Gleb Savchenko Breaks Silence on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 35 Casting Snub

The cast of Dancing With the Stars season 35 features a lot of familiar faces—both celebrity and pro-partner—but not on the list? Gleb Savchenko.Gleb has been a pro on DWTS for 12 seasons, but didn’t get asked back in season 34 amid drama with his ex / former partner, Brooks Nader. Full story this way, but basically Gleb accused Brooks of lying about him cheating—and claimed he lost out on DWTS because of her. As he put it in a since-deleted TikTok comment, “14 years of loyalty, erased by someone’s lie.”Meanwhile, this season Brooks’ sister Sarah Jane Nader is on the show—not to mention her close friend Maura Higgins. So things could have been pretty awkward had he been a pro.But how does Gleb feel about being left off the cast list? He went ahead and posted a shirtless poolside video (sure sure sure), writing, “Guys, I promise… I’m good 😂❤️ Nothing but love and gratitude for all the years in that ballroom.”He then added, “Excited for this next chapter—and wishing everyone an amazing season. 🪩 No sad messages. We’re moving forward. 😉”Unclear what Gleb’s next chapter is, but he doesn’t seem to have fully cut ties with Dancing With the Stars considering he just showed up on Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro.Maybe we’ll see him back next season? Either way, Dancing With the Stars kicks off season 35 on September 15 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+.
