Rylee Arnold will be recuperating on the sidelines for the remainder of the Dancing With the Stars: Live Tour.
“Hi guys. I just wanted to give you an injury, ankle update,” Arnold, 19, said in a Tuesday, April 8, Instagram post. “Sadly, my doctor did not OK me to get back to dancing right now, and I will not be returning for the extension of the tour, which is just so sad. I’m going to be resting and healing at this time to make sure that my ankle properly gets healed and returns back to the way it was.”
Arnold noted that she’s “so sad” to miss the remainder of the live shows, adding that “all of you guys who are going are going to have so much fun.”
“It’s a show that I am just so proud of, so inspired by. Every single one of the dancers is the most talented people I know,” she said. “So it is such an amazing show. And I’m sad I can’t do these last nine shows for you guys, but I know that I need to take this time to heal, make sure my ankle gets back to where it needs to be. All of your guys’ love and support has meant the absolute world to me and I cannot wait to see you guys again and to get back dancing. I love you all. Bye.”
She captioned the post, “Update for you all love you guys 🥹❤️🩹.”
The comments section of Arnold’s upload was flooded with well-wishes from fans and DWTS pros alike. “goshhhhhh im gonna miss ya,” pro Ezra Sosa wrote, while sister and former DWTS pro Lindsay Arnold added, “Love you so much!!!”
