‘Dancing with the Stars 22’: Kim Fields joins Jodie Sweetin on injury list

This has turned out to be a rather rough week for “Dancing with the Stars” contestants and injuries. First, the news broke that Jodie Sweetin was rushed to the hospital for a foot problem; now, we’ve also learned that Kim Fields also suffered from a similar problem.

Speaking per People Magazine, the former “Facts of Life” star explained that she met with doctors, and they advised her to miss some rehearsal time to recover. However, she wouldn’t do it, and she also apparently told her partner Sasha Farber the following:

“I’m begging you, do not change your original vision for this dance or for the rest of the competition … It would really disappoint me.”

We do really admire Kim’s determination, but at the same time you do really have to be careful when you are in this competition and the possibility for injury is around every turn. You don’t want to run the risk of getting sidelined for the remainder of the season, or also do something that could cause you problems beyond the show. Injuries for whatever reason have been fairly prominent with “Dancing with the Stars” as of late; Tamar Braxton and Kim Zolciak are just two of the participants who have stepped out for medical reasons.

Tonight, Kim and the rest of the Stars will be reprising some classic dances with new interpretations from their pros. The contestant with the lowest combined score from the past couple of weeks will be eliminated, and then the competition will press on. We’ll have a new review come later tonight.
