In an interview with usmagazine.com, Newman remarked, "I decided to scare my coaches to make them lighten up. I'm always injured and I'm always getting back on the horse." "I pretended to be hurt and then danced since there are pictures of them looking incredibly solemn and emotional. I had no intention of twerking, but it all came together rather naturally."
Newman was undeterred by the criticism she received for her celebration. "The people whose opinions count to me are my friends, family, coaches, and agents. I would be more offended if somebody said anything hurtful," she remarked. However, I have a firm mental foundation, so I don't take offense when others criticize me. Nobody can truly relate to what it's like to be in my position."
