After being eliminated from ‘DWTS’ – Whitney Leavitt admits shocking truth
Whitney Leavitt compared her “Dancing With the Stars” elimination to a “breakup” in a tearful video.
“I’m just going to speak from the heart and share what I’m feeling,” the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star began in her TikTok video Thursday after her shock departure on Tuesday’s “Prince Night.”
“When you’re casted on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ you are seeing each other for hours every single day. Then it just stops. It genuinely feels like a breakup. It feels like I’m going through withdrawals right now,” she explained through tears.
She continued to say that waking up without having rehearsal with her pro partner, Mark Ballas, “just felt weird” and made her “sad.”
“You grow real friendships and real connections with these people,” Leavitt, 32, insisted. “You learn so much about yourself and people uplift you constantly. You challenge yourself and you just feel so loved.”
The reality star especially broke down as she shared her close friendship with Ballas, 39, who she will “forever be so grateful” to.
“The one thing that I’ve loved the most, that I wasn’t expecting, was getting a lifelong friend.”
“I love you guys and I f—king love this show,” she concluded.
During her time on “DWTS,” Leavitt — who dominated the dance competition show — received a lot of backlash from the fans due to her prior dance experience.
