Christie Brinkley is speaking out after her daughter Sailor Brinkley-Cook’s shocking elimination on Dancing with the Stars. The legendary supermodel took a full day before posting to Instagram after Sailor was unexpectedly sent home from the ABC celebrity ballroom competition on Monday night.
Sailor, who took her mom’s place on the show after Christie broke her arm in rehearsals, was at the top of her game this week after she scored a whopping 27 points for her “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” jive with partner Val Chmerkovskiy. Fans were shocked when it was later announced that Sailor was eliminated from the competition, presumably due to low viewer votes. The 21-year-old broke down in tears on-camera when her elimination was announced.
