Brandy Slapped by Partner on 'Dancing': Inappropriate?

Talk about tough love...

After singer Brandy and her "Dancing with the Stars" professional dancing partner Maks Chmerkovskiy got chewed out for their lukewarm performance last week, Maks decided to turn up his training routine with a little bit of physical scolding.

The training video that was played before their samba routine showed Maks reprimanding her with slaps on the wrist and butt, roughly moving her body into position, and telling her sternly to do what he tells her.

"Brandy is one of those people that needs somebody tough, somebody who gets her to do things," he explained.

After their impressive performance, two of the three judges came down on him for his harsh methods.

Len Goodman said, "I didn't like that whole way of training," and Carrie Ann Inaba even tried to spank him before he added, "I don't condone that kind of teaching, but it worked."

Brandy, on the other hand, defended her partner. After the training video, Maks appeared distraught at the way he was portrayed, but Brandy was all smiles and kissed him on the cheek.

She said, "My sensitive side feels that Maks bullies me, but I know he's trying to make me better and he really believes in his process. So it's just about the strongest people getting through it."

    He's the teacher. I don't think it's a slap, I think of it as a small smack on the butt. She didn't mind and I can see why...............He's Hot.

    Well, they seemed pretty good friends so I don't really see anything wrong. I think if she had taken it the wrong way that she would have let him know it right off the bat.

    I don't see a major problem with it unless she is offended. It seems as if there is some sort of a sexual attraction going on more then training with the butt slapping.

    In all my years of professional dance, I've never had an instructor treat me like that. It's unprofessional and uncalled for.

    You are possibly more disciplined than Brandy is, also, some people just can't make the connection because the mind and body and intellect are not synced up in a way that lets them get it. Also, when competing, it's all about winning. If someone doesn't go in to win, then they shouldn't even be in a competition. This was obviously a last ditch effort to try and get her to be serious about being the best she can be. It worked, so the price was fair.

    Even in the beginning I was never treated like that - no matter what the competition was.

    it was a joke between the two of them based on the movie couples retreat. brandy was fine with it. you are only see a few seconds of hours and hours of rehearsals over weeks of time.

    Overreact much? That's hardly what I would call "slapping." From the fuss, I thought he had drawn blood or at least bruised her. As is obvious and plainly stated, it worked. Anyone who disagrees doesn't know the difference between discipline and abuse.
