After being eliminated ahead of the Dancing with the StarsSeason 34 finale, Whitney Leavitt shared a bittersweet goodbye to the ABC competition series.
On Thursday, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star posted a video of her tearful reaction to being cut after the semi-finals, which took place during ‘Prince Week’, expressing her gratitude for gaining “a lifelong friend” in dance partner Mark Ballas.
“When you are cast on Dancing with the Starsyou are seeing these people hours every single day. Then, it just stops,” she said in an Instagram video. “It genuinely feels like a breakup. It feels like I’m going through withdrawals right now. Today just felt so weird. It felt so weird not going into the studio and meeting with Mark and learning a dance. It just felt weird, and it made me sad.
