""I'm sorry, Jan has absolutely no business being a pro on Dancing With the Stars. There's zero foundation, technique, quality, understanding of the partnership," Chmerkovskiy said on the most freeing public forum, his wife's podcast, The Penthouse With Peta, on October 24. "Bro, I'm getting emotional. It is absurd. And this is unreal, how blind we have to be, and, God forbid, say what's obviously there. He had no idea what [the] foxtrot is supposed to look like. How are you gonna expect him to teach it and deliver that message in a format that is completely different from even ballroom dancing?""
"Back on her home turf, Affleck took to TikTok to support and defend her partner and former Eras Tour ladder lover. "Me when anyone talks trash about Jan," Affleck captioned the video where she pretended to write something on her phone angrily. Ravnik was right beside her, miming that the anger "doesn't represent me or what we need to be doing." DWTS pro Ezra Sosa, who's partnered with Jordan Chiles, commented his support: "I'll ride at dawn for this man." If Chmerkovskiy and Ravnik really wanna dig into it, there's only one solution: a dance-off."
Maksim Chmerkovskiy harshly criticized new Dancing With the Stars pro Jan Ravnik, accusing him of lacking foundation, technique, quality, and partnership understanding. Chmerkovskiy voiced the critique on his wife's podcast, accusing Ravnik of not knowing how the foxtrot should look and of being unable to teach or adapt ballroom technique to the show's format. Jennifer Affleck defended her partner Ravnik on TikTok, playfully demonstrating support while Ravnik downplayed the anger. Fellow pro Ezra Sosa publicly offered backing for Ravnik. The exchange has escalated on social media and prompted suggestions of a settling dance-off.
