially kind to Hough ever since she joined as a judge this season. Many Facebook commenters have said that they don't like her on the show; however, with her strong personality it seems unlikely that they would oust her after only one season.

Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
