‘Dancing With the Stars’ Pulls Val Chmerkovskiy After ‘Inappropriate’ Carrie Ann Inaba Slap Joke: ‘The Well-Being’ of Our Staff Is ‘Non-Negotiable’

I AM NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING RIGHT NOW, SO VAL CHMERKOVSKIY POSTED SOME WEIRD MEME ABOUT JUDGE CARRIE ANN INABA ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THEN BOOM, DANCING WITH THE STARS IMMEDIATELY BENCHED HIM FOR NEXT WEEK, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE BBC STUDIOS CAME OUT WITH THIS MASSIVE STATEMENT SAYING THE WELL-BEING OF THEIR STAFF IS NON-NEGOTIABLE AND THAT VAL’S POST WAS INAPPROPRIATE AND DIDN'T REFLECT THEIR VALUES, SO NOW VAL IS OVER ON INSTAGRAM APOLOGIZING SAYING HE WAS JUST TRYING TO DEFEND HIS WIFE AND MADE A POOR DECISION TO REFERENCE A MEME WITHOUT THINKING THROUGH THE IMPLICATIONS, BUT APPARENTLY THAT ISN'T SAVING HIM FROM GETTING KICKED OFF THE SHOW FOR NOW, AND HE ADMITTED HE HATES THAT CARRIE ANN GOT CAUGHT IN HIS BAD JUDGMENT! OK NOW TELL ME I AM WRONG.

THE THING NOBODY EXPLAINED PROPERLY IS THAT VAL CHMERKOVSKIY IS LITERALLY SITTING OUT DANCING WITH THE STARS NEXT WEEK BECAUSE HE MADE AN INAPPROPRIATE JOKE ABOUT JUDGE CARRIE ANN INABA, AND THE SHOW IS CLAIMING THAT THE WELL-BEING OF EVERYONE WORKING THERE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE, SO THEY JUST PULLED HIM RIGHT OFF THE CAST, WHICH IS CRAZY BECAUSE HE WENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ADMITTED HE WAS TRYING TO DEFEND HIS WIFE BY USING A MEME WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT WHAT IT IMPLIED, AND HE OPENLY SAID CARRIE ANN CERTAINLY DIDN’T DESERVE TO BE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS BAD JUDGMENT, SO HE IS OUT FOR THE BALLROOM FOR NOW BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE A DISTRACTION FROM THE COMPETITION! ANYWAY I AM FINE, EVERYTHING IS FINE.

Val Chmerkovskiy will not participate in next week's episode of Dancing With the Stars following his inappropriate social media post regarding judge Carrie Ann Inaba.
