After her 'Dancing With the Stars' elimination, Hilaria Baldwin claimed people have always tried to beat her.
"First, this has been an experience that I never thought I would have and I’m so grateful," Baldwin noted. "I’m proud of — I’m a little jealous — but proud of those who get to go to practice tomorrow."

The yoga instructor was also disappointed because she felt she let her kids down.

As OK! reported, an insider claimed Hilaria "completely lost it" backstage after the elimination.
"She was livid," the source dished to gossip columnist Rob Shuter. "She thought she was a frontrunner and couldn’t believe it was over. When the cameras stopped, she went off."
The insider claimed the Manual Not Included author even accused producers of "sabotaging" her, alleging she was given the wrong music and that the choreography for Disney Night wasn't up to par.
"She said it wasn’t ‘Disney enough,’ and blamed Alec’s friends for not voting," the source stated.
A crew member admitted Hilaria Baldwin's send-off was 'heartbreaking.'
The source noted Hilaria was a "rollercoaster of rage and tears," while a crew member revealed, "It was heartbreaking. She wanted this to be her redemption moment."

Many fans also didn't mind her farewell, as they thought she had an unfair advantage in the competition since she has prior ballroom dance experience.
