PureDWTS Season 16 Dorothy Hamill And Tristan MacManus Early Departure Media
I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house last night on Dancing With The Stars when Dorothy Hamill announced she had to step out because of her injury!! She mentioned that maybe she could come back in the future? I wonder if TPTB could explore this possibility? What a beautiful lady and soul. Just like in the 70’s on the ice rink, Dorothy swooped into the dance floor to touch our hearts and, what’s more, with class, elegance, grace, and charm. Thank you Dorothy Hamill!! You will always be an Ice Princess as well as a Dance Princess too in so many of our eyes!!! Below is she and Tristan with On The Red Carpet, Access Hollywood, and ET Online after the show last night talking more on her departure. The cast has a few things to say about Dorothy and Tristan in the ET Online video as well. Stay tuned. If there is more on these two (Good Morning America?), we will be sure to add it to this post…
UPDATE: Dorothy and Tristan weren’t on GMA this morning, but, Victor, Lindsay, Gleb, and Lisa weigh in on her departure. You can watch it HERE.

I felt so bad for Dorothy
It sounds like it was a different decision but the right one.
Hopefully she can come back for another season.
I feel so bad for Dorothy. You could tell she was in pain with almost every movement she made both Monday and Tuesday nights. I’d love to see her get the problem taken care of and be able to come back and try again.
You know what struck me in watching the GMA interview this morning. Victor seemed unable to articulate very well – God knows at that hour in California I would be able to articulate either! – and was foundering and the media-savvy Lisa jumped in and saved him. This is why I like her. I wouldn’t be sad to see the backside of the other three, but Lisa is a cool broad in the very best of the terms.
Are the eliminated contestants doing Jimmy Kimmel this season?
I hope so, but, Dorothy and Tristan didn’t do Jimmy last night.
Such a shame she had to withdraw. All the best to her!
I’m so sad that Dorothy had to withdraw. I was looking forward to watching her and Tristan dance. She is such a lovely lady, and seems to have the sweetest personality. It would be great if she recovers and can be on the show in another season. We never get to see much of Tristan. I hope at some point he gets to stick around long enough to be in the finals.
Dorothy has shown such grace and class in this difficult time. I
love how much she cares about Tristan and wanting the best for the
other contestants. I too hope she recovers quickly and can come back
to compete on another season.
It was hard watching these interviews because you can see how distressed Dorothy is even though she knows she made the right decision.
I hope she’s able to make a full recovery and that the show does consider asking her to be on another season.
And now I’m back to another season without Tristan. *sigh*
I just hope she heals well from whatever’s going on and that they invite her back if she’s able.They do need to make it up to poor Tristan next season though. He has paid his dues several times over.
