Zendaya is still grieving about her Dancing with the Stars stint coming to an end. The Challengers star sat down with W Magazine and revealed her gripes with her work on the show, and said she doesn’t watch series now. “Listen, I’m still harboring a little animosity about that,” she said of her losing the celebrity dancing show. “I felt that loss.” The actor came in second place on the sixteenth season of the show. She also called the environment “highly stressful” being only 16-years-old at the time and having to perform on live television every week. “It’s so scary. I took it very seriously, which, in retrospect, I wish I didn’t,” the former Disney star said. “I wish I’d enjoyed it a little bit more and just was like, ‘Eh, whatever.’ You know what I mean? But I was stressing myself out. I really went through it on that.”
