THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED BY ABC, but here's the article:

Us has learned exclusively that country singer and Dancing with the Stars hopeful Sara Evans has decided to quit the popular reality series effective immediately.

A source tells Us that Evans has decided to leave ABC's Dancing With the Stars for personal reasons.

"She is in the middle of a nasty divorce and it is too much for her to keep going," says the source.

When Us spoke to Evans on October 10, the singer gave no indication that she was even considering dropping out or that a divorce was imminent.

"I feel so loved and adored by my fans, and they know how hard I am working and how much this means to me," she told Us. " [My husband] is amazing, he loves it. He just thinks it is amazing to watch the transition of someone who had never danced before to someone who is really enjoying dancing, so he finds it phenomenal."

The announcement of Evans abrupt departure has left her fellow contestants and judges saddened by the news.

"If it is true, it is too bad because dance has a really healing quality to it as well, and I think the family of DWTS could be a great support system for her," says Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba. "I watch them care for each other and sometimes it is good to be around people who care about you and I think that would be good for her. But she has to take care of herself and take care of her life, and Im sure she is making a good decision for herself. We will all support her."

An ABC rep could not be reached for comment.

People is reporting it now and says her last show will be Tuesday. I'm guessing no other elimination on Wednesday then? :confused:

This is SHOCKING. Not the dropping out part, but the divorce. I REALLY hope that isn't true. Sara and Craig have been married for 13 years, and I would hate for that to be true.

I'm doubting the divorce part to be honest. Why would she go on TV to explain if it was bad news? Maybe she's pregnant?

Also, according to the article she was really praising her husband very recently, so I'm just having a hard time believing that.

Yeah, I hope it's just a rumor that got started. I even spotted him in the audience on Tuesday's show. She said they weren't having anymore kids, but I guess anything is possible.

I can't believe it. I feel awful for her.

WOW. That's awful. I can't believe it. :(

Wow... this is sad news. :( I wish Sara all the best...

Well it is true. Good for her for putting her priorities first.

Secondly, I am shocked she lasted this long on the show. She was not very good. She seemed to just not flow very well when dancing. Not good at all.

What I think they should do is bring back Willa (who was voted off last week) this week, so they have enough people. If they do, I hope Willa has enough time to learn the new dance.

Court documents state husband's adultery, pornography reasons for Sara Evans divorce

By Beverly Keel
Celebrity columnist


Sara Evans filed for divorce Thursday from her husband of 13 years, Craig Schelske, in Williamson County, alleging that he had committed adultery, verbally abused her and frequently watched pornography at home. On Thursday, Evans announced that she has dropped out of the ABC show “Dancing with the Stars” to give her family her full attention.

According to the document filed in chancery court, Schelske allegedly has on his computer at least 100 photographs of himself posing with his erect penis. There are several photographs of him having sex with other women, the filings stated.




“On his computers, husband maintains ‘Craigs Lists.’ Many of them involve requests for three party sex and anal sex. Husband’s ‘Craigs Lists’ are composed of personal ads on his personal sex engine involving him and prospective sex partners,” the documents stated.

The court document included an exhibit of nine recent “Craigs Lists’’ items stored in the temporary files of his computers.

Craigslist is an online ad service.

On Sept. 28, one of the children confronted Schelske, 43, at the couple’s Franklin home when he was watching pornography on TV, the filing stated. The couple’s children are 2, 3 and 7 years old.

Evans, 35, requested a temporary restraining order prohibiting Schelske from physically and verbally abusing her, exposing their three young children to pornographic materials of any kind, consuming alcoholic beverages to excess in front of Evans or the children, and taking their children to Oregon, which would interfere with her temporary and pending custody.

“Wife further alleges that husband has told wife that he is taking the children to Oregon and continually interferes with wife’s possession of and parenting time with the parties’ minor children,” stated the document.

The document alleged that Schelske frequently threatened Evans and “told her that she is crazy.” It also claimed he verbally and emotionally abused and harassed Evans.

Evans filed for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, inappropriate marital conduct and adultery.

"There's nothing else she could do under the circumstances," said Evans' attorney, John Hollins Sr.

