Just a little over a week after Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy called off their engagement, the Dancing with the Stars couple had to put their best faces forward to shake it for the 2009 Emmy Awards.
While Karina and Maksim’s may have looked like the happy ex-couple dancing on stage, things reportedly got heated between the two both before and after their performance.
“They were going at it, screaming at each other,” an eyewitness tells E! Online. “He said she was taking too long in hair and makeup. It got kind of loud.”
Regardless of what may or may not have gone down behind-the-scenes, Maksim tells People magazine he gave the dance his all for the sake of Karina:
“Honestly the majority of what I did today was because I knew how big of a deal it was for her. She wants this. She wants to see how she can excel. Dancing at the Emmys was such an amazing spotlight. I just wanted to make sure to give it to her even if it’s the last thing I do. So I wanted to do the best job I could, but it was hard.”
Karina and Maksim return tonight for season 9 of Dancing with the Stars on ABC.
