Maksim Chmerkovskiy Gets Real About Break-Up With Karina Smirnoff
OCT 6, 2009 AT 01:23 PM
'Dancing with the Stars' pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy apparently decided to quit the niceties and the "we're still friends who care for each other a great deal" line that you typically hear when celebs break-up. When Life & Style asked Maksim if he was still friends with ex-fiancee Karina Smirnoff, he gave a candid response.
"No," he said at the LA County Fair on Sept. 27. "She's a lot better at hiding her feelings apparently than I am. I just need to drop the sad person act and move on."
Well, obviously the engagement ended for a reason. Do you find Maksim's honesty refreshing or in poor taste?

They both come off as arrogant, but I don't fault the guy for speaking his mind. If some people worried about honesty as much as they worry about offending people, the world would be a better place.

I didn't know dancers had feelings. They always smile and look way too cheerful

Depends on his tone. If he's sarcastic and snide, then it's in poor taste. But if he was being open and honest, then it's cool.

If he's honest then I think it's great. Why should every star break up be oh we're still friends doesn't always work out that way.
