Selma Blair Leaves ‘Dancing With the Stars’ , Due to Health Issues Related to MS.
Blair was diagnosed with
multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2018.
CNN reports that on Oct. 17, she told her 'Dancing with the Stars' partner, Sasha Farber, that she can no longer compete on the show.
I’ve been monitored … I had MRIs and the results came back, and it all adds up to, I can’t go on with the competition, Selma Blair, on 'Dancing With the Stars'.
I’ve pushed as far as I could. With a chronic illness, you do have special considerations, and my body has taken a hit. It’s way too much for the safety of my bones. I could do extensive damage that I, of course, do not want, Selma Blair, on 'Dancing With the Stars'.
But before departing, Blair participated in one last dance
to the tune of "What the World Needs Now Is Love.".
This is a dance for everyone that has tried and hoped they could do more, but also, the power in realizing it’s time to walk away.
I am so, so grateful to be able to do one last gentle dance, Selma Blair, on 'Dancing With the Stars'.
Blair's friend and 'Cruel Intentions' co-star, Sarah Michelle Geller, took to Instagram to deliver a heartfelt message.
Selma I’ve never been so proud of you (and I’m often proud of you) You make the rest of us believe that we can do anything. That we can never give up, Sarah Michelle Geller, via Instagram.
I will miss getting to watch the happiness radiate from Selma each week as she stepped on stage, Sarah Michelle Geller, via Instagram.
@selmablair your love and friendship is the greatest gift.
I love you Blair, Sarah Michelle Geller, via Instagram
