Julia Stiles faces injury and low scores on Dancing With the Stars

Actress Julia Stiles has expressed emotional and physical struggles while competing on ‘Dancing With the Stars’. During a pre-taped segment, Stiles revealed she is dealing with a painful rib injury, which has forced her and professional partner Ezra Sosa to consider omitting lifts and tricks from their routines.

In addition to the physical injury, Stiles addressed her disappointment regarding previous low scores from the judges. Following a Tango performance that received a total score of 16/30, Stiles noted the vulnerability of performing live compared to her experience in acting, where scripts and editors provide a layer of protection. Despite the setbacks, Stiles expressed a determination to continue the competition.
