Miss Moth was unmasked during the Jan. 13 episode, and fans were shocked to learn that activist and survivor Elizabeth Smart was behind the elaborate costume.
Prior to the reveal, Miss Moth hinted at her childhood trauma. (Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped from her home in 2002, and she was held captive for nine months.)
“You know, moths don’t seek out the spotlight. It draws us in, whether we want it or not. That’s the story of my life. One day, I was just a regular moth out of the view of the public, the next day, making headlines with the president,” she shared.
“I had a traumatic experience that not many could have gotten through. And, in turn, my life changed forever. But, I’m a survivor. So, I decided if I couldn’t escape the spotlight, I would shine a light on the things I cared about most.”
During her clue segment, images of math equations popped up, as did pictures of the White House. Elizabeth met with President George W. Bush after her kidnapping, and she became an activist for human trafficking and sexual assault.
After her identity was revealed, Elizabeth broke down in tears over her experience on The Masked Dancer.
Who will be unmasked next? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
The Masked Dancer airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
