The latest Dancing With The Stars Season 34 Episode 8 ended with Danielle and Pasha's elimination. They were one of the low-scoring performers for the latest week. While they scored 34, fellow pair Andy Richter and Emma Slater received 30.

After Danielle and Pasha's elimination was revealed, she reflected on their journey on the show. Danielle noted that they were sharing a story of difficulties faced by a woman. Despite all the attempts to do things, women are not appreciated.

"We are telling the story about how difficult it can be to be a woman in a society where we are somehow always too much and also never enough. No matter what choice you make, whether you work inside the home or outside the home."

She added that since she was 10, she had been in the public eye and on television. Danielle recalled being put under the microscope and receiving criticism for her choices.

"I've made terrible mistakes. And I'm resistant to it because it's triggering so many things in me," added Danielle.
