Whitney Leavitt is so sad to say goodbye to Dancing With The Stars! We mean, she was born to win that disco ball!!
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star’s journey in the ballroom dance competition came to an end on Tuesday after she, along with her pro partner Mark Ballas, got eliminated. It came as a shock to most people — even Zac Efron. (But if you asked her former competitor Danielle Fishel, she saw the loss coming a mile away.) It left the controversial MomTok influencer heartbroken.
Naturally, the TV star took to TikTok on Thursday to react to her elimination. In tears, she began by saying how she feels like she just went through a “breakup”:
“I’m just going to speak from the heart and share what I’m feeling. I share the good. I share the bad. I share the ugly, so I’m just going to keep doing that. 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.”
Oof. Whitney shared that it “just felt weird” and made her “sad” waking up and not having to go to rehearsals with Mark. The Hulu personality continued:
“You grow real friendships and real connections with these people. You learn so much about yourself, and people uplift you constantly. You challenge yourself, and you just feel so loved.”
It sounds amazing! Whitney shared some of the “really, really important” takeaways she learned from her time on DWTS, saying:
“It’s so important to surround yourself with people who believe in you, who want to see you achieve your delusional dreams. As cheesy as that sounds.”
At this point, Whitney starts to sob as she reveals that Mark is that person for her. While she “loved” dressing up in the costumes, performing, and expressing herself, she will “forever be so grateful” for the friendship that came out of the show. She added:
“The one thing that I’ve loved the most, that I wasn’t expecting, was getting a lifelong friend. A friend who makes fart noises every single day. I’m just so grateful. I love you guys, and I f**king love this show.”
Aww!
Whitney and Mark had such an incredible season! They should be proud of themselves! And although they didn’t get the Mirrorball Trophy, they got something better — each other! Watch her emotional video (below):
