Backstage tension still exits on Dancing with the Stars after Maks Chmerkovskiy and Vanessa Lachey allegedly got into a heated feud. Although Maks and Vanessa reportedly made up and will dance together Monday night, emotions are supposedly running high from last week’s incident.
Maks didn’t dance with Vanessa in last week’s DWTS episode due leaving the episode for “personal issues.” Alan Bersten danced with Vanessa for her week three performance.
Maks’ absence was immediately viewed as a potential feud between the dance partners. Rumors emerged that the celebrity and pro dancer were butting heads due to their strong personalities and inability to find a middle ground. A spokesperson with DWTS soon announced that Maks would be back for this week’s performance. Additionally, Maks tweeted his apologies to Vanessa for missing the performance, taking “full responsibility” for not showing up.
