By Rachel Fowler
DANCING With The Stars fans have put judge Carrie Ann Inaba on blast for making an insensitive comment about Selma Blair's performance.
The actress withdrew from the competition on Monday night, due to suffering severe pain from MS.
Monday night's show was one for the books.
It was Most Memorable Year night and many of the performances left the ballroom in tears.
However, Selma shocked everyone when she announced that she had to withdraw from the competition, due to doctor's orders.
She and her partner, Sasha Farber, got to dance one more time, despite leaving.

The judges still gave them comments and scores, even though they wouldn't count.
They were all left choked up and the pair got mostly praise for their routine.
However, Carrie Ann is a stickler when it comes to lifts and she commented on Selma's despite the pain the actress is suffering.
After Tyra Banks told Carrie Ann it was her turn to speak, Sasha spoke up and said: "That was a lift."

"That was a lift, but it's ok, I'll forgive you," the judge said with tears in her eyes.
The rest of Carrie Ann's comments were positive, however, and she called Selma a "blessing" and "inspiration to us all."
When they received their scores, all of the judges gave them 10's despite Carrie Ann being critical about the lift, resulting in them getting a perfect score.
NOT UPLIFTING
Despite the judge not meaning any harm by it, DWTS fans took to Twitter to talk about her comment.
"Now why tf Carrie Ann bring that up …. she’s sick #DWTS," tweeted one fan.
"Carrie Ann bringing up that lift just doesn’t sit right with me…. can she give it a rest for ONCE #dwts," asked another.
After one fan said that a perfect score is what Selma deserves, they followed up with another tweet: "Thank god that Carrie Ann didn’t deduct a point for that lift…could y’all have imagined of that had happened?? #DWTS."
To that, someone said they would demand her resignation.
"CARRIE ANN CANT BE SERIOUS RN WTF #DWTS," tweeted a shocked fan.
"Carrie Ann… this is not the moment to talk about lifts! #dwts," said another.
One last fan wrote: "CARRIE ANN SHUT UP ABOUT THAT FLIT!! #DWTS."
SAD TWIST
The DWTS cast sobbed after Selma announced her departure from the show and danced one last dance.
On Monday's episode, the 50-year-old revealed that she had to leave the competition due to her doctor's concerns.
The actress suffers from multiple sclerosis, commonly called MS, and has struggled throughout the competition.
In a rehearsal video that played before her heartwrenching live performance tonight, the Cruel Intentions star sat down with her professional partner Sasha Farber.
"I had these MRIs, and the results came back, and it all adds up to - I can't go on with the competition," she told him, holding back tears.
"With a chronic illness, you do have special consideration, and my body is definitely taking a hit," she explained.
"It's just way too much for the safety of my bones. There's just intensive bone trauma and inflammation among rips and tears, so I could do extensive damage that, of course, I do not want."
