EXCLUSIVE: DWTS' Maksim Chmerkovskiy Slams Anna Delvey Talks New YT Show | The TMZ Podcast

[@pattyh2410]

I agree, Maks. Anna should not have been cast.

[@giuseppeianniello1998]

Just learned that Week 2 will have a double elimination. She’ll be definitely the first to go. Ezra Sosa is very talented, he deserves a better partner.

[@littlebigkicker]

i agree to

[@assassssasa]

I feel bad for Ezra Sosa having a criminal partner in his first season

[@JeordieFellner]

Poor guy. Well Rylee had Harry

[@donnackk5860]

I have a teenage granddaughter who watches the show. She’s been watching since she was very young. It’s a bad example to glorify a con artist and make it look ok to commit crimes then Get on a major tv show! Between the bad vetting for bachelor and this. I don’t know about A BC.

[@anna5169]

Netflix did it first. They're the whole reason she's famous- "Inventing Anna" a whole show about her and her crimes made for entertainment.

[@gdhaney136]

Thank you, Max. Anna is a sociopath.

[@sophie20001]

He is 100% correct about this. We should not praise or promote a narcissistic criminal, who takes NO accountability for her actions. I have no desire to watch this season until she is gone. Everything is so backwards now.

[@lizdahl847]

No worries. The criminal dancer was eliminated tonight. And true to form made an a** of herself on her exit. But I blame production for casting her and creating all the backlash😮😮

[@sophie20001]

@@lizdahl847 I heard!! Now I can watch the season.

[@kam3660]

💯 correct. Carrie Ann also needs to learn how to read the room. Telling the audience to give her a chance was ridiculous and offensive. If her goal was to get people to turn it off and not watch this season she succeeded! Anna is arrogant and has zero remorse or relatability.

[@charlenecharchar]

@@kam3660 I absolutely agree. Carrie was wrong/way out of line saying what she said. Anna face told you everything you need to know about her. 😊

[@kam3660]

@@charlenecharchar At least she’s gone now. Her final remark definitely showed her true colors.

[@molkamelds4307]

Thank You Max for such wise comments about DWTS. I will not going to watch it this year. I do miss you on that show.

[@maricelavaldivia-kr2pi]

Agree, I’m also not going to watch this year. Bored with the same trophy winners i.e. Val, Daniella, Jenna…..

[@molkamelds4307]

@@maricelavaldivia-kr2pi Yeah, and I just don’t like all that fake drama, fake romances, rumors and Anna as a contestant this year… like how did she got even approved, you know. I really enjoyed first seasons. It was interesting to watch how the real Stars were practicing with professional dancers and how they were getting better and better each week. They had less craziness back then I think. I honestly started to watch my home country DWTS to see if they have less drama and more dancing, and yep, producers are doing the same-thing there. So I stopped watching after all. I really like DWTS professional dancers, they are amazing but by now they all know what they are signed up for. It’s just a show with some dancing.

[@kristabjork5360]

​​@@maricelavaldivia-kr2pii disagree with the 'hate' on Daniella. I feel like she gets the odds stacked against her every season. She has beat the odds less than a handful of times and won the mirrorball. Jena and Val however,while they're phenomenal dancers, it feels like they're being shoved down our throat. They're always being featured front and center like the Hough's, never given the old partners who struggle to move.

[@JeordieFellner]

I am not either. Boycotting due to the unfair 3 vs. 1 recent POTUS debate.

[@Zee-zj2uh]

I'm not viewing DWTS either. Shame on ABC!

[@YvetteR-ep2hc]

I agree with Maks on the Anna situation. God bless Maks and his beautiful family.

[@reneepope-munro8115]

Maks is spot on. She should never have been cast. I’m really loving their recaps, and as an Aussie, Peta still has touches of her Okker accent, which makes me smile haha

[@teza2922]

I agree with the Anna comment , i also think DWTS should mix somethings up. I dont want to see pros dancing around the old people.

[@littlebigkicker]

lmao like barabra and bobby bones

[@caitlinForde]

Normally, I am all for giving people a 2nd chance, but with the Anna situation... I feel a mixture of disappointment and resentment. She just doesn't seem to have any remourse for being a convicted felon. Definitely NOT someone you want kids to be influenced by or exposed to!

[@leeannekilgore9477]

I love it! Tell the truth Maks ❤❤❤

[@IdolEVP]

Ezra, Maks. Not Gleb. I feel bad for Ezra. Maks is a million percent right.

[@harena6267]

I have watched a few episodes and love the realistic honest way u show us

[@christina80997]

I miss Maks and Tony man. DWTS used to have such MEN🤌🏼

[@mariannenyangi6605]

Very well spoken!

[@darlenecruz4372]

I’m just wondering what the people that she scammed and stole money from are thinking. She did criminal things and now she’s on tv dancing! Good thing she’s not that great! I don’t thing she should be on the show. Just saying!!!!

[@sophie20001]

@@darlenecruz4372 why hasn’t she been deported yet?

[@patriciayoung2464]

She obviously was not grateful that they gave her a chance. Her responses like “I’m just glad I don’t have to do this dance again “. And say that she got nothing from the experience. Very bad attitude she needs to be sent back home by ICE

[@gracemarie7629]

100% True!!

[@michellemiles9966]

I had no idea who Anna Delvey was before the show. It was a clean slate for me, but the negatives just kept on piling up and crowded out any potential for connection. Her biggest deficit is not her past, it's her personality. I feel so bad for Ezra to be saddled with her. I was shocked and frankly angered by her parting comment because it was one of the rudest things I've ever heard and shows exactly why she should have never been there to begin with. She is the 'B' word.

