The best support. Jaime King has been by Selma Blair’s side for over 20 years through The Sweetest Thing star’s ups and downs.

Following the October 17 episode of Dancing With the Stars, King shared her thoughts on watching Blair’s exit, which “of course” made her emotional.“I’ll cry over a glare, over anything. … I mean anything that Selmi does is always — it’s ineffable, really.

She’s one of my oldest best friends, so we’ve been best friends for over 20 years, you know. And her strength is unparalleled and her humor and her brilliance and just the fact that she could even do [DWTS],” the White Chicks actress, 43, told Us Weekly exclusively at the DKMS Gala on October 20. “I’m like, ‘Selmi, that makes me feel even lazy,’ because she’s busting her butt doing this while dealing with MS and dealing with all of her seemingly physical limitations.”King continued, “She’s just a shining example of what it means to go out into the world no matter how you’re feeling and being of service to other people.”During the Disney+ Monday, October 17, episode of DWTS, Blair, 50, opened up to her partner, Sasha Farber, about how she couldn’t continue on in the competition due to health concerns related to her multiple sclerosis. “You know I’ve been monitored and in touch with my doctors this whole process.

I had these MRIs and the results came back and it just all adds up to I can’t go on with the competition,” Blair confided in Farber during their rehearsal.“With a chronic illness, you do have special considerations and my body is definitely taking a hit.
