DWTS BOMBSHELL: Val Chmerkovskiy Sidelined After Carrie Ann Inaba Feud

Uh, let's begin with major Dancing with the Stars drama, okay? Shame, I'm gonna say it, you couldn't do this back in Extra or Access Hollywood. Shame on ABC. What are you doing? Really? TMZ fired an exclusive yesterday that Carrie Ann Inaba took Val Chmerikovsky, the professional dancer's Will Smith joke, as more than just a punchline, telling the human resources department that she felt threatened by the Dancing with the Stars professional. Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ, Carrie Ann was so heated over Val's remarks that she filed an official complaint with BBC Productions HR department demanding something be done. What did he do? You say, how bad could this be? First, a little backstory. Harry Shum Jr., that handsome, beautiful man from Glee. I remember him on Glee. He's a great dancer. He did a lift with the fellas. And you know the lift, apparently, is just a terrible thing. I remember Len. Rest in peace, God bless Len. Oh, I used to have so much fun with Len. I took him golfing at my golf club. He loved to golf, and he was always complaining about the lift. I don't like that. It's a lift. I don't. You're not supposed to lift. And if you do, I'm not going to give you, I'm giving you a sixth. Oh, boo. Bruno said he can live. Who cares? Look at this. Such a nice ass on him. Forget it. Live. I give you 10. 10. It's so spot on. But you're right. My mic flag fell off. I got a little excited. So excited. I don't know. It was hanging on by toilet paper anyway. But dang. Anyway, Carrie Ann called out Jenna Johnson because she's the pro dancer and also Val's wife. And she should have known better than to choreograph such an offensive move. But Harry was lifted by two background dancers, okay? They were dudes. It wasn't a partner lift, right? A partner lift, see, there's nuance here. A partner lift is really the no-no here. These are just background guys. Well, what emerges are clips of Carrie Ann Inaba cheering on that sexy little Robert Irwin last season when he was doing a lift. Oh, it's a little different when adorable little Robert does it, isn't it? I think the quote was, what lift? That was amazing. Oh, what lift? That was exactly. Oh, that was so duplicitous. so val after the the lift choreographed by his wife of two dudes lifting another dude val posts to his tiktok status you almost saw the fresh prince enter the ballroom last night now take a look at his post here you see you see val's it's it's a charming little post it means nothing you almost saw the fresh prince okay that page by the way that's not it harry that's not it wrong page six and ew pointed out that that could have meant you know keep my wife's name out like the will smith thing i think it was cute he was defending his wife all val said was you almost saw the fresh prince enter the ballroom last night like to defend his wife little throwback to the very awkward Will Smith slap of Chris Rock. Well, Ariane took tremendous offense to that and took it to HR like she felt threatened, like he was saying he was going to slap her. Wait a minute. Have we lost a god? Come on, dear. Gosh darn. So Val does what many people have to do. And you're looking at an experienced one. Moi. He issued a humiliating statement, falling on the board, taking ownership and apologizing for something I mean, he didn't really do. Okay. Hi, everyone. As you may have seen in the news, says Val, I won't be in the ballroom this week in a moment where my instinct in a moment where my instinct was to defend my wife. I made a poor decision to reference a meme to keep my wife's name out of the conversation without stopping to think through what else that reference could imply. Oh, please, which was genuinely never my intention. Of course, it wasn't your intention and intention, and it shouldn't be have been received that way. Carrie Ann Val's a lovely guy in the story. Carrie Ann certainly did not deserve to get caught in the middle of my bad judgment. Listen, it's a network job, OK? What is he going to do? Is he going to go, you know, be a doctor on ER? No, he's a dancer. This is what he does. This is the place, the one place to make serious good bank and doing what you love, right? Going on tour and dancing in like Toledo ballrooms doesn't pay. He says, Carrie-Anne certainly didn't deserve to get caught in the middle of my bad judgment, and I hate that she was. No, you don't. The last thing I want is to become a distraction from an important week or from the incredible work my dance partner, Jenna Dewan is putting in. Please send Carrie