DWTS Pro Suspended: Jenna Dewan Dances On
18 Oct
Summary
- Jenna Dewan will dance with Alan Bersten on DWTS October 20.
- Her fiancé, Steve Kazee, offered public support for Dewan.
- Val Chmerkovskiy was suspended for a post criticizing a judge.
Jenna Dewan is preparing to perform on Dancing with the Stars with a new temporary partner. She is scheduled to dance with pro Alan Bersten on the October 20 episode. This arrangement comes after her original dance partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, received a one-week suspension from the show.
Chmerkovskiy's suspension stemmed from an Instagram post where he criticized judge Carrie Ann Inaba. He later apologized for the post, acknowledging his poor decision and stating he did not intend for his reference to imply anything beyond defending his wife. He emphasized his desire not to distract from Dewan's performance.
Dewan's fiancé, actor Steve Kazee, has publicly shown his support for her, posting a message of encouragement on social media. Kazee previously defended Dewan against online criticism regarding her on-stage chemistry with Chmerkovskiy. Dewan is expected to perform a Viennese waltz to "Unchained Melody" for Dedication Night, honoring her mother.
