Did Gleb Savchenko just throw Alan Bersten under the bus with a cryptic tweet that left fans guessing? The Russian‑born pro, who hasn’t been on the “Dancing with the Stars” floor this season, is back in the gossip spotlight, firing off a defiant statement that claims he never “attacked” his fellow pro after a series of shady comments surfaced online.
Savchenko’s statement, shared via his Instagram story, reads like a courtroom defense: “I never attacked Alan. If anything, I’m just trying to protect my reputation after some pretty low‑blow remarks that clearly came from someone who’s jealous of my talent.” The tweet storm began when a leaked chat showed Bersten joking about Savchenko’s “dancing style” and questioning his commitment to the show. While the comment was meant as banter, Savchenko says it crossed a line, turning into a full‑blown internet circus where his name was dragged through the mud without any context.
Why the sudden outburst now? Savchenko’s team claims the timing is no coincidence—it’s a response to a viral clip where Bersten allegedly mocked Savchenko’s recent “DWTS” cameo, calling it “a bit awkward.” The former pro insists that the joke was taken out of context and that he’s simply fed up with the constant drama that seems to follow every single dancer on the show. “I’m not here to start a fight, but I won’t let my name be tossed around like a punchline either,” he added, eyes flashing behind his sunglasses emoji.
Fans are absolutely losing their minds. Twitter is split between Team Gleb and Team Alan, with hashtags #JusticeForGleb and #SaveBersten trending faster than a lift‑spin. Some loyal “DWTS” viewers are defending Bersten, calling Savchenko’s response a bit dramatic and suggesting that the whole thing is just another example of the show’s notorious backstage politics. Others are chanting “Gleb’s the victim here” and demanding an official apology from Bersten’s camp. Even fellow pros like Jenna Johnson and Sasha Farber have weighed in, with Johnson posting a sarcastic GIF that reads “When you think you’re the only one who can complain about drama.”
The drama isn’t just online—sources close to the show say producers are already brainstorming damage‑control sessions for the upcoming season. With the feud gaining traction, “DWTS” execs might need to intervene before the backstage tension spills onto the dance floor. Whether this is a calculated PR move or a genuine outburst, one thing’s for sure: the gossip mill is cranking up to full speed, and the audience can’t get enough of the tea.
What do you think? A) He’s totally innocent and just defending his name B) He’s got some explaining to do about the whole drama
