‘Dancing With The Stars’ Vanessa Lachey Opens Up About Her Breakdown During Rehearsals

Vanessa Lachey had an emotional breakdown during the rehearsals of Dancing with the Stars. The star opens up about the reason behind it.

In last week’s episode, Vanessa Lachey broke down in tears while they were rehearsing for the ABC dance competition. She revealed to The Talk that she felt beaten down on Dancing with the Stars and that she has difficulty learning how to dance, as reported by PopCulture.com.

Already feeling emotionally drained, Vanessa also suffered a toe injury, which is when all the emotions came out. Her nail got caught on her other foot and a part of it was pulled off. It was like a paper cut, and she was left crying on the floor.

The American TV personality is married to Nick Lachey, a former member of 98 Degrees. Vanessa dances with pro partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Nick also joined this season of Dancing with the Stars, partnering with Peta Murgatroyd.

Nick previously told the media he would not want to be part of Dancing with the Stars. However, Vanessa revealed on The Talk that talking to Jack Osbourne made Nick want to compete on DWTS, too. Jack said being part of the show is one of the best experiences he had in his life.

Meanwhile, the 11 remaining pairs will be dancing to a song inspired by their guilty pleasures in tonight’s episode of Dancing with the Stars.
