USATue Nov 25 2025
Dancing with the Stars is a popular show where celebrities dance their hearts out for a trophy. This year, the finalists are Robert Irwin, Elaine Hendrix, Dylan Efron, Alix Earle, and Jordan Chiles. But behind the glitz and glamour, there's been some drama.
Corey Feldman, a former child actor, was one of the first to leave the competition. He recently spoke out about the show's behind-the-scenes environment, calling it "toxic. " He mentioned that pro dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy made some negative comments about him in the press. Feldman was shocked to read these things and felt hurt by the accusations.
At first, Feldman thought everything was fine on the set. Everyone seemed happy and hard at work. But then he started reading negative things in the news. He confronted his dance partner, Jenna Johnson, about it. She told him not to worry, that Chmerkovskiy just wanted attention.
Feldman later clarified his statements, saying his experience on the show was actually positive. He praised the kindness and support he received from everyone involved. He admitted that his initial anger was directed at people not currently working on the show who still try to stir up drama.
Despite his initial reluctance, Feldman said he was looking forward to performing with Johnson again at the finale. He also expressed his support for the finalists and hoped for a successful finale.
