Julia Stiles has spoken out after she and her partner Ezra Sosa were eliminated from DWTS, and both of them got very emotional about it.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the elimination, Julia said: \u201cThis has been such an incredible experience just physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, all of it, so I will always have that with me. And I\u2019m really, really glad that we were able to go out with a bang.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cReally sad because I\u2019m going to miss seeing this guy every day.\u201d Ezra was clearly struggling to hold it together as he replied: \u201cI\u2019m going to miss you too. She made me a better person. Oh, I\u2019m going to cry. I\u2019m going to cry.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cYou made me a better teacher, voyager, person. Just your openness and your honesty really. It touched me in so many ways, and I\u2019m just so lucky. I take a lot from Julia, and I\u2019m really grateful for this experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked how it felt now the news was sinking in, Julia didn\u2019t sugarcoat it. \u201cIt sucks, huh? It\u2019s a bummer, it\u2019s bummer city,\u201d she said. \u201cI had so much fun on this show, so much fun. I loved seeing you every day, I loved working with you. I felt like I grew so much emotionally, spiritually, physically, all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s sad because I feel like I was just getting started,\u201d she went on. \u201cBut I\u2019m really, really glad that we had that dance. Because to me, I was able to prove something to myself that I needed to prove.\u201d<\/p>\n
Viewers saw in the pre-dance package that Julia had been dealing with pain in her ribs, and she very nearly didn\u2019t make it to the dance floor at all.<\/p>\n
Explaining what she\u2019d been going through, Julia said: \u201cA lot of pain. But I was able to manage the pain, and Ezra talked to me a lot about how the physical and the mental are connected.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I think there was a bit of stress that was adding to it,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd so being able to find my confidence and my emotional strength helped calm my ribs down.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the first time Ezra has spoken about how hard Julia pushed herself. After a tough week earlier in the season, he wrote on Instagram: \u201cEven through the pain, all she wanted to do was keep going. I was literally the one having to tell her to STOP and rest.\u201d<\/p>\n
