Gleb Savchenko says Alan Bersten isn't up to the level required to replace Val Chmerkovskiy on DWTS.

“Alan, I think he’s Alan. I mean, he’s just not up to the level of dancing. Like, period.”

Val's suspension reason

Val Chmerkovskiy received a week-long suspension after referencing Will Smith's Oscars slap in a social media post.

“You almost saw the Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night.”

Gleb's alternative choice

Gleb suggested Carter Williams as a better replacement for Val Chmerkovskiy on DWTS.

“Yes, B would probably... because Jenna is small and Val is a little smaller than Brandon and Alan, so who would I put... Carter [Williams]. Carter? Yes!”

BBC Studios response

BBC Studios stated Val's social media post was inappropriate and he won't participate in next week's DWTS show.

“The well-being of everyone who works on Dancing with the Stars is non-negotiable.”