Evans requested she be designated the primary residential parent and custodian of the children and that Schelske receive “reasonable residential parenting time” with their children.

She requested exclusive possession of their home and “reasonable child support.”

No court date has been set.



That is SICK!!! I feel SO bad for her. I really cannot believe it. I would have never guessed Craig to be that type. I met him before, and he seemed like such a nice person. No one deserves that, and having it publicly exposed makes it so much worse. I hope she is eventually able to pick up the pieces, and successfully move on with her career.

Ok, I smell something. I mean, that one dude who was on the show the last time around, he left his pregnant wife for his dance partner. Then, this time around, Shanna Moakley files for divorce from that no-good husband of hers (You go girl!) and now Sara Evans files for divorce!!!!!! Hmmmmm, is it going to be one of those things that if you do DANCING WITH THE STARS, your marriage is doomed????:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

:lol: Good point.

Although when you look at the "stars" on these shows, you have to admit that most of them aren't big time working stars.
Hey, maybe that's it! It's actually having a paying job that is putting the strain on thier marriages!

Don't give them ideas. :eek:

Ironically, Craig was one of the people who ENCOURAGED Sara to record this song. Apparently, he wanted it to be about his future!


Cheatin'

You say your every day
Is a bad dream that keeps repeatin'
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

How do you like that furnished room
The bed, the chair, the table
The TV picture comes and goes
Too bad you don't have cable
How do you like that paper plate
And those pork 'n' beans you're eatin'
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

How do you like that beat-up car
I think it's fair we traded
Your pick-up truck is running fine
It's a cozy ride for datin'
Yes, I've been out a time or two
And found the comfort I've been needin'
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

You made your bed and you're out of mine
You lie awake and I sleep just fine
You've done your sowing
Now you can do your reaping
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

What became of what's-her-name
After she spent all your money
Did she leave you like you left me
Sometimes life is funny
But I'll be glad to take you back
Just as soon as I stop breathing

Maybe you should've thought about that
Maybe you should've thought about that
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'
When you were cheatin'

Game, set, match for both Willa and Sara
This means that the field is reduced to four pairs effective immediately. Thus disqualifies the latter for this matter

NO! There will be no spinoffs of any kind to ruin DWS in a manner the show could be abandoned (withdrawn/cancelled) outright

I smell a spinoff!

Like I said before: Absolutely NOT!

ON THE NEXT "DANCING WITH THE STARS THE RESULTS SHOW"

Lionel Richie Performs Songs Off His New Album; Find Out How Sara Evans' Departure Affects the Show; Tysonia Sichinga, of Carson, CA Featured in Slim-Fast(r) Dance Challenge.

"Episode 306A" - Legendary singer Lionel Richie will have viewers dancing "all night long" as he performs, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show." With Richie singing "I Call It Love" off his latest album, "Coming Home," viewers will be treated to the sweet sounds of his soulful voice.

This week, in a stunning turn of events, country music singer Sara Evans has dropped out of the competition. In this results show we'll reveal live how the rest of the contest will unfold. The stars, dancers and hosts are all unaware of how Sara's departure will affect the competition, making for what promises to be a shocking revelation.

DwtS will break records this week in the ratings, I'm betting.

According to the news, Sara Evans last dance will be shown on the air, but not live, it's taped. Also, Willa declined to return to take Sara's place.

I think so too. I am not usually excited about it(I find the show boring), but I'm DEFINTELY watching tonight! I wouldn't miss this for anything. This has been all the talk on the entertainment shows the past few days.

The Nanny is on Inside Edition tonight flatly denying everything. Says she never had an affair with him(she's recently married). She's demanding Sara retract her accusations against her, or is threatening a multi-million dollar lawsuit. She even says she will take a lie detector test.

No one really knows what the truth is yet, but I find it very hard to believe this woman. She made herself sound highly unintelligent in the interview. I think she's just trying to save face so she can get another job in Nashville.

I feel so bad for Evans. I am not even a fan, but it is just awful when something like this pops in the news when you are in the spotlight like she was. I think she has been doing a very good job of keeping her composure while also maintaining a strong front!

Well, apparently Sara leaving saved Jerry's a$$!!!! :rofl: He was so shocked (as was I) that he was spared.
