AceShowbiz - "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Brooks Nader and her pro dancer partner Gleb Savchenko landed in hot water after they teased their upcoming dance routine. The stars were accused of going "too far" with their showmance.
The backlash came after Brooks hinted at their new performance for Hair Metal night. The 28-year-old model took to Instagram Stories to post a photo of some staff members preparing the pole ready. "This weeks prop," she wrote, adding an "eyes looking" emoji.
In addition, Brooks shared on TikTok to share a sultry video of Gleb. The 41-year-old performer was seen staring down the lens of the camera. "When this is your pole dance teacher," the Sports Illustrated star noted in the caption.
While Brooks and Gleb looked excited for the forthcoming episode, viewers were seemingly not impressed. They thought the X-rated prop was "too much" and that wasn't right for the family show.
"Can we all send Brook home soon because this is too much," one Reddit user said. Another begged them to end, "Lawdy Lord... should have expected something like this from the tackiest couple on the show. But please make it stop."
One other said, "My kids watch this show with me….as if the last package wasn’t enough." Someone else commented, "I’m so over it lol."
Brooks and Gleb first sparked dating speculations after they were seen sharing a kiss. A source close to the model claimed the connection may be even deeper than fans realize, noting that Brooks "has really started to fall for Gleb."
"Her friends haven’t seen her this giddy or nervous around a guy before," the insider said. "They are trying to play it somewhat cool even though it's out there that they’re a thing now but behind closed doors, they have so much passion."
