Danielle Fishel Speaks Out After Her DWTS Elimination

Danielle Fishel is giving her fellow contestants their flowers.

Following her elimination from Dancing With the Stars on November 4th, the former Boy Meets World star shared how much she enjoyed connecting with her fellow contestants, Dylan Efron and Whitney Leavitt.

Danielle, who was removed from the competition with her partner Pasha Pashkov during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week, posted a heartfelt message praising the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star’s resilience.

On November 5th, the 44-year-old shared on Instagram how much she appreciates someone who consistently puts themselves out there despite facing a lot of negativity. She said those who know this person love and admire them, and they’ve made her own experience wonderful. She ended with a thank you to her friend.

Whitney, who shared first place with Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy thanks to her partnership with Mark Ballas, spoke about the energy Danielle brought to her performances.

She told Danielle, ‘You have such a positive and uplifting energy – you make everyone around you feel better. I love you and I’m so thankful for our friendship. I’m really proud of everything you’ve accomplished.’

Over the last eight weeks, Danielle has formed a close friendship with Daniella Karagach, Pasha’s wife, after meeting on the show Traitors. Danielle recently shared how she and Daniella often spent their free time together.

She started, ‘It’s my first day. I’m going to miss our tradition of getting food from the trailer every Tuesday, and I’ll even miss sharing my compression sleeve with you.’

I was so impressed with Danielle during the dance competition, and she had amazing support! It wasn’t just Whitney and Dylan cheering her on; her husband, Jensen Karp, was a huge champion too. Even after she was eliminated, he publicly praised all her hard work and dedication. He’s such a great guy, and a wonderful dad to their adorable sons, Adler, who’s six, and Keaton, who’s four.

He shared on Instagram how incredibly proud he is of this woman. He celebrated her reaching the Elite Eight, but stressed that to him and their sons, she’s always been number one. He called her journey remarkable and praised her strength.

Danielle, who received a breast cancer diagnosis last August, delivered a powerful and uplifting performance of Aerosmith’s “Dream On.” It was a truly triumphant moment for her.

I absolutely adore watching JoJo Siwa rehearse! She said something that really stuck with me: even though she might seem small, she feels incredibly strong and wants to really show that power. She explained that this new song is a huge inspiration for her to chase her dreams, especially after her cancer diagnosis last year. It really made her realize how precious life is and that you have to make the most of every moment.

That’s just how I choose to look at things,” she said. “Since being diagnosed, I’ve stayed really positive. I actually feel quite proud, which isn’t something I experience often. I want to demonstrate that it’s possible to overcome challenges and come out stronger.
