Phaedra Parks reacts to ‘Dancing With the Stars’ elimination with Val Chmerkovskiy: ‘I didn’t feel bad about it’

Phaedra Parks’ journey on “Dancing With the Stars” has come to an end.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star and her pro partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, were eliminated after dancing a jazz routine to “Cruella de Vil” from “101 Dalmatians” for Tuesday’s Disney Night.

“I didn’t feel bad about it,” Parks, 50, exclusively told Page Six in the ballroom after the show. “I think everything happens in its right season. I mean, I’m excited that I was able to do the show.”

The reality TV icon noted that the dance competition series was a “big sacrifice” for her and her family. Not only did Parks have to spend time away from her two kids, but she also had to put her other projects on pause so that she could be “totally committed” to the show.

“I had a wonderful time,” she exclaimed, “but all good things must come to an end.”

Parks has starred on a plethora of reality TV shows over the years –– including “Traitors” and “RHOA” –– but she told us that “Dancing With the Stars” has by far been the “hardest” show she’s participated in.

“It’s definitely the hardest show I’ve done, hands-down, because it’s so physical,” she explained. “I’m used to doing shows where I use my mind and my personality, but this show, you have to use your legs and your arms and move very, very fast.”

Parks told Page Six that although she didn’t walk away with the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, she still feels accomplished — thanks to all the support she’s received from her parents, kids and the fans who voted for her each week.

Chmerkovskiy, 38, echoed those sentiments, while also raving about the great partnership he and Parks established during Season 33 of the dance competition show.

“I had a blast,” he told us. “She’s so funny and so down to earth, and it was fun for me to work with somebody who has accomplished so much and yet carries herself in such a warm, humble way. You can be fabulous, you can be successful and you can be kind all at the same time.”

As for what Parks will miss the most from her “DWTS” journey? The reality star told us it will be the whole team, from the cast to production, who was a total “class act” and “just absolutely perfection.”

Prior to her elimination, Parks and Chmerkovskiy danced and jived to a myriad of dances –– including a rock ’n’ roll-themed paso doble, a heartfelt rumba and a soulful quickstep.

Luckily for fans, they won’t have to wait too long to continue seeing Parks on their TV screens again. She’s featured on the new season of “Married to Medicine,” which premieres Nov. 24 on Bravo, along with the upcoming season of “RHOA.”

Meanwhile, the seven remaining “DWTS” couples — Danny Amendola and Witney Carson, Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber, Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach, Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson, Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten and Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold — will return to the ballroom next week for the highly anticipated Halloween Nightmares episode.

“Dancing With the Stars” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
