Former 'DWTS' Pro Has Brutal Assessment Of 'Professional Liar' Anna Delvey—And Ouch!

Maksim Chmerkovskiy spoke out about Delvey on The TMZ Podcast on Monday, and he didn't have much positive to say about her as a person or a dancer.

Anna Delvey, a convicted con artist known for duping the wealthy socialites of NYC, was one of the recent “stars” on Dancing with the Stars. She was a divisive pick for the role, to be sure, and at least one alum went on the record calling her a “professional liar’ and a “sh**y dancer.”

Maksim Chmerkovskiy, a former pro dancer from the show, lambasted Delvey’s casting and dancing on The TMZ Podcast this past Monday.


“She wasn’t great. She was very kind of standoffish in a lot of things…She’s just a shitty dancer and a personality that’s not gonna really help her in this competition.”

Chmerkovskiy, who went on to call Delvey a “professional liar,” was angry that Delvey took the place of a star who might have actually wanted to be on the show, not to mention the insult to the professionals she was dancing and competing with.

However, Delvey’s actual pro partner on the show, Ezra Soza, has remarked that disagrees with the public’s perception of Delvey, saying that he had found her “crying in the bathroom.”

Delvey was eliminated from the competition Tuesday night, answering, “Nothing!” when asked what she would be taking away from her time on the show.

The majority of people agreed with Chmerkovskiy.

J.D. Vance Faces Backlash After Saying He Hopes His Wife Usha Will Be 'Moved' To Convert To Christianity

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he said during a Turning Point USA event that he hopes his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, who is the daughter of Telugu-speaking Indian Hindu immigrants who hail from Andhra Pradesh, will convert to Christianity someday and "see things the same way" that he does.

A woman in the audience had the opportunity to ask Vance how he squares having a Hindu wife and mixed-race children with his anti-immigration rhetoric, a nod to the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown that is tearing families across the country apart.

Even Trump's NASA Director Had To Set Kim Kardashian Straight After She Said The Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—who is also NASA's Acting Administrator—issued the weirdest fact-check ever when he corrected reality star Kim Kardashian after she revealed herself to be a moon landing conspiracist.

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

Biggest Financial Mistakes People Make In Their 20s

It can be really fun to experience something for the first time that you've never really had before, like a disposable income.

For the average person, there isn't generally a lot of excess money to spend frivolously when they're a child, so when they hit their twenties and have their first "real" or "more important" job, they might find themselves in a position to enjoy some of the finer things in life.
