Bristol Palin Expresses Heartbreak Over Her 15-Year-Old Son Tripp Moving Out of Her Home
Bristol Palin doesn’t think she and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were in lockstep during their time as costars.
The Dancing with the Stars season 11 alum alleged that Maks, a longtime dance pro on the series, was not her biggest fan during her tenure as a celebrity contestant—claiming he even rolled his eyes whenever she and partner Mark Ballas proceeded to the next week.
“Oh, Maks, he hated me so much,” Bristol told retired DWTS dance pro Cheryl Burke on the latter’s Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans podcast. “Probably just because we kept going through.”
The 33-year-old—whose time on the series was notoriously low-scoring—continued, “I mean, he was real nice at the beginning, but it was one of those things where as we kept going through, the more it was like, ‘Oh gosh, okay.’”
While paired with Mark, Bristol—the daughter of former politician Sarah Palin and Todd Palin—ultimately made it to the finale of the dance competition with Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough taking first place and Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer finishing as the runners up. Maks and his partner Brandy finished in fourth right behind third place finishers Bristol and Mark.
