AceShowbiz - Nyle DiMarco is still a target of other contestants on "Dancing with the Stars". According to Radar Online, other contestants continue to throw shade at Nyle as they're preparing for couples-swap week for the next episode.
Other contestants are reportedly furious with Nyle and his partner Peta Murgatroyd as they have scored nearly perfect scores so far with their dances. A production source tells the site, "The other guys on set used to just shun Nyle, but it has gotten to the point where they are just flat-out rude now! No one even tries to engage with him anymore. Granted, he is deaf, but they used to all at least just say 'hello' or tell him that he was doing a great job. There is no longer any of that going on."
Peta's fiance Maksim Chmerkovskiy is reportedly upset with her as she keeps sticking up for Nyle. "Peta and her fiance's younger brother Val had it out because he told Maksim that Peta was getting too emotionally attached to Nyle," the source says, "There is so much drama right now because Peta is constantly fighting with her castmates because it seems like they are all out to get Nyle."
"Nyle's competitors are trying to shut him down. He is the strongest competitor right now and because of that he is getting a lot of heat from the other dancers," adds the source. "Peta is being fiercely protective over Nyle because she has to be. She has a lot invested in this and in him. Everyone is trying to start sh*t with the both of them and it is just making Nyle work harder. He is in it to win it."
