Debi Mazar Goes to Hospital After 'Dancing with the Stars' Performance

Mazar's tweet reads, "'DWTS!' After premiere, hospital. I'm okay -- torn muscle in neck to chest! Foxtrot ... cruel and sadistic [dance]. If only judges knew."

The actress also attached a photo of herself wearing a neck brace to her tweet.

Mazar was first up in Tuesday night's "Dancing" competition, and she and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy earned a score of 16 for their salsa. Judge Len Goodman commented, "It was full of energy, and I think you're full of potential, but I think you have a lot of work to do." Carrie Ann Inaba felt similarly, saying, "I think you have a lot of guts, but I think what you lack is a connection from your character to your moves."
