Selma Blair was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2018, so she had to quit the popular dance reality show after five weeks.

American actor Selma Blair announced Monday night that she would not continue competing in this season of "Dancing with the Stars" due to health concerns. Blair, who disclosed her multiple sclerosis diagnosis for the first time in 2018, has performed well in the series over the previous five weeks. She stated, however, that her body "has taken a hit." Blair told her dancing partner Sasha Farber in a filmed segment that aired on Monday night that after undergoing MRI and other diagnoses, it has been found most unsuitable for her to continue in the competition.

"I've pushed as far as I could." Chronic sickness necessitates specific precautions, and this exertion has been excessive for the health of my bones. The actress said the competition could do extensive damage to her body. Blair and Farber finished their last Waltz dance to "What the World Needs Now Is Love." This is a dance for everyone who has tried and wished they could do more, but also for the strength in recognising that it is time to walk away.MS is an autoimmune illness that affects the brain and spinal cord and impairs brain-to-body communication. Blair discussed her struggle with the illness in the documentary "Introducing Selma Blair," which aired over the weekend in select theatres. The film depicts the actress enduring stem-cell therapy and chemotherapy, demonstrating the physical toll of the treatment on Blair's body.
