Hilaria Baldwin<\/strong> is still thinking about her time on Dancing with the Stars<\/em>.<\/p>\n The 41-year-old and her partner, Gleb Savchenko<\/strong>, were eliminated from the ABC competition show on October 7, and she opened up about the exit once again.<\/p>\n Baldwin \u2014 who received hate from fans after claiming she was \u201cbullied off the show\u201d<\/a> \u2014\u00a0 explained to E! News<\/em><\/a> in a story published Tuesday October 21 that the series\u2019 voting structure is slightly askew.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a strategy I guess the voters learn,\u201d the wife of Alec Baldwin<\/strong> said. \u201cWhere they\u2019ll get together and they\u2019ll vote for everybody else besides the couple that they don\u2019t like. They basically push up everybody else\u2019s votes to be able to drown down the couple that they don\u2019t want to make it.\u201d<\/p>\n She added that production told her at the start of the series that DWTS<\/em> is at its core, a \u201creality show.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not really a dance competition, it\u2019s a reality show.\u2019 I think that where my heart got hurt a bit is that I just love to dance, I want to have fun. And there is gonna be a certain level of drama and some negativity,\u201d the mother of seven added.<\/p>\n Despite her elimination, she still is \u201cgrateful for the experience\u201d and had fun dancing on the series.<\/p>\n The yoga instructor took to Instagram Live on October 12 following her departure and alleged that she was bullied off the competition.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/staging.starmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dish-B-Hilaria-178843__K7A7727.jpg_master-e1758301977784.jpg\")
