Hilaria Baldwin was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars and says she was “bullied off the show.”
Alec Baldwin’s wife took to social media to make a claim that shocked everyone following her exit from the ABC competition show.
“I did get bullied off the show,” she said on an Instagram Live on October 12 after heavy criticism on social media. “I did, that’s for sure. That is for sure.”
Despite feeling animosity from viewers, Baldwin did say she enjoyed her time on the show.
“I’m so grateful for this experience that I had on Dancing with the Stars,” she said. “I never thought I would dance again, and I have all of you to thank for writing into the show and making this wild experience happen. I’m so blessed that I got to share this with my family. I loved everybody I met there, and I’m really excited to cheer on my cast mates.”
This was not the first time that Hilaria talked about all the negativity surrounding her during her time on Dancing with the Stars. In a video posted on October 11 for World Mental Health Day, she said, “I would be remiss if I didn’t address the elephant in the room, which is that there was some bullying going on aimed at me over the past few weeks.”
She continued, “One of the most common things that people say to me when they meet me—when they actually meet me—is how surprised they are by the negativity that I receive because in reality, I am none of the negative things that some people say, and that breaks my heart.”
“They take lives and they demolish mental health, and it’s tragic how rampant this behavior is, and countless suffer daily,” she said. “Some of the people who have harassed me for years and misrepresented and outright have lied about me, I know that they’ll only be satisfied when I’m gone. It seems that nothing I can say or do will be right in their eyes.”
