Dancing With The Stars Season 21: Maksim Chmerkovskiy Says He Will Never Return To DWTS; Maks Dishes On Hope Solo And Which DTWS Stars He Slept With

Dancing With The Stars Season 21:  Maksim Chmerkovskiy retired from the Dancing With the Stars in 2014, after 14 seasons. Pro dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, 35, recently bashed 'DWTS' and dished on which dance partner he slept with.

Chmerkovskiy also threw major shade on his former Dancing With the Stars partner Hope Solo in an Oct. 13 interview on the "Allegedly" podcast hosted by Matthew Cole Weiss and Theo Von. Solo and Chmerkovskiy were dance partners on Season 13 of the hit ABC reality show in 2011.

"She's just a sh--ty person," Maks told the Allegedly about the professional soccer player. "You can have a sh--ty life growing up, but if you're a bad person, there's no excuse for that."

Maks and Hope ended on bad terms after Solo accused Chmerkovskiy of slapping her in the face during rehearsals in her book "Solo: A Memoir of Hope," which came out in 2012.

"He manhandled me in rehearsals from the start, pushing me, whacking my stomach, bending my arms roughly," Solo wrote. "One day, Maks was trying to put me in a certain position and hit my stomach so hard with his open palm that I had a red handprint there for the rest of the day."

Before the accusations, the pair were good friends. Chmerkovskiy has denied Solo'a allegations, according to Us Magazine.

Chmerkovskiy also lit into his former ABC series. When asked if he would be returning to Dancing With the Stars, he said "It's a permanent thing. I'm not coming back."

"I'm honest to a fault... maybe I was just not a good person for 'Dancing with the Stars' because for me, it was never about politics or trying to look good for the camera... I had one job: I had to teach somebody how to dance... and I didn't care how I looked in the process."

Chmerkovskiy remembered a "giant fight with my producers."

When asked if his comments might affected his brother Val, Maks said "it's his problem."

Maks claimed he was "heavily censored" because "Mickey Mouse was writing my checks."

Chmerkovskiy also spoke out on his alleged affairs.

"I just want to be on the record. I did not have any sort of relations with any of my partners... well, one, back in the day. Willa Ford, we dated for a while."

Dancing with the Stars pro dancers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd reunited but were unrecognizable as part in an undercover operation for a segment on ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday.

Maks and Peta aged 30 years as Bob and Ronda to take part in an advanced dance class at New York's Steps on Broadway, according to Yahoo News.
