‘DWTS’ alumnus Maksim Chmerkovskiy makes it crystal clear that controversial socialite Anna Delvey — ankle monitor included — has no place on the dance floor!

Maksim didn’t hold back on “The TMZ Podcast” … telling us he thought Anna was a “s****y dancer” and highlighting her aloof appearance certainly won’t win her any fans in the competition.

Maksim also dismissed the excuse that Anna’s wobbly Cha Cha was just nerves. He said he didn’t believe it for a second, because conning people takes guts and self-control — something he said she knows a lot about.

But Maksim didn’t stop there — he shot down the idea of ​​having a “professional liar” compete while overlooking the countless dedicated dancers who put in the work. Watch the full clip to see all of his fiery takes!

Maksim is of course not the only one who is dissatisfied: Anna has been dealing with a wave of critics since the news of her casting, proving that she has much more to offer than just dance moves!
