Maxim Chmerkovskiy He had some choice words for Anna Delvey After her first dance on TV. In a strange twist, Kelly Cutrone Step up to the plate to defend Anna.
Even before the 33rd season of Dancing with the Stars aired, viewers were unsure about Anna’s choice for the role on the show. The idea of her portraying a criminal character was not to the liking of the audience, and was even criticized by other stars.
Anna tried to make the best of it all. She even decorated her ankle display. But people didn’t accept it. She angered a lot of viewers after her first dance. However, perhaps no one was more angry than Maxim, and Kelly wasn’t going to let that happen.
Kelly Cutrone Calls Max ‘Pathetic’ for Criticizing Anna
On September 23, TMZ published an article titled “‘DWTS’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy Calls Anna Delvey a ‘Slut Dancer!’” The quote was taken from Maksim’s recent appearance on a TMZ podcast. It didn’t take long for the article to pop up on Kelly’s radar. She took to her Instagram Story to criticize Maksim’s point of view.
“I thought that meant sexy!” she wrote, disbelieving Maxim’s real choice of words. Kelly also wrote, “Do you mean sassy or are you so pathetic that you can’t go on a show having to attack someone? No one cares what you think.” Oh my god. Anna later retweeted Kelly’s words, adding, “Who is this guy called Maxim? He must be poor.”
Maxim’s comments seemed oddly bitter. And some of his comments were not far off. It’s odd that DWTS would make fun of a convict at the expense of other stars who would certainly be up for it. However, Maxim’s attack on Anna seemed oddly personal, especially when he called her a bad dancer. Does he have no sympathy for his exes? Or even his past self?
Dancing with the Stars continues to air Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC and Disney+.
Tell us – what do you think of Kelly’s words to Maxim? What do you think of his initial comments?
