How Hilaria Baldwin Reacted to ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Elimination

It wasn’t quite a fairy-tale ending for Hilaria Baldwin on Dancing With the Stars this week. The reality star and wellness influencer was eliminated during Disney Night, and sources tell ShuterScoop that she was far from happy about it.

According to insiders, Baldwin “completely lost it” backstage, reportedly directing her anger at everyone—from producers (who she accused of “sabotage” for not giving her the right music or choreography) to the judges, and even husband Alec Baldwin. “She said it wasn’t ‘Disney enough,’ and blamed Alec’s friends for not voting,” one source said. Another described the moment as a “rollercoaster of rage and tears,” while a third admitted, “It was heartbreaking. She wanted this to be her redemption moment.”

Despite the drama behind the scenes, Hilaria appeared composed when addressing fans. During her elimination, she shared a heartfelt message with E! News: “The first night we got here to L.A…I said to my daughter, because I’m so open with my kids, ‘What happens if I get voted off right away?’ She said, ‘Mommy, at least you tried.’ And I hope they always know that: At least I tried.”

On stage, the tension was replaced with gratitude and encouragement. Hilaria and partner Gleb Savchenko joined Danielle and Pasha and Andy and Emma in the final moment before the announcement. When their names were called as the couple leaving the competition, Gleb reassured her: “Listen, I’m so proud of you.”

Taking the mic from host Julianne Hough, Hilaria thanked everyone, saying, “This has been an incredible experience. I am so grateful to all of you, I’m so grateful to my children and my family. I’m cheering on everybody in the cast. This has been an amazing time.”

Savchenko praised her as well: “You are truly an inspiration. She’s a superhero and an incredible mom.” Baldwin echoed the sentiment during the post-show press line: “It’s a weird combination of feelings. You love everybody and you want to root for everybody. It’s the most torn feeling you could possibly imagine. I’m grateful for every single day that I had with Gleb and to Dancing With the Stars. I’m excited to cheer everybody else on as they continue their journey.”

The pair had also made an impression on fans for their skill and artistry. “I feel like we’ve introduced ballroom [on] another level to the audience of Dancing With the Stars,” Savchenko told TV Insider. “I don’t think people had seen me dance Samba [which I did last week] on that level since my competition days. Sure, it’s fun and entertaining, but I’m glad that people were commenting on social that that was a real Samba we did. There was very positive feedback on that. We’d done a great job.”

Unfortunately, despite strong scores and Hilaria’s massive Instagram following of over 1 million, she didn’t receive enough votes to continue. Fans hoping to see a special family moment will have to wait—next week’s “Dedication Night” would have featured Alec Baldwin joining his wife on the dance floor. Hilaria teased the planned routine to fans: “We were going to dance to our very first wedding dance, ‘Contigo [by Luis Miguel].’” She added that her husband had been calling following the live broadcast, though she hadn’t picked up yet.
