Hilaria Baldwin isn’t walking away from Dancing With the Stars without telling her side of the story. The reality star, who shares seven children with Alec Baldwin, was eliminated on October 7 — and is steadfast in her claims that she was intentionally bullied off the show.
After Hilaria and partner Gleb Savchenko became the fourth pairing to be voted off the show during Season 34, The Baldwins star, 41, has repeatedly shared her belief that she faced “very coordinated, very strategic bullying” that ended her time on the competition, she shared via Instagram Live on Friday, October 10, per Us Weekly.
In another Instagram Live two days later, according to E! News, Hilaria further claimed, “I did get bullied off the show. I did, that’s for sure. That is for sure.”

Hilaria — who has faced backlash over the years over her accent and Spanish heritage controversy — further explained to Us Weekly that she believes that DWTS votes from her fans were overpowered by a “campaign” of haters on socials.
“I’m very new to TikTok. I’ve only been on a couple months. It’s interesting because there’s a lot of mean girls,” she told the outlet on Friday. “I guess what people were doing is they were having campaigns where they wouldn’t just vote for their favorite — because you can vote 10 times for a couple — they were voting for all the other couples except us, so they were boosting everybody else and trying to drown out my fan base.”
Hilaria’s fellow DWTS contestant — comedian Andy Richter — also spoke out about the internet hate Hilaria received.

Taking to his own Instagram account on Thursday, October 8, Richter said that it “sucks” Hilaria went home, noting how all the celebs on the series are always rooting for each other. “Everybody there works just as hard as everybody else and they all deserve to be there,” he said.
“I just don’t know why people have to be so mean,” he added. “But these are people. With families and kids,” he said. “And these awful things that get said, they’re heard by real people and they hurt real people.”
It’s been a rough week for the Baldwin family. On Monday, October 13, Alec and his famous brother Stephen Baldwin got into a car accident on Long Island.
The 30 Rock alum, 67, later confirmed to TMZ that he was doing “fine” after the incident.
