Hilaria Baldwin Insists On Online 'DWTS' Bullying Claims, Says 'It Hurts Your Feelings'

Hilaria Baldwin continues to play the victim card.

The media personality, best known as Alec Baldwin's wife, recently doubled down on her claims of being bullied off the set of "Dancing With The Stars." She accused fans of running an elimination campaign against her to ensure she didn't get enough votes.

Hilaria Baldwin has been shrouded in speculation since joining the cast of "DWTS" season 34. She was paired with professional dancer Gleb Savchenko and eliminated during the competition's Disney theme night on October 7.

Hilaria has repeatedly addressed her exit from the dance competition, blaming critics for urging others to vote against her. She reiterated that her exit was due to their online manipulation of the voting system while appearing on the "Too Much" podcast.

During the episode, which dropped on the podcast's YouTube page on November 4, Hilaria explained to host Emma Paige that she witnessed firsthand how critics had campaigned against her. She noted that she would see them on social media, plotting to vote for other teams to ensure her elimination.

"They're gonna vote for all the couples besides me, or besides X person. So that suppresses your fan vote," Hilaria claimed. "It was because they were reaching out to everybody to do it. You open TikTok, you're like, 'Oh my God, this is sad.' It hurts your feelings," she added.

Hilaria stressed that she wasn't afraid to address the alleged elimination campaign publicly because it had happened to past contestants on the show. Although she knew some might condemn her for speaking out, she did not shy away from showing her vulnerability.

"I don't care. I'll be the person who's crying in front of the world because I'm gonna show my humanity," Hilaria declared. She implied that her openness had yielded unforeseen benefits, with those who allegedly voted against her coming clean in her DMs.

According to the yoga instructor, these people contacted her to apologize for their actions. Hilaria also clarified that when she claimed she was bullied off "DWTS," she meant online critics and not her co-stars. She assured fans that no one from the cast or crew had been mean to her.

Hilaria added that she wasn't addressing her exit to garner sympathy from fans, as she only wanted to share her experience. She stressed that people shouldn't feel bad for her because she had the time of her life on the show, declaring:

"I'm only a better, happier person because I did the show."

Before her recent comments, The Blast shared that a former "DWTS" contestant had shut down her bullying narrative. Bobby Bones, the winner of the dance competition's 27th season, called her out in a TikTok post for failing to accept her unpopularity.

Bones argued that Hilaria wasn't eliminated because of online bullying or an elimination campaign, but because she did not have a strong fan base. He explained that his victory on the show stemmed from his popularity, as his fans had actively voted each week to keep him in the competition.

Bones' response to Hilaria followed her bullying claims. Three days after her October 7 elimination, the media personality took to Instagram to address the end of her time on the dance competition.

Hilaria accused critics of running a "very coordinated, very strategic bullying" scheme to kick her off the show. She echoed similar sentiments in an October 12 interview, insisting the alleged elimination campaign against her drowned out her fans' votes.

The entertainer believed her skills weren't the problem, as she and her dance partner, Savchenko, did not receive the lowest scores for their routine on elimination night. However, the duo garnered the lowest fan engagement despite the show breaking records with over 40 million votes.

Before dropping her bullying narrative, The Blast reported that Hilaria had initially reacted to her elimination with grace. She spotlighted her husband, Alec, for helping her navigate the emotional ordeal, describing him as "a really good support."

Hilaria noted that she was "very grateful" to her husband for his love and support, recalling that he told her it was his turn to be her rock. Their seven children echoed similar sentiments, with the doting mom thanking them for supporting her.

Additionally, Hilaria was grateful for her experience on the show. She claimed her kids learned a valuable lesson through her participation, noting that she wanted them to know it was okay to try new things, regardless of the difficulty.
