The TMZ Podcast
‘DWTS’ alum Maksim Chmerkovskiy is making it very clear that the controversial socialite Ana Delvey –electronic ankle bracelet and all–no place on the dance floor!
Maksim spared no effort in “The TMZ Podcast“…telling us that he thought Anna was a ‘bad dancer’ and adding in her lackadaisical attitude will definitely not win him fans in the competition.
Maksim also dismissed the excuse that Anna’s shaky Cha Cha was just nerves… saying he didn’t believe it for a second because fooling people takes courage and self-control — something he says she has in spades.
But Maksim didn’t stop there — he criticized the idea of letting a “professional liar” compete while countless dedicated dancers who put in the work were overlooked. You’ll want to check out the full clip to catch all of his hot takes!
Of course, Maksim isn’t alone in his discontent — Anna has been fending off a wave of criticism since news of her casting broke, proving she’s got a lot more than just dance moves to deal with!
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba dove headfirst into the drama in the season premiere, asking critics to give Delvey a break despite its dark history.
While Anna tries to get around her naysayers, Maksim is busy enjoying family bliss with his wife, Peta Murgatroyd. The couple is giving fans a glimpse into their happy family life with their new YouTube series, “The Maks and Peta Show.”
