Ignorance is sometimes not bliss the Dancing With the Starsjudge tells Allure.  I really had no idea what I was doing and it was all out of fun and respect for the character. I do not even know how to talk about it because its such a sensitive topic. It makes me so sad to think that I was that dumb. I learned a big lesson.Hough 26 drew fire from stars and non-celebrities alike when photos of her in the costume surfaced online two years ago. Aduba called the costume choice  unfortunate  but encouraged people to move on in the wake of Hough's initial apology.
