Ilona Maher doesn’t do quiet! The Olympic rugby star is as bold off the field as she is on it, always speaking her mind with an infectious confidence that’s made her a fan favorite. So when she joined Dancing With the Stars for the last season, she brought that same big personality to the dance floor, nailing performances with strength and style. Well, Rugby Star has joined DWTS for the latest season, and something happened, and in true Ilona Maher fashion, she didn’t keep it to herself. No filters, no hesitation, just raw, unfiltered reality. What really happened?
Well, let’s just say Ilona Maher’s Dancing With the Stars journey isn’t just about the cha-cha and quickstep, but it’s also about survival. And on this particular night, survival meant figuring out how to open a door. Stuck on the DWTS tour bus in the middle of the night, desperate for a bathroom break, Maher turned to social media for help, she posted a story on 2 April with her picture, captioning it: “I’m on the DWTS tour bus, and I literally cannot figure out how to open the doors to go pee,” she shared in a late-night rant. “Everyone is sleeping. I have tried everything. Send help. I am getting irrationally angry. If this continues, I’m gonna knock this door down.”
Her frustration only grew as she pondered the reality of tour life. “Is this tour lyfe? Should you not need to pee like normal people?” she asked before weighing her options. “Send help or at least like a bottle to pee in. Taking calming breaths now.”
