Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko, ex-wife Elena Samodanova, and daughter Olivia amid allegations that Elena gave their teenage daughter weight-loss medication without Gleb's consent or appropriate medical supervision.
Gleb Savchenko is making some shocking new accusations against his ex-wife, Elena Samodanova. And this time, they involve their teenage daughter’s weight!
The former Dancing With the Stars pro claims his ex has been making cruel comments about their 15-year-old daughter Olivia‘s appearance. And what’s even more concerning is that he now alleges she supposedly gave the teen weight-loss medication, too!
WTF?!?!
According to new court documents obtained by TMZ on Tuesday, Gleb says he learned about the alleged treatment directly from Olivia. He claims Elena gave their daughter the medication without discussing it with him first or ensuring she had proper medical supervision.

And apparently, that’s only part of what’s been going on behind closed doors!
Gleb also alleges that his daughter has endured some pretty harsh punishments at home, including being ignored by her mother for extended periods of time and having her bedroom door taken away.
Seriously??
The 43-year-old is now turning to the courts over his concerns about the girls’ well-being. He’s asking for restrictions that would prevent either parent from treating their children in ways that could damage their physical or emotional health.
But if you’ve been following this family drama, you know things between these exes have been tense for a LONG time!
Back in July, Gleb accused Elena of keeping their daughters in Hong Kong when he believed their move there was only supposed to be temporary. Elena pushed back, maintaining that the girls had established their lives overseas.
And when the dispute escalated, Gleb came forward with messages he believed backed up his side of the story.
Despite everything that’s happened, Gleb isn’t currently seeking to have Olivia and her younger sister, Zlata, relocated from their mother’s home in Hong Kong. What he does want, tho, is protection for his existing time with the girls — so that those arrangements can’t be changed without both parents agreeing in writing.
There’s also been another troubling accusation in this custody fight. Gleb previously alleged Elena and her fiancé sent Olivia inappropriate messages about him, some of which he described as sexually explicit. Elena denied those claims.

As for the newest accusations about Olivia’s weight and the alleged punishments, it’s unclear whether Elena has responded publicly. And it’s important to point out that these are Gleb’s allegations, not findings established by the court.
Whatever is happening between these parents, we just hope Olivia and Zlata are getting the love and support they deserve. They’re the ones who matter most here.
