Derek Hough's Shocking Incident with Jennifer Lopez

Derek Hough's Shocking Incident with Jennifer Lopez
Published 2 years ago on Oct 26, 2023

Derek, a 38-year-old judge on 'Dancing with the Stars,' feared he had jeopardized his friendship with the pop icon, Jennifer Lopez, 54, during a lively night in Las Vegas. The incident took place several years ago when he visited her during her 'All I Have' residency at Planet Hollywood's Zappos Theater. 

Oops! Derek Hough was once worried he'd lost Jennifer Lopez as a friend after accidentally pulling out her hairpiece while dipping her at a salsa dancing party (pictured in 2020)

As he vividly described the event, Derek explained how they were dancing to a live band, soaked in sweat, and enjoying themselves. All seemed perfect until the moment he dipped JLo, and things took an unexpected turn. 

In Derek's words: "We're dancing, and we're having a good night. We're sweating. The live band's playing. It's steamy, it's going great. This was several years ago. And I dip her and... I step on her hair, and I pull her back up, but her hair didn't come back up." 

'Congratulations!' The hair-raising incident most likely occurred in January 2016 when the 38-year-old DWTS judge (L) visited the 54-year-old pop diva (2-L) in Las Vegas during her All I Have residency at Planet Hollywood's Zappos Theater

Jennifer, the multi-talented singer and actress, displayed her remarkable composure, not letting the incident disrupt the dance. In a quick and skillful move, she managed to retrieve the dislodged hairpiece during a squat turn, an impressive feat that left Derek in awe. 

Later that night, the two had a lighthearted confrontation about the hairpiece. In Derek's humorous retelling, Jennifer asked him, "Derek, do you know what you did?" To which he, in a light-hearted response, said, "Show you the time of your life, what's up?" However, Jennifer made it clear, "No, you pulled out my hair!" 

Later that same evening, the former Fly Girl and Janet Jackson back-up dancer (pictured in 2020) - whose hairstylist Lorenzo Martin frequently gives her extensions and faux-ny ponytails - confronted Derek: 'Do you know what you did?'

Derek initially feared that the incident had harmed their friendship. But to his relief, Jennifer, the queen of resilience, demonstrated her graciousness. The very next day, she offered him a project, which turned out to be the reality competition 'World of Dance.' The deal for Derek to join Jennifer and Ne-Yo as a judge was finalized in November 2016, cementing their professional collaboration and friendship. 

'World of Dance' went on to air for four seasons from 2017 until its cancellation in 2021. The show celebrated dance talent from around the world and was a testament to Jennifer and Derek's shared passion for the art form. 

Derek also shared his joy about his August 26 wedding to fellow dancer Hayley Erbert, a magical ceremony in Monterey County with 106 guests. He recounted the fun-filled event and their unforgettable honeymoon in Italy, which included visits to Rome, Tuscany, and the ancient city of Matera. 

Aired from 2017-2020! That project turned out to be NBC reality competition World of Dance and the deal for Derek to judge it alongside Jennifer and Ne-Yo (L, pictured in 2020) was finalized in November 2016

The couple has resumed their 'Derek Hough: Symphony of Dance' tour, with their next performance scheduled for Thursday at the DeVos Performance Hall in Grand Rapids, MI. Additionally, Derek continues to share his dance expertise as a judge on the 32nd season of 'Dancing with the Stars,' which airs on ABC and Disney+ on Tuesdays. 

Derek Hough's accidental hairpiece incident with Jennifer Lopez not only adds to their memorable moments but also serves as a testament to the enduring strength of their friendship, both personally and professionally.

The six-time Mirror Ball Trophy winner (pictured September 2) gushed: 'We were in Como, we went to Rome, we went to Tuscany. We even stayed in this ancient city called Matera which is 10K years old. It's the third oldest city in the world where we literally stayed, our room was a cave. It was wild. It was really cool'
