Hilaria—who shares kids Carmen, 11, Rafael, 10 Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 7, Eduardo, 4, María Lucía, 4, and Ilaria, 2, with husband Alec Baldwin—was eliminated alongside partner Gleb Savchenko after their Star Wars themed dance on Disney Night. And while she later pointed to bullying after the show, she and Gleb initially took the news in stride.
“We’re okay,” she told E! News in a joint interview with Gleb after their elimination. “I mean, we’re not great, but we’re okay at the same time. It’s mixed.”
At the time, Hilaria emphasized that winning isn’t the most important thing.
“The first night we got here to LA … I said to my daughter, because I’m so open with my kids, ‘What happens if I get voted off right away?'” she reflected. “She said, ‘Mommy, at least you tried.’ And I hope they always know that: At least I tried.”
During an Instagram Live a few days later, however, she was dancing to another tune.
“I did get bullied off the show,” Hilaria said Oct. 12, referring to online criticism her four weeks on DWTS received. “I did, that’s for sure. That is for sure.”
