Since its debut, Dancing With the Stars has made headlines—sometimes for its surprising casting. One of ABC’s most controversial decisions came ahead of its 28th season in the summer of 2019, when it was announced that Sean Spicer would be part of the cast.

Earlier on Monday, 44-year-old Chmerkovsky, a former DWTS pro, appeared on the “TMZ Podcast” and slammed his alma mater ABC for casting Delvey, a 33-year-old convicted felon.

“For me, (Delvey’s) job was as a professional liar,” he told the outlet, adding: “You’re going to bring this person (on stage) and say, ‘Here’s a platform that a lot of people have been waiting their entire careers to be a part of,’ and also have a moment of personal history (where) they can say, ‘This is who I really am.’ Am I going to believe anything this lady says? Absolutely not.”

He honestly and bluntly assessed Delvey’s programme as “not very good” and “very indifferent”.

“You can blame it on nerves and say, ‘Hey, everyone’s human and this person isn’t used to being at this stage.’ Bullshit,” he said. “Wait a minute — didn’t she trick people into believing she was, you know, fully formed and unique? And that takes a lot of courage. It takes a lot of self-control to present yourself in a certain way, even when you’re that nervous. I don’t buy that ‘she was nervous.’ She’s just — a dancer, and (her) personality isn’t really going to help her in this competition.”

Delvey DWTS partner, Ezra Sosa, he defended her on Mondaysaying, “I know what she did was really controversial and wrong, and I will never be able to justify it to her or anyone in her life. It’s really hard for me because this person that I truly fall in love with every day in rehearsal is not the person that everyone sees in the media. No one deserves as much hate as she’s getting right now. She deserves a second chance.”
