Maks Chmerkovskiy apologizes to Jan Ravnik, invites ‘DWTS’ pro to meet and ‘bury the hatchet’
Okay, first and foremost, I want to apologize to Yan for the way my words had, you know, made you feel for hurting your feelings. Um, there’s a lot more than I want to say. I would like an opportunity to do it over coffee or any kind of, you know, time you have to spare. I would love to meet. I would love to, you know, talk about this, bear the hatchet, but also most importantly, I think you’re going to walk away with knowing me feeling completely different. Uh, and dare I say, we probably might even be friends. Um, and to that point, I I’m not not a friend, you know, regardless of of what I say. And that’s a maybe it’s paradoxical, but you know, my personality, I I love you and I will tell you how it is, you know. let alone if I don’t know you. So, you know, it my my commentary on dance does not come with feelings and emotions. It just comes with completely different, you know, range of of of of reasoning. And um you know, I’m I’m I’m that guy. And so I would like to explain myself. Like I said, I would like this to be personal cuz this is this is crazy to me. Okay. And so and the second thing is the is a little more ego ego driven right you guys you guys wanted me to be me well you you can’t really hurt my feelings by saying that I you know look at you loser you only won once blah blah blah yes I know that more than anybody else um I’m also very well aware that every single member of my family uh has worn dancing stars more than I have much better at Dancing with the Stars than me. Um, the part of Dancing with the Stars that I was never able to um really wrestle with and and and dominate is the public perception, the public opinion and what people think about me. Fundamentally, I don’t care. And and and and I lead with that. And because I lead with that, I’m not fighting for anybody’s votes. And so in a platform where that’s important, I’m not the guy. Um on top of it, I made incredible mistakes, incredible mistakes with my partners, some of them with um with what I how I presented myself, you know, few times um with um the loss of temper was horrible situations few times. Um, so you know, you it’s not like you’re saying stuff that I don’t already know. I’ve been through. I’m 45. I have kids. I try to only lead by example. And because of that, I can point at myself and saying that, don’t do that. So there’s been examples of that, too. I’m very honest and I’m very, again, I told you I’m very black and white. And so when I it may be late in the day in a game when I realize something about myself, I realize it and it’s not going to be because somebody says that to me it’s because I finally understood that for myself. So that’s how I take everything on. And so that’s how I process things. Um please don’t come at me for how many times I’ve won or lost and what that opinion means or doesn’t mean. Um, Dancing with the Stars comes with that. The participation on Dancing with Stars comes with that with everybody with a keyboard. Well, nowadays with whatever internet uh can can can be heard and can voice their opinion. That’s it. That’s how I look at it. Um, let’s not let’s not defend someone by attacking somebody else. That’s all I’m going to say.
