Alix Earle breaks down in tears after ‘DWTS’ rehearsal
Alix Earle broke down in tears after leaving “Dancing With the Stars” rehearsal with partner Val Chmerkovskiy.
The influencer appeared distraught in the video shared via Instagram on Friday, which she paired with a voiceover of Kim Kardashian saying, “I think that there are days where I feel like I know it all, and then I wake up the next morning and I’m like, ‘Wait, none of that made sense.’”
“Reality of the first two days of me learning a new dance HAHAH,” she captioned the post.
Earle, 24, and Chmerkovskiy, 45, are currently learning a routine to Billie Eilish‘s 2019 track “bury a friend” for Tuesday’s “Halloween Night” theme.
Fellow dancer Whitney Leavitt agreed with Earle’s candid post, writing, “Girl same 😭”
“You’ve got this! 💗💕💖,” the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star added, as the podcaster responded, “ily 😭.”
Leavitt’s “DWTS” partner and pro Mark Ballas also penned a message of encouragement to Earle, writing, “You’re amazing Alix & you got this 👊🏼.”
“Boy Meets World” star Danielle Fishel, who was eliminated from “DWTS” on Oct. 21, also echoed Earle’s sentiments, writing, “Love you, Alix. I scream into a pillow every night for the first two days.”
Several other fans also gushed over Earle, telling her she was “doing amazing.”
“You got this, you’re crushing it 🙌,” one person wrote.
“Queen. You are crushing it. Give yourself grace. So proud of you!!!!” another added.
In May, Earle was announced as a Season 34 contestant and was later partnered with Chmerkovskiy, a three-time mirrorball champ.
Shortly after the season aired on Sept. 16, the internet personality got candid about her brutal injuries, including her missing toenail and bruised collarbone.
“I don’t think I can walk,” she said in a video shared via TikTok, following a week two rehearsal.
“I thought Week 1 was hard, the stamina, the stuff we’re doing,” she shared, explaining she was learning a jive to Lou Bega’s “Mambo No. 5.”
Earle told viewers that she was doubting herself “a little bit” but was going to “keep trying” even though she feels “like someone put [her] in a drying machine and just bruised and beat up every part of [her] body.”
The “Hot Mess” podcaster also stated that her lifestyle has changed since the start of the show, including her ability to share everyday social media content.
