Ilona Maher is a hero on and off the field. The Olympian turned Dancing With The Stars stand-out dancer shared a scary story time on TikTok about a recent nail salon trip. Ilona explained she went to get a pedicure near closing time at a nail salon and was one of the last customers. She was in the salon with two women when a man came for a pedicure. At first, Ilona Maher didn’t think much of it, but after a while, the DWTS contestant realized she’d been sitting there a long time.

Ilona Maher Shared The Cautionary Tale With Her “DWTS” Fans
Even though she thought her nails were dry and she was ready to go, the employees encouraged her to stay. She explained in her TikTok, “I wait there for, no joke, an extra half hour.”
The man finally left, and the woman confessed to Ilona they were afraid to be left alone.
“And then they said, ‘Sorry we kept you so long, we just wanted you to be here with us while he was there,'” Ilona explained. “And I was like, I totally understood then why they did that.”
Ilona Maher fans who follow her Olympic career or her skills on DWTS know she is tall and very strong. Her physique isn’t lost on her, and she told TikTok that she has their backs.
“And I want you to know you can keep me for as long as you want, you can keep me for another hour, I’ll cancel my plans if you want me for safety or you want somebody there just to be a presence. It’s dangerous out there.”
Ilona ended her video quickly, “Seriously, stay safe ladies.”
“THIS! Is the definition of a girls girl,” a fan wrote.
This person agreed and would love to befriend the DWTS contestant, “The way I would feel SO SAFE walking through a dark parking lot with Ilona Maher.”
Ilona, you are amazing. Thank you for just being you!
