Leah Remini explains her fiery bickering with the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ judges [WATCH]

“Dancing with the Stars” has had a bunch of guest judges over the years, but Leah Remini was arguably the most, uh, interesting. The Season 17 contestant was predictably blunt and kept everyone on their toes on Monday’s show, repeatedly interrupting the other judges’ critiques and bickering with them when they said something negative. But Remini insists it’s all in good fun.

“Listen, they know what they’re talking about,” she told “Entertainment Tonight” (watch below). “But I’m speaking about … what I’m seeing from my heart.”

Remini praised the celebs with no dance experience for putting themselves out there and threatened to walk off the set after Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli gave Lamar Odoms 4s (which was harsh, tbh; toss him a 5, guys). The “King of Queens” alum awarded the former Laker a 7 after being moved to tears by his Viennese waltz with Peta Murgatroyd.

“I don’t think that people understand that Lamar is not a dancer. And on top of that, he’s dealing with almost dying ,and it’s not easy to learn a dance,” Remini said of Odom’s 2015 coma crisis from which he now suffers memory loss. “Not only are you learning a new thing that you have never learned in your whole life, but you’re doing it live in front of millions and millions of people. But I think he represents what the show is.”

Remini’s generous score and fan votes weren’t enough to keep Odom out of the bottom two. Between him and Karamo Brown, the judges saved the “Queer Eye” star who had an important breakthrough this week with his tango.

Asked whether she’d guest-judge again, Remini quipped, “I hope so. I don’t know if they’ll have me back at this point.”
