It’s been five months since Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko split, but the tension between them is still high. The latest drama comes after Savchenko subtly shaded his ex while promoting the new season of Dancing With the Stars.

Nader was asked about the pro dancer’s comments when she appeared on the Wednesday, September 17, episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and she explained why she finds Savchenko, who was her partner on Season 33 of DWTS before they started dating, “creepy.”

“I have nothing to say about him,” she quipped. “He’s a completely creepy person. I had no chance, literally and physically, from the start when I went on [Dancing With the Stars]. I had no chance at having good [choreography] because he was humping me the whole time. It’s true.”

Her blunt response was a reaction to Savchenko’s recent comments about working with new celeb partner Hilaria Baldwin during Season 34. “I’m most looking forward to just enjoying work and dance. Finally I have a partner that I can go out there and dance [with] and really enjoy and not try to figure out the routine of, like, ‘OK let me just hide all of your minuses and bring out the pluses,'” he told People. “We can actually go out there and create something. I can create something that will be hopefully an incredible routine and tell the story through dance. That’s what I’m all about and that’s what Hilaria brings to the floor.”

He also stressed that there would be “no drama” this season, seemingly hinting that his last experience was Nader was drama-filled.

Nader and Savchenko dated after filming the dance competition show in the fall of 2024. They were together for about six months before the relationship ended in April. On her show, Love Thy Nader, which premiered in August, Nader accused Savchenko of cheating, which he has denied.
