At least Sara Evans has a solid long-term relationship with her fans.

Making peace with the millions of people who voted her into the final six on Dancing with the Stars last week, Evans explained in a videotaped interview aired during Tuesday's episode that something "very personal and traumatic" happened after the last results show that led her to file for divorce from her husband of 13 years the very next day.

"Things went drastically downhill, 100 miles an hour," the country singer said, adding that she thought she "would have had a nervous breakdown" if she had not dropped out of the competition.

"The good thing is that I'm so used to performing," Evans continued, "and as you know, as entertainers we have that ability to just sort of flip the switch. Turn it on, do the dance and, you know, make it through the day. That's what I was hoping was going to happen throughout the entire life of the show."

As she stated last week, Evans feels that her family deserves all of her attention at this time.

"I needed to be right there," she said, "to look at my son at all times to see the expression on his face and, you know, see if he's crying. I put him on the phone with our pastor immediately. I knew that nothing in my career, no television show, nothing was more important than that.

"I have felt so much love and support from the fans, even before all this happened. It's so humbling and I'll never forget it. I will never forget every second of this experience. I just want to, you know, thank everybody from the bottom of my heart and I will come back for the finale if I'm invited."

And who says you can't take it with you? The burgeoning ballroom dancer also said that she has tapped her Dancing with the Stars partner, Tony Dovolani, to choreograph her tour next year.

Evans' estranged hubby, Craig Schelske, issued another statement Tuesday in response to all the developments that have transpired since she filed for divorce last Thursday, also addressing his wife's prerecorded TV appearance.

"My attorneys have put ABC on notice that I deny the false allegations in the divorce complaint, that those false allegations should not be repeated in the broadcast, and that Sara and ABC should consider the impact of her televised statement on our children, whose well-being remains my highest concern," Schelske said.

Those documented allegations include charges of adultery with the family's married nanny, Alison Clinton; inappropriate marital conduct (watching porn, verbal abuse) and, according to an amended divorce petition filed Monday, wrongfully withdrawing money from one of the couple's joint bank accounts.

Regarding Clinton's involvement in the case, Schelske said: "I deeply appreciate the courageous decision of our friend and former employee Alison Clinton to step forward and tell the truth in the face of the cruel and false allegations leveled against her by Sara. No one should have to go through what Alison is being forced to endure, and she is in my prayers."

Clinton stepped forward multiple times, actually, issuing a press release Monday and granting interviews to the Nashville Tennessean, Extra and People.

She denied ever having sex with Schelske, telling the Tennessean "he was never more than an absolute gentleman with me. He never once made a pass at me or put me in any kind of compromising position, nothing."

In her press release, Clinton "categorically rejected the sad, unlawful and despicable attempt by country music star Sara Evans to assign part of the blame for her broken marriage on an alleged affair with Evans' husband, Craig Schelske." The former co-president of Evans' fan club stated that is willing to sign an affidavit denying the allegation and has demanded to file a multimillion-dollar lawsuit if Evans doesn't make a public retraction.

The Born to Fly singer served as matron of honor at Clinton's July wedding, while Schelske was a groomsman and the couple's three children were flower girls and a ring bearer.

"I don't want to go into a lawsuit," Clinton said in a statement. "I don't want to talk bad about anybody. These are just good people who are having trouble right now."

On Monday Evans' attorney, John Hollins Jr., requested that a judge freeze the couple's Nashville accounts and Schelske's private account in Oregon, where the $274,000 he allegedly withdrew on Thursday was deposited.

In response to Schelske's various statements, Hollins told the Tennessean: "Mr. Schelske is quoted in the press as saying he has done nothing wrong. He has the same information that we have on his computer unless he has destroyed it. The reason Sara Evans filed for a complaint for divorce when she did was to protect her children."
