Off Campus’ Belmont Cameli has reacted to seeing Tyler Cameron perform his notorious on-screen salsa dance on Dancing With the Stars.
“I did see that. And he killed it too,” Cameli, 28, said during a Sunday, September 27, interview with Entertainment Tonight on the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet. “And the man looks good, and he gave full effort, and that’s what I love, that’s what it’s all about. Tyler did fantastic.”
Cameron, 33, performed the Tuesday, September 22, live salsa to “Girls” by The Kid Laroi, which mirrored the song choice originally chosen by Off Campus for its premiere season 1 episode in May. Cameron, who is competing with pro Sharna Burgess on season 35 of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, received 16 out of 30 for the performance.
Cameli, who stars alongside Ella Bright in the Prime Video romance drama series, added that he’d also seen Cameron’s fellow DWTS contestant Guillermo Rodriguez have a go at the original choreography. “I saw a video of Guillermo doing it, too, and Guillermo f***ing killed it,” Cameli told the outlet. “Sexy little dance.”
Cameli attended the VMAs alongside Bright, 19, posing for photos with her on the event’s red carpet. Appearing friendly and giggling in each other’s company, the appearance seemed to squash any lingering rumors of a feud. (Social media users were convinced in recent weeks that Cameli deleted, or archived, multiple Instagram grid photos that featured Bright.)
The pair even addressed the rumors during individual interviews with Entertainment Tonight. “I mean, I laugh every time I hear them,” Cameli said. Bright added, “All the days I’m on-set, we’re, like, in the green room, and he’s like, ‘Have you seen this?’ and I’m like, ‘LOL.’”
Cameli also said that the rumors were “really entertaining. And sometimes fascinating, the conclusions people will jump to.”
He concluded, “I’m happy to put [the rumors] to bed. Ella and I are extremely close.” Bright also concluded, “He’s one of my best friends. He doesn’t need to know that, but he is.”
Cameli and Bright’s Off Campus costar Mika Abdalla recently told Vogue India about how season 2 will differ from season 1. “It’s a lot more emotionally turbulent, so you lose some of that fun, best-friend energy,” Abdalla, 26, told the outlet in an article published on September 1.
The show is based on the book series by Elle Kennedy and follows an elite ice hockey team and the women in their lives.
