Kherington Payne's Story

[@zeenamistry]

Kherington!! I've been in awe of you since 2008! Thank you for sharing something so personal. I can't wait to see what's next!

[@buddyhoward]

This was such an incredibly brave testimony. I firmly believe that her struggle, and the way she responded, can help so many others. I hope she is well today.

I’ve been in love with your work since season 4 of so you think you can dance (I was 11 at the time) and since then growing up I have also been through my own struggles. Hearing this makes you even more of a greater inspiration, getting through everything that you have been through. I honestly cannot wait to see more and see what wonderful things you have to create. It’s amazing to see you back at it again, remember keep chugging along (something that helps me get through the day).

It’s so great to see you on KZbin Kherrington. The dance world has a dark side most people don’t talk about. I’m so happy you’re doing well! You’re a beautiful person and I can’t wait to see what you are going to create on KZbin. You should go to VidCon!

[@palmerina4006]

Madly, a dance video brought me here. Such talent and beauty, never expected to hear this story. Strength and respect sweet girl. Dance on

[@Mikenopolis]

Wow that turned dark fast. I’m glad you are recovering from those painful years. Never knew behind that great smile was so much pain. Keep chugging on

[@jennatracy3691]

It's so amazing to see one of my biggest childhood role models share her story❤️ It's really inspiring and helpful to hear you struggled with similar issues as myself. Just shows that we are all human. Thank you for being so brave. I have been wondering about you for awhile and I'm glad you survived your pain. We love you Kherington!!

[@briannefiero4004]

Im so impressed by you in so many ways and very happy you were able to get clean and find your happiness. I am still very proud to say that i named my beautiful little girl after you and i hope she will be inspired by you. Looking forward to more videos.

[@kiwimaracuia9834]

I'm happy you're back. You've been my first huge dance inspiration ♡

[@lisathedancerr]

You've always been one of my favorite dancers since the second I saw your audition on SYTYCD. I love that you got back up on your feet and are doing well! I can't wait to see more videos! You rock :)

[@Cassaundramonique]

Congrats on your new journey KK. Thank you for sharing your story. Always rooted for you even from DP days. You’re a beautiful soul you got this!

[@linss]

I looked you up today which led me to your channel because I was watching some of my favorite sytycd videos from when I was in high school (I was in colorguard and spent pretty much all my spare time watching dance videos). I was wondering what you've been up to since I haven't seen you in anything in a while (I used to get so excited when I see you in movies!). I remember being so inspired by you. I'm glad to see you here, you're still an inspiration. It's hard being vulnerable like this, thank you for showing the world that life is all ups and downs, it's okay to admit to being at low points, and yes that means you still get to go on and try to have the best life this point forward. Best of luck to you and your family, and I would love to see you dance again on the channel (only if you want to of course).

[@wendybrown500]

I saw a video about Bravetown pop up and I was like is that........? That’s Kherington!!! I will be watching the movie ASAP. You are immensely talented and I have always been a fan. I am hopeful that you will continue on this journey of recovery so you can continue to share your beautiful talent to the world.

[@jacquelinesmith6712]

I have always been a fan of you Kherington. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I know that your passion is dancing and I have seen that in the 2009 movie "Fame" and throughtout the series "So You Think You Can Dance". I enjoy watching you dance and I hope you dance again because it just brings joy and happiness to all of us here. Hit all of us up if you need support. I send you lots of greetings and love from Vermont ❤.

[@amberquillmusic1511]

So brave for you to open up. I can See how hard that was. You inspired me then, watching you dance and you do now, talking about this.. Thank you! I hope you are well.

[@RobertSeemann]

Everyone has to walk their own path. No matter how crazy it may be. Truly hope all is good.

[@hpv3hpv35]

Thank you for sharing your story, Kherington. I'm sure the journey to where you're at right now wasn't easy. I'm glad you're able to overcame the struggle and reconnect with the fans after so many years. I'd love to see you dance again as it was what we fell in love with you with. So maybe you can make videos of you dancing? If it's possible maybe you can invite your sytycd 4 friends to dance with you on some videos and of course we would love to see your vlogs! Also shout out to Drew, you seems really nice and you guys complement each other well. Thanks for being there for Kherington! Keep going lady, we'll be waiting. :)

[@alexanderhodges4485]

This video will speak not only to friends, family and fans but those in the same place you were in. This is such a massive and incredible move on your part. Hats all the way off. You two are amazing.

[@biologixco]

I was a big fan before this video. I'm an even bigger fan now. You have so much courage. Wow.

I LOVED you on SYTYCD!!!! And I am very sad to read about #tWitch's passing.

[@gg1234554321]

YOUR BRAVERY IS AN INCREDIBLE INSPIRATION💗 Your audition for SYTYCD became engraved in my head and I was a declared Kherington fan since then. As a dancer I have always had my ups and downs also but hearing the pain that you went through made me feel like we were always on the same boat 🥺. Keep going and stay strong and keep sharing these inspiring stories it helps others know we are not alone💗

[@sarak5148]

Congrats on coming up on a year sober!

[@sophmoore]

What an incredible video.. I've been a fan of yours for awhile.. Having watched Fame, The Dance Scene, Born to Dance 😊 But can't believe the struggles you were going through with addiction. Take each and every day as it comes in your recovery process, thank you for opening up & being truthful about your experiences. Can't wait to see where you go from here. 💖 #LoveFromNewZealand

[@taylorandersen3720]

Yay! Loved this so much 😊 I’m so happy

[@djivreal]

[@buddyhoward]

Kherington, one question: the book that has been struggling to get out of you for ALL these years…where is it?

[@carriebuelt5763]

You are one brave woman. And I'm betting your mother is even braver. I said many prayers for you and I'm so happy that God answered mine and many many others. Thank you for sharing.

[@kristieomalley8781]

[@ericmccaw]

Look to the future! The past is behind you!

[@larascott7736]

Hey, thanks for sharing your story, I wasn't aware of everything you've been through and I'm so glad you're ok now! :) I don't want this question to be rude because it's not the point but I discovered you in Bravetown and this is from 2015, so were you on drugs while doing this film? :/

[@makreacts3494]

K.payne. like to see you in Australia. You will find yourself . You will be a film star here. Married and applying for long term Australian. Prince Andrew of jimbour.

[@samaramexillaura9660]

Danse way

[@jennatracy3691]

Kherington- do you feel any guilt for letting this amazing man into your life so soon after getting better, knowing you might relapse and end up hurting him in the future?

[@shelliec7909]

Jenna Tracy What a question....

[@justastrangerx]

I think that's not a very fair question. In every new relationship there's a chance of something not working the way we expected, for both. Yes, maybe this situation is more particular, but they decided to take that chance, love is never a safe game. And I bet that if it doesn't work out, she will overcome it, just like she must be working to be in a better place every day.
