He’s standing his ground!
After Maksim Chmerkovskiy‘s outburst to the judges during Dancing With The Stars earlier in the week, Derek Hough publicly disagreed with the way the fellow dancer handled the situation, but he’s not getting the last word!
Maksim says:
“Derek Hough has been very supportive of his personal career on the show. When you say judges have been generous, with all due respect, if I had Nicole Scherzinger followed by Jennifer Grey followed by Ricki Lake, I probably would not be very upset with the judges either.”
“I had a long conversation with my dad and I don’t regret anything. That’s why I think I’m misunderstood in this situation. Everyone is waiting for me to bow my head and plead for forgiveness. I have nothing to apologize for. I’m in the business because I love it. I can’t really lose with remarks like this.”
“One thing I’m not going to embrace is pointing fingers and disrespectful remarks. Why are judges allowed to compare us to animals and point their fingers and we can’t say we’re work and show our opinion?”
“I love the show, and am very lucky to have this second family. I am looking forward to next week’s dances and focusing on that with Hope at this time. I want to also thank our fans for being loyal and supportive.”
Hey! If that’s how he feels, then that’s how he feels!
Regardless of whether you agree with him or not, you have to give the man props for sticking to his guns!
But since we mentioned it…Team Maksim or Team judges?
