Fresh off her gold medal win with the U.S. Women's soccer team, Hope Solo has released an autobiography. “Solo: A Memoir of Hope” covers her impressive career on the field, her shattered childhood caused by an imprisoned father and even her stint on “Dancing with the Stars.” And it is this last bit of pop culture fodder that has the Internet buzzing.

Hope Solo Maksim Chmerkovskiy

In the book, Solo claims her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy pushed her, whacked her and, in general, treated her roughly. She writes, "I thought that was just how it went – how dancers worked with each other." So she suffered in silence for a bit. But she goes on to say that when Chmerkovskiy allegedly slapped her across the face to get her to turn her head, officials offered her a new partner. She declined, afraid of coming off as the villain.

On the dancing show, the Ukrainian champion is known for his bad-boy antics, but they have been limited to flying off the handle at partners during rehearsals or talking back to the judges during the show. The dancer has not commented except on Twitter, saying, "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." What do you think: Is Maks too much of a bad boy or are Hope’s recollections exaggerated?

    He's not really smacking her around. He's being rough because he's used to working with experienced people who know the "deal". He isn't manhandling her to the point where she is crying her eyes out and screaming.

    Oh well, I don't know them personally, so I won't say anything for sure. Still, it shouldn't be that it's only considered bad if she's crying her eyes out and screaming.. Some people don't cry.. I just hope it isn't true, but he should be more gentle in my opinion.

    Stop trolling. Enough already. You are trolling several SH's just on this question.

    Nope, not trolling.... not fully at least. I'm just expressing my opinion in an overtly assholish way.

    That's called Trolling.

    No, it's not. As an internet expert, trolling is one of the most misused words ever. Trolling is coming here with the intent to cause people distress. I never came here to cause you distress, did I? I simply stated my opinion. Now, if I were to troll, I'd be attacking you more harshly.

    Look at 1:25, and watch her and Maks. I can totally believe it.

    A nice butt is nothing if a person doesn't have a nice attitude to go with it!

    Yeah I watched that, definitely hit her shoulder, then threw her around trying to show the steps. Uncalled for, and if that was acceptable enough to show on air I can only imagine how he got behind closed doors at practice.

    He's a real ass, from what I just saw alone, let alone what wasn't shown.

    It didn't help that she had shoulder surgery, so throwing her around like that was horrible. Her shoulder was so bad she had to play the world cup with a shot of painkiller before each game.

    That he is!

    And, if she were lying, ABC would be all over denying it. They haven't said a word about it.

    Some people have THAT look about them, its an air of arrogance dancing around them. Some people have the ability to see what most overlook, that does come down to personas as well. A gay man is pretty easy to pick in a crowd, a standover man has that arrogance that shows, even a lot of tamps have a stand about them, the way they shuffle, look , Its hard to explain. there is a sleezy sly way to their movements..

    I understand what you mean. Part of it is how they carry themselves, how they talk about themselves, things like that tend to lead to knowing exactly how they act without really knowing them.

    phew,lol do you know how many times i have had to try to re-explain this..
    . That is exactly what I mean. Do You see this in poeple too? you are aware.. :) most arnt. they get around with their eyes shut, never taking things in, never looking at the bigger picture. Have yourself a good day. :)
