The“Dancing with the Stars”drama just escalated. Gleb Savchenko posted a TikTok Sunday criticizing Carrie Ann Inaba’s judging, calling it“bulls—t”while backing Val Chmerkovskiy after Val was suspended for a week. The suspension followed a social media post referencing Will Smith and Chris Rock’s 2022 Oscars incident.
The tension started when Inaba gave Jenna Johnson tough feedback about a lift in her samba with Harry Shum Jr. on“Super Bowl Night.”Val defended his wife publicly, which led to the suspension. Gleb, meanwhile, argued the move wasn’t a lift at all, saying he would“never, ever, ever”call it out. Inaba responded to the criticism on Instagram Stories, and Tuesday’s“Dedication Night”is already shaping up to be must-watch TV, especially with Jenna Dewan set to dance with Alan Bersten.
So where do you stand: are the judges right to call it like they see it, or have the critiques gone too far? Tell us in the comments.
