Lauren Jauregui shared a heartfelt message with fans following her shocking Dancing With The Stars exit.
While she initially quipped she was “pissed” about the results, Lauren later clarified that her frustration came from being a competitive girly through and through.
“Please don’t ever put a mic in my face right after I get eliminated off of something on national television,” she joked.
“Honestly, I wish I could’ve ended on a much higher note than that night—and that was the true source of my frustration.”
What made the elimination sting even more? It was the very night she danced to Fifth Harmony’s “Work From Home”—with her former bandmates in the audience cheering her on.
Despite the disappointment, Lauren chose to focus on gratitude:
“I am so beyond grateful for this insane past month of my life—I have met such wonderful people and got to be a part of something that is so truly special.”
She also made sure to praise her pro partner Brandon Armstrong, describing him as a “solid human” and “incredible dance partner.”
“Thank you for making this experience what it was—for challenging me, supporting me, uplifting my essence, and for always being ready to crack a joke.”

Social media wasted no time voicing frustration at the judges’ critiques.
With half the season’s cast having prior dance experience and the other half coming in fresh, fans argue the scoring feels inconsistent.
If anything, Lauren’s early elimination is a reminder of how crucial audience votes are—you never know when a fan favorite will take their last spin around the ballroom.
