Bristol Palin competed on Season 11 of Dancing with the Stars way back in 2010. Now she claims that one of the professional dancers “hated” her, and she’s still holding a grudge 14 years later.
2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s daughter named Maksim Chmerkovskiy as the pro dancer who “rolled [his] eyes at” her throughout the season.
On August 26, she told DWTS alum Cheryl Burke on her Sex, Lies and Spray Tans podcast, “Oh, Maks … He hated me so much.”
Bristol Palin came in third
When Cheryl asked why Maks “hated” her, the Alaska native recalled her controversial season on the show. Despite low judges’ scores and negative viewer feedback, she and professional dancer Mark Ballas finished the season in third place.
“I don’t know,” Bristol responded. “Probably just because we kept going though. I mean, he was real nice at the beginning. But it was one of those things where, like, as we kept going through, I definitely felt the tension from him.”
A rep for Maks told Entertainment Weekly, “Maks doesn’t hate anybody. For [Palin] to say that would be a mischaracterization of his feelings. “I think he and everyone else in America, 14 years ago, thought that he and Brandy were on their way to winning that year, if not coming into the finals. So there was a bit of disappointment when she leapfrogged him into the finals. It’s a competition. He’s very competitive and took it seriously.”
Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey and her partner, professional dancer Derek Hough, took home the mirror ball trophy that season. Meanwhile, Maks is married to DWTS alum Peta Murgatroyd. They just welcomed their third son on July 12, 2024.
Ballas was a “very supportive partner”
In spite of her unpleasant memories of Maks, Bristol enjoyed dancing with Mark. She still remembers him as being a “very good” and “very supportive” partner.
“I was so thankful to be partnered with Mark because Mark was so sweet and very patient,” she told Cheryl.
As always when two people dance well together, rumors swirled that she and Mark had a romance going at the time, but Bristol insists they were just friends. In 2012, the partners were asked back as part of an all-star cast in Season 15. They were eliminated in week four following low scores from the judges.
Dancing with the Stars premieres on September 17 at 8/7c on ABC and Disney+.
