Sources connected with the show are claiming The Bachelor star, a Venezuela native, was under serious consideration to appear on the next season of the reality dancing competition, however, he became too controversial during his season.
"He's just too risky," a source told E! News. "There's too much negativity at this point."
While some of Galavis' unpopularity was a result of cultural differences, he's also been criticized for going on the show for fame and dumping on the idea of a future gay The Bachelor star.
Galavis was known for sending his bachelorettes mixed signals throughout the season -- prompting bachelorette Andi Dorfman to call him a "rude, arrogant asshole" after their "disaster" of a steamy fantasy-suite date.
The woman to receive Galavis' final rose also reportedly leaked a nude photo of the 32-year-old former pro soccer player recently, and news had surfaced in early January that Galavis is a deadbeat dad who owed his ex-girlfriend thousands of dollars in unpaid child-support payments for their four-year-old daughter Camila.
Although Galavis won't be competing on Dancing with the Stars, two other Bachelors have. Sean Lowe and Jake Pavelka previously appeared on Dancing with the Stars, in addition to former The Bachelorette star Trista Rehn and The Bachelor bachelorette Melissa Rycroft.
Some members of the new Dancing with the Stars cast have reportedly already leaked. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes and actress Candace Cameron Bure will compete on the show's eighteenth edition, according to E! News.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Bruce Jenner had also previously expressed how he'd love to do the show.
The official cast of Dancing with the Stars' will be revealed live on Good Morning America on Tuesday, March 4 at 7AM ET/PT, and the new season will premiere on Monday, March 17 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
