LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 32 Adrian Peterson and his partner Britt Stewart performed a Viennese Waltz on the new episode. However, 'DWTS' fans think that producers mocked the controversial star Adrian.

Adrian and Britt prepared to take the ballroom floor and the 'DWTS' Instagram account announced that they were assigned 'Dumbo' for Disney Week.

However, a Reddit user shared a screenshot of the show's Instagram announcement, where viewers claimed that they perceived it as a shady song choice.

Multiple social media users seemed to think the film choice was no coincidence, and they took to Reddit and wrote, "I just thought this was funny at first glance." "Dumbo indeed," added another person.

Another Reddit user said, "They trolling?" Another user noted, "Because he's abusive... he beat his 4-year-old son a few years back.. yet he claiming on the show he's a family man lol what a DUMBO."

Another follower wrote, "Very much on the nose." Another critic claimed, "LMAOOO nah someone in the marketing department at DWTS knows what they doing."
