After lasting only four weeks in the competition, Hilaria Baldwin\u2019<\/b>s Dancing With The Stars<\/i> journey has come to an emotional end \u2014 and it\u2019s stirring up old wounds.<\/p>\n
After her elimination on Tuesday, October 7, the mom of seven made a tearful confession. \u201cI closed the door on dance a long time ago,\u201d Baldwin told Entertainment Weekly<\/i> in a clip she reshared to her Instagram<\/a>. \u201cAnd opening it up has been painful. Maybe I\u2019ll close the door again.\u201d<\/p>\n That pain is seemingly twofold for Alec Baldwin<\/b>\u2019s <\/a>wife, 41, who once danced in ballroom competitions<\/a> during her younger years. Back then, she was sidelined after suffering a hip injury.<\/p>\n \u201cBroke my hip when I was 25 and couldn\u2019t walk well for the better part of a year,\u201d she shared in a recent Instagram post.<\/a> \u201cYou can see the scar on the outside of my hip. It took me years to recover and to be quite honest, it will never be the same.\u201d<\/p>\n Eric Kowalsky \/ MEGA<\/span><\/p>\n During her final spin on the dancefloor, the yoga instructor and her partner, pro dancer Gleb Savchenko<\/b>, managed to score high praise from judges, but ultimately failed to impress viewers with their quickstep.<\/p>\n Despite her teary exit, Baldwin reportedly stirred up tension backstage during her brief stint. As Star<\/i> reported,<\/a> a source told The U.S. Sun<\/i><\/a> that she requested a private mirrored studio for rehearsals to \u201cfocus on her aura\u201d and banned fluorescent lighting in her dressing room for a softer atmosphere.<\/p>\n This story Hilaria Baldwin Says Dancing Again Was \u2018Painful,\u2019 May \u2018Close the Door Again\u2019 Following \u2018DWTS\u2019 Exit<\/a> first appeared on Star<\/i><\/a>.
