Britt Stewart Says She Won’t Leave DWTS

Dancing With the Stars pro Britt Stewart has addressed reports that she might leave after she and Taylor Hanson were eliminated in the third week of the current season. In a Cosmopolitan interview, she reflected on the importance of her role to a young Black fan and said she has not yet accomplished all she hopes to, underscoring her desire to keep pursuing success on the show. Stewart, the first Black woman to become a DWTS pro, has faced several early eliminations, though she previously reached the semifinals with partners Daniel Durant and Johnny Weir. She also described feeling sad and disappointed by the latest elimination, while saying she remains grateful for the opportunity and is working to separate results from the experience itself.
