Hope Solo has denied a report claiming she's "had it" with Dancing with the Stars professional partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy and believes he's an obnoxious jerk.

"Hope has had it with Maks. He's such a jerk and constantly makes obnoxious comments to her like, 'I'm not here to be your friend.' It brings her down and everyone can see it," a source told Star magazine in its November 7 issue.
However, according to Solo, the report couldn't be further from the truth.
"My eyes have been opened! I'm not living in the real world! Hollywood gossip is truly gossip! Star magazine where do you get your sources! So sad," the thirteenth-season Dancing with the Stars contestant wrote on her Twitter account Monday.
"How's this for a source! Hell, I'll even attach my name to it! I GOT NOTHING BUT MAD LOVE AND MAD RESPECT FOR MY PARTNER [Maksim]! Go ahead, quote it!"

In its report, Star also claimed the American women's soccer star isn't the only Dancing with the Stars participant who allegedly can't stand Chmerkovskiy.
"He is by far the most hated person on the set. No one wants to work with him, especially since he got his brother [Valentin Chmerkovskiy] a spot on the show. He thinks he has all this fame and power now," the source added.
"Maks is so arrogant. Hope needs someone who encourages her and makes her feel like she can do it -- but Maks does just the opposite," another source told the magazine.
