A post shared by Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy (@jennajohnson)
On Wednesday, Sept. 24, Johnson posted an Instagram roundup of her time and Feldman's experience on DWTS after he was eliminated on Tuesday's Sept. 23 episode of the celebrity dancing competition.
"Thank U Jenna! U were an absolute joy to work with," Feldman commented, adding, "Im so sorry for any negativity the media is using to give the false narrative that our time together was anything less than enjoyable."
The dancing pro's post began with a photo of them posing on the dance floor and including snaps and footage of them dancing together.
The Lost Boys alum added that Johnson knew he "was there 7 days a week for the past 3 weeks, doing everything in my power to give U my best, even if the judges couldnt see it."
In Maksim's conversation with the Daily Mail, published on Tuesday, Sept. 24, he told the outlet that all of the smiling for the cameras isn't necessarily the case when the cameras stop rolling.
"All the cast show up, you know, all smiles and say how great they are together and 'We're friends' and blah, blah, blah, but that's surface. Sometimes it's not the case," Maksim said.
"Obviously, Jenna has a bit of an uphill climb with Corey, which is easy for everybody to say from [outside]," he continued of the professionally trained dance champion being paired with an actor. "But I know that she's having a much more difficult time with this entire thing and to the point that it is really difficult for her."
Maksim concluded, "And so, I wish her all the best. We're here. Obviously, we're all together if you need to be, but you're talking about a reigning champ, so put some respect on the name, everybody."
