Hilaria Baldwin Says She Was "Bullied Off" Dancing With the Stars

Hilaria had also used World Mental Health Day to address the “very coordinated, strategic bullying” she received while on Dancing With the Stars.

“I would be remiss if I didn't address the elephant in the room,” she said in an Oct. 11 Instagram video, “which is that there was some bullying going on aimed at me over the past few weeks.”

“One of the most common things that people say to me when they meet me—when they actually meet me—is how surprised they are by negativity that I receive,” Hilaria continued, “because in reality, I am none of the negative things that some people say and that breaks my heart.”

The former yoga instructor also called out the “campaigns of hate” that she sees as an issue plaguing public-facing people. 

“They take lives and they demolish mental health, and it's tragic how rampant this behavior is, and countless suffer daily,” Hilaria explained. “Some of the people who have harassed me for years and misrepresented and outright have lied about me, I know that they'll only be satisfied when I'm gone. It seems that nothing I can say or do will be right in their eyes.”

Despite the negativity, Hilaria is appreciative to her supporters who helped get her cast on the show.

“I'm so grateful for this experience that I had on Dancing with the Stars,” she shared. “I never thought I would dance again, and I have all of you to thank for writing into the show and making this wild experience happen.”

Hilaria added, “I'm so blessed that I got to share this with my family. I loved everybody I met there, and I'm really excited to cheer on my cast mates.”