Ann, Jenna, and the whole Dancing with the Stars family lots of love during the dedication night, which is tonight. I'll be watching and cheering everyone on. Well, a rumor has emitted. It has come to the surface that there will be no elimination tonight on Dancing with the Stars. Guess what that is to me? Oh yeah, we'll get to my cal sheet bet in a second here which got absolutely screwed here because of this but excuse me my my cal sheet trade got you know definitely taken sideways uh no elimination you know what that says to me that's abc admitting that they should not have suspended val if there's no elimination it isn't fair right Jenna Dewan is a definite she's kicking ass and for her to take her, Alan Burstyn or whoever her, you know, fill in partner is. It's not fair. So to suspend the elimination means we had to do something for Val. We had to do something to appease Carrie Ann because Carrie Ann went there. I don't think they were going to suspend Val until she went there and said, I felt threatened. Oh, ----. A woman felt threatened. My God. Val, you got to sit this one out. OK, you got to sit this one out. What's bullshit? Jen has been working with the just issue a statement. Please issue a statement. Just issue a nice statement. And you know what, guys, we should suspend the elimination. It's not fair. Let's just get through this week and pick up where we left off. Tell me that's not exactly what happened, right? Oh, thank God. Sorry about the Jeffrey Dahmer glasses. If you're watching instead of listening, I just popped on a set of Gwyneth Paltrow. I like them. You know, Gwyneth Paltrow wears these glasses though. And you like them. I know. It is a little Jeffrey Dahmer though. It is, but it's fine. Okay. So this does screw my Kalshi bet okay um i i think they should restock the portfolio but i'm not going to complain because i actually pulled a smart move here um see i had tyler cameron it was tyler cameron or jackson olsen going out tonight and all of a sudden within like an hour ago the rumor started going around on Kalshi especially that there was going to be no elimination it's up to like 70 percent. Is it even higher now? The last I checked, it was 70 percent. It's at 80 percent now. 80 percent. No elimination tonight. Jackson's probably at 15 and Tyler's probably at seven or something like that. It is absolutely caved. I traded 100 bucks yesterday predicting Tyler would go home. That would have been a four hundred and eighty eight dollar profit in the old portfolio for the Bush man. Tyler, I said, this guy's screwing me. I thought, by the way, Tyler had a plan for this that no elimination saved him but he had a plan for this he tell me wait a minute lauren you follow this very specifically tyler said i'm dancing for two tonight or is it three dancing no yes no so he posted a tiktok yesterday and he said that you know he said it's going to be the three of us dancing tomorrow but there's only two women in the video so people were going oh is his fiancee pregnant and are we gonna get an announcement and that again what did we talk about yesterday he hasn't had that much of a story so it's why people were saying he might get eliminated next that would certainly be a new story wouldn't it he's what i call a hobo that stands for hot boring h-o-b-o he's a little boring it's okay but he's so hot he makes up for it with his hotness and now he's an impending father we believe you can't kick the dad to be out so he was ready for this but then it was the elimination now he's regretting having floated the father news he saved that for a week right so uh yeah hobo yeah copper mountain 32 loves that she's laughing i hobo he never heard that i made it up i made it up like everything else on this show no it's all very factual it's all very factual anyway so i cashed out here's a move you can do on Kalshi which is so fun we love it i can't believe we get to have them as a sponsor because i just do it anyway uh i cashed out i bailed i cut my losses and when i did by the way it would have been nothing i got 77 back cut and run don't hang in there right that was a strong and disciplined move on Kalshi you're trading against other traders and don't wait right if you see the tide going get out of there if it's not going to work out there's no house setting the odds taking their cuts just people putting their money behind that you know hot little dancer like i said that hot little hustler in a sequins onesie of your choice trade 25 bucks with code hot mics and Kalshi will throw in another 25 instantly trade responsibly that's how you integrate your sponsors into your show
