News

On Good Morning America, Maksim Chmerkovskiy wasn’t backing down from his controversial comments on Monday’s Dancing With The Stars.

“The last time I apologized was to my grandma when she was dying of cancer,” Maks said. “I definitely have nothing to apologize for,” Maks told Robin Roberts via satellite from the DWTS studio. “I have nothing to apologize for to Len [Goodman] and certainly not to Carrie Ann [Inaba]. She can make all the faces she wants.”

“This is your worst dance of the season in my opinion,” Goodman told the pair, citing his 50 years of experience.

“Maybe it’s time to get out,” Maks retorted.

Inaba scolded the dancer saying, “Don’t be disrespectful like that.”

Maks is particularly upset with the judges for their nasty comments about Chaz Bono, calling him a “little pengiun” and an “Ewok.”

“Why is it that the judges are allowed to compare us to animals and say stuff they think is funny when it’s nothing constructive at all and we can’t say that they’re wrong?” he asked.
