In a rare instance of everyone actually agreeing on the internet, CBSs new show The Activist, which pits six activists against each other to promote various social causes, was collectively dragged as the worst idea ever when it was announced earlier this week.

Co-hosted by Priyanka Chopra, Usher and Julianne Hough , the five-week reality TV series promises to bring meaningful change, but people immediately panned it for being an unhelpful distraction from the real work going on , promoting a zero-sum game ideology and centering contestants instead of the marginalized groups that the activists are supposedly advocating for.

Now, Hough is responding to the backlash, writing in a lengthy note on Instagram on Tuesday that she is deeply listening with an open heart and mind.

I heard you say there was hypocrisy in the show because at the root of activism is a fight against capitalism and the trauma that it causes so many people and that the show itself felt like a shiny capitalistic endeavor, Hough wrote. I also heard you say that trying to value one cause over another felt like the Oppression Olympics and totally missed and disrespected the many activists who have been killed, assaulted and faced various abuses fighting for their causes.
