‘We Both Just Started Sobbing’: DWTS’ Elaine Hendrix Opens Up About Staying On The Show After Her Rib Injury

Dancing with the Stars brought the tricks and treats for Halloween Night on Tuesday amid the 2025 TV schedule as well as some surprises. The Parent Trap star Elaine Hendrix injured herself the morning of the show during rehearsal and had to be rushed to the hospital. Although doctors ultimately cleared her, she and partner Alan Bersten were unable to perform and judges and fans had to base scores and votes off their last full rehearsal. It was enough to keep them in for another week, and Hendrix is opening up about it.

Injuries are common on DWTS, unfortunately, as the pros and celebrities push themselves during their routine. Even Dylan Efron found himself in the ER at some point leading up to Halloween Night after his partner, Daniella Karagach, accidentally elbowed him in the nose. It was a bit more serious for Hendrix, who was feeling some pain in her ribs but, with a few days of rest, she’ll be back at it. Hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough stressed that she was not out of the competition and still needed votes to make it through to next week.
