‘DWTS’ Maks Chmerkovskiy Fed Up With Cheryl Burke’s Trash Talk
Former DWTS pro Maks Chmerkovskiy is absolutely fed up with Cheryl Burke’s negative views on the show.
After parting ways with Dancing With The Stars, Cheryl launched her very own podcast. On the show, she invites former competitors to discuss their experiences with the series. She’s acknowledged launching the podcast burned bridges with her DWTS colleagues. And now, it seems like Maks Chmerkovskiy might think poorly of her too.
Maks Chmerkovskiy Wants Cheryl Burke To “Move On”
Cheryl Burke and Maks Chmerkovskiy spent quite a bit of time together on Dancing With The Stars. They had intense moments, but it seems like they got along for the most part.
But now, Maks is speaking out against his former coworker’s podcast, Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans.
“All she has about the show is just negative stuff,” the father of three shared on the Behind the Velvet Rope podcast. “You know, that’s all she talks about. Like for so long and the only foundation for your conversation is negativity? The only people you get on your show are those who were wronged or feel like they were wronged and they’re there to express their wrongness or whatever.”
Despite previously appearing on Cheryl’s show, Maks now feels aggravated by the entire thing.
“You know, I also did her show,” he continued. “Had I known that that was the topic, not the topic, but her direction, I would never do it because I don’t want to be a part of that.”

Maks also pointed out that Cheryl also drops new episodes around the same time DWTS airs on ABC. He feels like she’s trying to detract from the series.
“I mean everything is just directed at, you know [the show],” Maks revealed his thoughts. “I think Cheryl needs to do a lot of soul-searching. She needs to do a lot of discovery, you know. … You got to move on. And she hasn’t.“
DWTS Denied Cheryl Burke A Spot As A Judge
When Len Goodman announced his retirement from the show, Cheryl Burke publicly proclaimed she wanted his seat. However, the show kept Derek Hough as the third judge and opted not to add a permanent fourth seat. Maks Chmerkovskiy believes that’s partly to blame for her ire.
“Even when I was on the show, I was about what’s next,” Maks continued in the interview. “When Cheryl was on the show she was not about what’s next. It was about being a Dancing With The Stars professional for the rest of her life. And the second she did not or she was no longer, she wanted a different position on the show. And when she didn’t get it she got super upset and came out with a podcast where she’s going to be trashing the show that made her who she is. So that to me makes no sense.”
