Phaedra Parks and Val Chmerkovskiy React to Disney’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Overnight Elimination

Phaedra Parks’ journey on “Dancing With the Stars” has come to an end.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star and her professional partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, were eliminated after dancing a jazz routine to “Cruella de Vil” from “101 Dalmatians” for Tuesday’s Disney night.

“I didn’t feel bad,” Parks, 50, exclusively told Page Six in the ballroom after the show. “I think everything happens in its proper season. I mean, I’m excited that I got to do the show.”

The reality TV icon noted that the dance competition series was a “huge sacrifice” for her and her family. Not only did Parks have to spend time away from her two children, but she also had to put her other projects on hold so she could be “fully committed” to the show.

“I had a great time,” he exclaimed, “but all good things must come to an end.”

Parks has starred in a slew of reality shows over the years, including “Traitors” and “RHOA,” but she told us that “Dancing With the Stars” has been by far the “hardest” show she’s ever been on .

“It’s definitely the hardest show I’ve ever done, hands down, because it’s so physical,” he explained. “I’m used to doing shows where I use my mind and my personality, but this show, you have to use your legs and arms and move really, really fast.”

Parks told Page Six that even though she didn’t walk away with the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, she still feels accomplished, thanks to all the support she’s received from her parents, children and fans who voted for her each week.

Chmerkovskiy, 38, echoed those sentiments, while also gushing about the great partnership he and Parks established during Season 33 of the dance competition show.

“I had a blast,” he told us. “She’s so funny and so real, and it was fun for me to work with someone who has accomplished so much and yet carries herself in such a warm and humble way. You can be fabulous, you can be successful, and you can be kind all at the same time .”

As for what Parks will miss most about her “DWTS” journey? The reality star told us that it will be the entire team, from the cast to the production, who were a total “class act” and “absolute perfection.”

Before their elimination, Parks and Chmerkovskiy danced and hit a myriad of dances, including a rock ‘n’ roll-themed double step, a heartfelt rumba and a soulful fast step.

Luckily for fans, they won’t have to wait too long to continue seeing Parks on their TV screens. She’s been featured in the new season of “Married to Medicine,” which premieres Nov. 24 on Bravo, along with the upcoming season of “RHOA.”

Meanwhile, the remaining seven “DWTS” couples — Danny Amendola and Witney Carson, Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber, Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach, Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson, Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten and Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold — will return to the ballroom next week for the highly anticipated Halloween Nightmares episode.

“Dancing With the Stars” airs Tuesdays at 8pm ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