[@charlenecharchar]

💯 Artem was replaced because he was arrested... BS Artem called 911 because his wife was throwing 👟👟 at him. Anna was hired for the show before Artem was replaced. Anna shouldn't be on the show. It's a family show. She's wearing the ankle monitor. The producers replace Artem and have a convicted felon on. DWTS is not the same w/o Artem. Sending lots of 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 to Artem. 😊

[@kristabjork5360]

Artem was not going to be on the season before the DV incidents. Lindsey Arnold has talked about how the contract works. You can be under contract for the show without being on the show on TV on any given season. He has been cut before, wouldn't be a huge surprise for him to not be used this season.

[@anna5169]

You couldn't be more wrong on that- the pro lineup was already told to insiders before that incident even happened with Artem & Nikki. It was known he wasn't on the show this season. Koko also isn't on this season and she was the last few seasons. Keo hasn't been on in several seasons the same with Sharna. They're never guaranteed a spot. Artem has talked about it in the past, Sharna has talked about it, Cheryl has talked about it and Lindsay has talked about it. MULTIPLE pros over the years have talked about how the contract works and how they never know until about 2-3 weeks before the premiere, if they're getting a spot on the pro roster for the season.

[@anna5169]

​@@kristabjork5360Cheryl and Sharna have also talked about how it works over the years and I think even Sasha has too. Hell even Artem has said it in the past. They're under contract but not guaranteed a spot.

[@morningglory147]

Love maks the family man!!!!

[@pambrown5382]

Anna was a very bad choice. In my opinion, incarceration didn't do her much good and I am glad she got the boot.

[@lisaricci5482]

Obviously everyone is going to take her comments as proof she hasn't changed much.

[@Sweetheartem]

I agree

[@TheLegendofMedia]

Video starts @ 10:27

[@lisapetty6029]

Gleb.. you meant Ezra ! Poor Ezra

[@Roma-SRyan]

And Artem was cleared just as er thought. Nikki was the abuser

[@catrionalambert1714]

Wow how many times did she cutoff her Cohost !!!

[@robertamorey629]

Dancing with the criminals, shouldn't have happened.

[@persiphonehellecat]

Didn't like Gleb this season. He carried on about having a younger partner with some dance skills. So they broke down and gave him a hot partner. And what did he do? Every time he was talking to Alfonso or julianne, he had his hands all over her. Like he was trying to make his ex wife jealous. I was glad when they got kicked off.

[@99Jshort]

Too much about Artem. Rather insulting to Maks.

[@Nicolej7]

So basically everyone is saying the No One who has ever been in jail/prison does not deserve to become better and improve there life. This is what's wrong in the world in my opinion

[@Estframa]

Did you not see the ankle monitor!? She is actively ON HOUSE ARREST fighting deportation but somehow police allowed he to do the show. Your statement does not fit this situation

[@jessicaalbright7429]

No, that is wrong. She is CURRENTLY on house arrest with that ankle bracelet. She is NOT an ex con, she is a CON. They are glamorousing crime, and that is not OK.

[@anna5169]

​@@Estframashe actually served her time in jail and wasn't able to be deported BECAUSE she was in jail. She was supposed to go back to her home country after she got out but got permission from ICE to do the show and therefore has to have an ankle monitor since she doesn't have authorization to be here legally.

[@sophie20001]

@@Nicolej7 even though she served her time, she takes no accountability for her actions. If she is allowed to stay in the country, she will return to her crimes. She IS not was a con artist. Also, I find it hard to believe she studied ballet.

[@kimschannel5567]

Of course everyone does deserve a chance to redeem themselves, but it doesn’t need to be on a national television show where they earn money and get so much publicity. Let people redeem themselves in private until they prove that they are truly reformed and ready to positively contribute to society.

[@gigimom1965]

Y que pasó con Artem? Total los cargos los quitaron y el salió absuelto de todo.

[@stephanier7738]

It draws the wrong attn bringing her on show. I actually stopped watching it and it's my favorite show. Bc she was on it. So I think it backfired on dwts and hope they don't do it again.

[@maxhubmann1696]

Worst casting decision in the history of “Dancing with the Stars”

[@LovedByYou]

So they basically brought him on to do an entire podcast about Artem…… weird

[@persiphonehellecat]

I agree Anna was a poor casting choice. I didn't watch the weeks she was on. She disgusted me.

[@JoshRyO97]

Everybody acting so rightous about a dancing competition when a rapist and felon are running for potus. Our priorities as a country are so convoluted

[@sabrinatoner1696]

I respect everyone's opinions and conflicting feelings about Anna Delvey being cast on DWTS this season. However, i think people are quick to forget that DWTS has had many other controversial "stars" in previous seasons - Paula Dean, Olivia Jade, Ryan Lochte, Floyd Mayweather, Adrian Peterson, just to name a few. Some of these contestants were even convicted of VIOLENT offenses. I'm in no way supportive or not supportive of their decision to do this, but this is a massive show, watched by hundreds of thousands of viewers, so I think it's safe to say that this was a very calculated decision on their part.

[@christina80997]

Maks will always have the most honest perfect answer that still respects everyone involved 🤌🏼 Incredible. I could listen to him talk about anything and still feel satisfied even if he doesn’t directly answer the question out of respect
