Last week, Jewel Kilcher commented on Dancing with the Stars’ injured contestants saying, "If you're too hurt to compete then you can't compete." She even added, "As bad as I felt for Melissa, who I hope feels better and comes back, I'm used to our cowboy athletes that live by the rule: 'ride hurt or don't get a score. It may seem harsh, but it seems like the only way to keep things honest."
Just recently, she wrote on her MySpace page again clarifying the negative reports about her comments. "I like Melissa (Rycroft) and think she's gifted (and a real Texas sweetheart), and I adore Steve-O. My comment had nothing to do with either of them. (It) was on a sports website about a rule I have never seen in any type of competition before. Name another sport where if you can’t compete, they use your score from practice."
She further noted, "I am not a mean-spirited person and I think all my fans know that…this isn't a catty girl versus girl thing they are trying to make it into."
