Suffice it to say there is no love lost between the Dancing with the Stars judges and season thirteen couple Maks Chmerkovskiy and Hope Solo. The latest snipe session began with Carrie Ann Inaba during a semi-final critique.
The female judge was providing feedback about their Argentine Tango, “The thing about lifts, the ins and outs of lifts are what’s really important.” Then she abruptly stopped and addressed Maks, “You can smile like that all you want. That’s fine, Maks, but the truth is …” He chimed in, “It has nothing to do with me.”
Solo spoke her mind during the post-performance interview while waiting for the judges to announce their scores. She said, “I think from day one they wanted me off the show but here we are in the semi-finals. Maks was smiling because we should be smiling. So Carrie Ann, thank you. Maks was smiling. This is my partner. Finally, we’re happy!”
Off camera Maks showed that he really was irritated when he was asked by a backstage reporter about the newest drama. He said, “F*** Carrie Ann… I have no clue what the hell she was talking about.”
