Olympic soccer player Hope Solo has made a serious accusation against her former Dancing With the Stars partner Maksim Chemerkovskiy in her new book, in which she claims the professional dancer slapped her during rehearsals.

“He manhandled me in rehearsals from the start, pushing me, whacking my stomach, bending my arms roughly,” the soccer player, 31, writes in Solo: A Memoir of Hope.

‘DWTS’ Crew Upset with Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s Bad Attitude 

“I thought that was just how it went – how dancers worked with each other. But it kept getting worse. … One day, Maks was trying to put me in a certain position and hit my stomach so hard with his open palm that I had a red handprint there for the rest of the day.”

Solo went on to claim that one day Chmerkovskiy slapped her across the face. ”He wanted my head in a specific position. To achieve that, he slapped me across the face. Hard,” she adds.

The goalie was offered another partner by ABC, but declined because she reportedly didn’t want to end her partner’s career.

Chmerkovskiy, 32, has yet to comment publicly on the book, but did take to his Twitter on Thursday to post this message: ”Always hated hypocrites and liars … but when someone is both AND an opportunist, I just feel bad for them. Can’t win at someone’s expense …”

ABC has not commented on the allegations. Chermkovskiy’s rep had no comment.

I think this is a publicity stunt. Solo can’t seem to stay out of the news for five minutes.
