Hilaria Baldwin Alleges Coordinated Bullying Caused Dancing With Stars Exit

Hilaria Baldwin, a contestant on Dancing with the Stars season 34, claims her early elimination was due to an organized online bullying campaign where viewers coordinated votes against her to suppress her fan support. She described discovering this orchestrated effort on social media platforms like TikTok, which deeply affected her emotionally. Baldwin stressed that this type of targeted bullying is not unique to her and has impacted other contestants, raising concerns about the integrity and fairness of fan-voted reality TV competitions. Despite the experience, she expressed no bitterness toward other contestants and emphasized the value of her experience on the show. Her situation highlights broader issues about how social media coordination can manipulate voting outcomes and potentially erode viewer trust. Networks may need to reconsider voting processes to protect the fairness of such competitions.
