VIDEO: Maksim Chmerkovskiy Blasts Dancing With The Stars Judge Len Goodman On Live TV
A bitter meltdown from DWTS pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy rocked the Ballroom during live television.
None of the judges were that enthusiastic about the dance, but after receiving 20 out of 30 points for his routine with partner Hope Solo, Maksim let loose on veteran judge Len Goodman.
In Goodman’s assessment of Hope Solo’s dance (to Rent’s Seasons Of Love) Goodman remarked: “I always feel like there is so much there, and for some reason it hasn’t come out… This is your worst dance of the season in my opinion.” This was all Chmerkovskiy needed to hear, sparking a live argument.
When Goodman defended his perspective by saying “I’ve been in this business for 50 years,” Chmerkovskiy snarked, “Then maybe it’s time to go!”
Chmerkovskiy, known for confidence that wavers closer to attitude, continued his tyrade with host Brooke Burke Charvet, taking credit for the reality competition’s success. That’s right, the whole show’s success. “With all due respect, this is my show. I help make it what it is.”
Yikes.

NEWSFLASH ! The entertainment industry IS a popularity contest!!! The show isn’t just about skill. That’s called a “dance class”. The judges focus on skill and ability but overall it’s largely about audience appeal – which is TOTALLY FAIR in entertainment. Personally, Hope and Maks arrogance turned me off weeks ago. I wouldn’t give you 10 cents to watch them perform anywhere. They should BOTH go home.
