Debbie Gibson Says ‘DWTS’ Was a Healing Experience

Debbie Gibson has expressed that her time on Dancing With the Stars was a very healing experience for her. Debbie and her dancing partner Alan Bernsten were eliminated from the show, but she said that overall it was wonderful for his struggle with Lyme disease.

“What’s that worth, really? Yeah, for me, I’ve overcome a lot of challenges. I started to think that I couldn’t count on my self and that I needed all this outside help to stay healthy. The inspiration of doing this has healed me more than any doctor, any supplement—anything. So that’s a really profound life moment. That’s what I take away.”

Debbie and Alan were the second pair to get eliminated from the 25th season of the show. They followed Shark Tank‘s Barbara Corcoran and Keo Motsepe.
