Julia Stiles Cries Following ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Elimination: “I Had So Much Fun. I’ll Always Have That.”

Julia Stiles’s time on Dancing With the Stars has officially come to an end. The 10 Things I Hate About You star danced an incredible paso doble with Ezra Sosa (after an emotional and very painful week of practice thanks to a rib injury), but they ultimately didn’t make it to next week. I had so much fun.” She elaborated to Extra, saying “It’s a bummer.

I had so much fun on this show, so much fun. I loved see you every day [*points at Ezra*], I loved working with you. I feel like I grew so much emotionally, spiritually, physically, all of it.

It’s sad because I feel like I was just getting started, but I’m really, really glad that we had that dance because I was able to prove something to myself that I needed to prove.” Julia added that she was able to ultimately manage her rib pain after “being able to find my confidence and my emotional strength.”
