Following elimination, Dancing With The Stars contestants traditionally swing by Jimmy Kimmel Live! for their first post-ousting razing. But on Wednesday night, only three of the four scheduled guests walked out on stage.

After being the first woman eliminated on the ninth season of DWTS, “I Try” singer Macy Gray was reportedly too distraught to appear on the program.

“Macy’s absolutely torn up about being eliminated,” Macy’s professional partner Jonathan Roberts explained. “She put her whole heart into the show. She feels like she let her fans down.”

“What’s a Grammy compared to a mirror ball?” he joked.

“It’s been cool,” Macy said just after learning that she and actor Ashley Hamilton would be the first stars to go home. “Ballroom isn’t my calling exactly, but I learned a little bit and we had a good time.”
