DWTS Halloween Injury
On Halloween night, Elaine Hendrix was scheduled to perform a stunning Argentine Tango, but she was taken to the hospital right away after suffering a sudden rib injury during rehearsals. This incident was captured on backstage video and was verified by hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro as well as her partner Alan Bersten. She was hospitalized just hours before broadcast because her ribcage tightened up, making it impossible for her to move or breathe. While fans missed her live performance, her rehearsal footage was released, gaining praise and solid scores from all judges.
Official Response & Past Injuries
"I want to keep dancing, and I'll be back as soon as the doctors clear me," Elaine wrote in a social media post to her fans from her hospital bedside. She disclosed that the injury resulted from her "Defying Gravity" performance the week before. She also mentioned that she has always had to deal with pain because she had a titanium foot joint put in after a vehicle accident in the 1990s that left half of her foot immovable. Her tenacity and "grace and wisdom on the floor" have been widely commended by judges, particularly Carrie Ann Inaba and Derek Hough.
