Dancing With The Stars 2011 Gossip: Hope Almost Quits, Ricki Injured Again?

News

A huge rumor has been spreading that Hope threatened to quit the show after an interview with E! News’ Ryan Seacrest, but she has set the record straight

“I’m not quitting!” Hope told E! “It caused like this huge rumor. But when I said I almost quit, I had a really rough day, [Maks] and I were fighting, I was just like I wanted to leave the studio and be like, ‘I’m done I don’t need this.’ But, I mean, I came to my senses within two minutes. So two minutes of my life on Dancing With the Stars I almost quit.”

Meanwhile Ricki Lake’s injury issues continue after practicing a routine with Derek that involves six lifts.

“Not gonna lie,” Ricki admitted. “I’m really, really hurting. Look at this, look at my feet! They’re purple, and this is like a nice indigo color, this is from when I fell on my knee on Monday…I have bruises everywhere now. They’re all from [Derek] because it’s very physical. It’s more than I could imagine, particularly now because now there’s lifts, I don’t know how he’s doing it because we have, I don’t know, six lifts or something.”
