‘DWTS’ Pro Gleb Savchenko Tells Hilaria Baldwin To ‘Cut The Noise’ After Bullying Claims

In the new interview with Covers, shared exclusively with Daily Mail, Savchenko didn’t hold back when addressing Baldwin’s recent claims. “In my opinion, there’s billions of opinions, so just cut the noise,” he said. “You can say whatever, and people talk sh-t about me too, but I know who I am. I’ve got a good heart and I’m a good person. I’ve never done anything wrong.”

The veteran dancer went on to emphasize that public criticism comes with the territory, explaining, “People can talk sh-t about you all day long and create stories, try to seek attention, whatever that is. I know who I am, and my friends love me, so that’s all I care about. We were so locked in the competition, so I just told her to brush it off, who cares?”

Baldwin Says She Was ‘Bullied Off The Show’

During an appearance on the "Too Much Podcast," Baldwin alleged that specific online communities encouraged viewers not to vote for her, saying, "They’re gonna vote for all the couples besides me, or besides X person. So that suppresses your fan vote.”

She explained that she spoke up about the situation because it had reportedly affected other contestants in the past. “I’ll be the person who’s crying in front of the world because I’m gonna show my humanity,” Baldwin said. “Some people are gonna like that, and some people are gonna make fun of me more for that.”

Despite the controversy, Baldwin clarified that her issue was with online trolls, not her fellow contestants or the production team. “Everybody on the show is lovely,” she said, adding that she doesn’t want sympathy from viewers. “I don’t need people to feel bad for me. I had the time of my life on the show. I’m only a better, happier person because I did the show.”

While Gleb Savchenko is no stranger to the spotlight on "Dancing With the Stars," he’s also faced his share of off-camera drama. The professional dancer made headlines last season when he began dating his then-partner, model Brooks Nader, just weeks into the competition.

The pair’s whirlwind romance quickly became one of the most talked-about behind-the-scenes stories of the season. However, after their elimination in October, the relationship hit a pause, only for the two to rekindle their romance a month later. By April, they had called it quits for good.

Neither Savchenko nor Nader publicly revealed the reason for their second split, but speculation swirled after Nader’s sister, Grace Ann Nader, alleged that the choreographer had cheated.

Savchenko swiftly denied the accusation, telling E! News, “I’m not a cheater. I’m actually a family guy. I’m a relationship guy. I’m not a f-ckboy who goes around and goes on all these dates. I’m not even on dating apps.”

Not long after denying Brooks Nader’s sister’s cheating accusations, Gleb Savchenko appeared to hint that the fallout may have affected his future on "Dancing With the Stars."

In a now-viral video, the pro lip-synched to an audio clip saying, “I don’t know where you got your information from, I don’t know who your source is, but I will be the first one to tell you that is incorrect.” He captioned the clip, “Your ‘source’ needs a refund … because that story? 100 percent fake.”

When one fan commented, “Can’t wait to see you on my TV again in September!” Savchenko’s reply sparked speculation, “Afraid you won’t.”

The comment instantly fueled rumors that he’d been dropped from the show following the off-screen drama. However, whatever tension existed behind the scenes seems to have been resolved as Savchenko returned to the ballroom the following season, partnering with Hilaria Baldwin in "DWTS" Season 34.
