Tamar Braxton has revealed she will be exiting Dancing with the Stars due to health issues, which she told fans via social media on Tuesday.
She took to Instagram to post a photo with her partner Val Chmerkovski; with both of them wearing sad faces.
Braxton wrote, "With a Heavy heart I regret to inform you that my season of #dwts has to come to an end along with the rest of my tour dates with @musicbykem.”
“After yesterday's final #dwts performance I went back to the hospital (after the doctors didn't want me to leave in the first place) only to find out that I don't have pneumonia but something way more serious and that is having several P.E.'s (blood clots in both sides of my lungs).”
According to E! Online, Braxton and Chmerkovskiy were judged on their dress rehearsal performance during Monday’s show and managed to avoid elimination. Alexa PenaVega was sent home instead.
Braxton did make it to the show in time to do her group dance after getting released from the emergency room.
The Real co-host is the second contestant to have to withdraw from the competition due to health issues this season. The first was Kim Zolciak Biermann, who recently underwent surgery after suffering a mini stroke.
