Val Chmerkovskiy upsets 'DWTS' fans with Will Smith slap reference

They say I'm too much, I tell them, get on my level. That's Val Shmurkovsky flashing his abs on TikTok alongside his celebrity partner Jenna Dewan. Steamy. But another social media move has landed him in hot water with Dancing with the Stars fans. And somehow, Will Smith is involved? Don't worry, Page Six is here to break it all down. On this week's episode, Judge Carrie Ann Inaba was kind of harsh to Harry Shum Jr. and his pro partner Jenna Johnson. Specifically, she called out Johnson's choreography for having a lift, which is against the rules. Here's the move in question. And of course, fans of the show know that Val Shmerkovsky and Jenna Johnson aren't just professional dancers, they're also married to each other. So get this, Val apparently defended his wife from Inaba's vicious criticism with this TikTok status. You almost saw Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night. It seemed to be a reference to the slap heard round the world at the 2022 Oscars. when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock over a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia. I still can't believe that happened. Meanwhile, over on Reddit, fans debated the meaning of Val's since-deleted Fresh Prince joke, and the majority of the peanut gallery was not on his side. We all know he's an arrogant punk, but insinuating he'd do to Carrie Ann what Will Smith did to Chris Rock is disgusting. disgusting man. No, he's not even a man if he thinks like that. And he's gross for this, and I hope this goes viral and leads to him getting in trouble with the producers. Damn. But what did you think? Just a joke or was it a violent threat? And in case you missed it, here's what else went down on the dance floor this week. Based on the combination of the judges' scores and viewer votes, the couple going home is Guillermo and Whitney. Dancing with the Stars' first ever Super Bowl night resulted in game over for one fan favorite contestant Guillermo Jimmy Kimmel's sidekick and his pregnant partner Whitney Carson did a salsa to Bad Bunny's Tití me pregunto which landed them at the bottom with a 22 out of 40 but Super Bowl night wasn't all fumbles Julia Stiles channeled J-Lo for a hip-hop inspired jazz routine to Jenny from the Block with her partner, Ezra Sosa. And if you thought their choreography looked familiar, it was definitely a throwback to Stiles' 2001 movie, Save the Last Dance. The teen drama has become a cult classic over the years. Here's Stiles with her love interest, Sean Patrick Thomas, and surprise, he was cheering her on in the crowd last night. I am just over the moon to be here to watch Julia do her thing tonight of Dancing with the Stars. We had a great time doing Save the Last Dance back the day and she brought it all the way back here tonight and remember Save the Last Dance is streaming right now on Hulu and on Disney Plus so make sure you check it out you heard the man go stream their movie the duo's on-screen chemistry was off the charts and they won best kiss at the 2001 mtv movie awards and of course they planted an extra smooch on stage at the ceremony
