Adele Zaikman Breaks Silence on DWTS Exit
23 Sep
Summary
- Zaikman expressed sadness about her short DWTS journey.
- Voting complications may have contributed to the elimination.
- Social media comments caused Zaikman more pain than elimination.
Adele Zaikman, who recently became a professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars, has broken her silence following her early elimination from season 35. Zaikman and her partner Conner Leavitt were the first couple sent home during the premiere.
Speaking on a podcast, Zaikman admitted to feeling sad about the brevity of her DWTS journey but acknowledged the competitive nature of the show. She suggested that potential voting issues, including a problem with online votes not being counted, might have complicated the results. Despite these factors, Zaikman is choosing to focus on future opportunities rather than dwelling on the past.
While Zaikman and Leavitt received one of the lowest scores from the judges, she indicated that the judges' scores were not the most painful aspect of her experience. Instead, the dancer revealed that negative comments on social media have caused her more distress, as they come from individuals who do not know her or her journey.
Zaikman concluded by emphasizing her desire to move forward, stating that she cannot change past events and is looking ahead. Her partner Conner Leavitt's wife, Whitney Leavitt, a former DWTS contestant, also shared her reaction to the elimination.
