Hilaria Baldwin is two-stepping toward the haters.
Following her elimination last week from Dancing With the Stars, the 41-year-old shared why she believes she and her partner Gleb Savchenko were booted from season 34 of the competition series.
“I did get bullied off the show,” Hilaria said in an Oct. 12 Instagram Live, referring to the criticism she received online throughout her four weeks on DWTS. “I did, that’s for sure. That is for sure.”
In fact, the The Baldwins star—who shares kids Carmen, 11, Rafael, 10, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 7, Eduardo, 4, María Lucía, 4, and Ilaria, 2, with husband Alec Baldwin—has been vocal about facing negative comments online throughout her time on the ABC show.
“There’s a big problem online right now. It’s a big problem,” she told season 33 winner Joey Graziadei on the show’s official podcast immediately after her Oct. 9 elimination. “We don’t see each other. We make enemies out of each other. And I’m talking about my fellow women. Women’s inhumanity to women. We need to stop. We will never get anywhere.”

Hilaria went on to use World Mental Health Day to address the “very coordinated, strategic bullying” she received while on Dancing With the Stars.
“I would be remiss if I didn’t address the elephant in the room,” she said in an Oct. 13 Instagram video, “which is that there was some bullying going on aimed at me over the past few weeks.”
“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 negativity that I receive,” Hilaria continued, “because in reality, I am none of the negative things that some people say and that breaks my heart.”
The former yoga instructor also called out the “campaigns of hate” that she sees as an issue plaguing public-facing people.

“They take lives and they demolish mental health, and it’s tragic how rampant this behavior is, and countless suffer daily,” Hilaria explained. “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.”
Despite the negativity, Hilaria is appreciative to her supporters who helped get her cast on the show.
“I’m so grateful for this experience that I had on Dancing with the Stars,” she shared. “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.”
Hilaria added, “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.”
