Selma Blair has left Dancing With The Stars. She made the decision due to ongoing bone trauma from her MS diagnosis. 

The actress announced her exit in an emotional message before her performance on Monday night (October 17). In the video, she spoke about recent MRIs that she had done, after which she said:

‘I can’t go on with the competition. I pushed as far as I could.”

The next day, Selma shared a heartfelt message on her withdrawal from the competition. Taking to Instagram, she said:

“What this show has given me is beyond measure in spirit life. What my partner @sashafarber1 has gifted me, a sense of self in my body, will be forever felt. What you all have shown me is love. Precious love.

And I will spend my days returning the swell of grace. Each celebrity and pro has embraced me with the love of family. I am so honored. So truly honored. I weep with genuine appreciation. And gratitude. What an evening to remember.

I will perfect this waltz Sasha so thoughtfully gave me. And I will dance it with wisdom and ease and great serenity. When my knee and hip heal. And I will remember these steps under a full moon of memory. With love. ♥️”
