The entertainment world saw a mix of reactions and defenses this week, with stars of the Netflix drama 'The Gentlemen' addressing reports about Meghan Markle at their London premiere. Meanwhile, actress Jenna Dewan found herself defending her casting on 'Dancing With the Stars' amidst fan backlash.

At the premiere of 'The Gentlemen' series 2, cast members expressed surprise and a lack of direct knowledge regarding recent news about Meghan Markle. The event, held in London, provided a platform for the actors to comment on the unfolding stories. Separately, Jenna Dewan, a professional dancer and actress, addressed criticism surrounding her inclusion in the upcoming season of 'Dancing With the Stars.' Dewan, known for her roles in 'Step Up' and her early career as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson, stated that she does not possess ballroom dancing expertise, seemingly preempting concerns about her qualifications for the competition.
