Louis Van Amstel Weighs In On Nancy Kerrigan, DWTS Season 24 Week 7, Other Pros, And More

Tumblr:
Louis Van Amstel had a facebook chat today. I thought long and hard whether to post this or not for all the negativity he said on Nancy Kerrigan. *so disappointing* And please NO to Louis being a “Guest Judge”.
shade thrown at about 27.00
Was this just to Derek or do people think there’s more?Tumblr:


I know Louis is not that popular, though, I do always appreciate that he has no filter. Whether you agree/believe with what he says is another story, but, no bullshit/run-of-the-mill answer from him.

So Louis would have been on the show if it had not been for a prior commitment.


Louis does not beat around the bush when he is asked a question...that is one thing I do like when someone is interviewed...just answer or say "it isn't any of your business"...LOL  

Does anyone have the "cliff notes" on this?  I would like to know what he said, but I really don't want to listen to the video. LOL  It is terrible that some people feel the need to diss or say negative things about others.

Luv...it is quite an chat...I agree about not saying things about others when you mention actual names..
Apparently will be doing them weekly from what I can gather...I have not listened to the complete interview just bits and pieces...the one thing is he is brutally honest and he isn't afraid to say what what he believe, I do like honest, however  I am surprised he would mention specific names especially if he has the chance to be back on the show and he actually wants to be on the show...looks like that would cause some "bad blood" and  "hard feelings" with the others on the show... But he is says some things that are actually true and honest...I actuall listened to a part of his previous chat and he loves DWTS donesn't think it will be going away anytime soon and does want to be back on the show.  He kinda reminds me of Len in the way of be point blank about a specific thing.  

I think I am going to listen to the whole thing and maybe the one before and see exactly what he actually does say about whoever.  Maybe some of those that listened to it only herard parts of it and took it out of context...who knows...I just find it hard to believe that someone would talk about their work partners and then want to continue to work with them...

The reason he was not on the show this season is he was the "Special Olympics Dance Ambassador"Louis Van Amstel Makes Dance Official Sport as Ambassador to Special Olympicshttp://www.broadwayworld.com/los-angeles/article/Louis-Van-Amstel-Makes-Dance-Official-Sport-as-Ambassador-to-Special-Olympics-20170426

Usually when I clink on a tumblr link they want me to be registered to see it.  However, this link went right to the video.  THANKS VIEW.

I watched/listened to  the entire video as I was getting ready for the day.  Contrary to what I expected, it is a good video.  He likes Nancy Kerrigan but he makes a distinction between her kind of complaining when she has so much talent, is a good dancer and not in pain and Bonner's situation.  And he believes that people quit voting for her because of this.  He believes the public makes a distinction between someone like Bonner who has zero dance experience, is in constant pain and someone like Nancy.  He may or may not be right about his assessment, but I did not hear him throw shade at Nancy. With maybe one exception, Nancy's dances have not garnered a lot of views on You Tube.  He spent no more than 2 or 3 minutes talking about Nancy.   Over the course of an hour he talks about a lot of things based on comments or question being sent to him.  He does note something I had read a year ago:  he is the one who got Derek and Julianne involved in DWTS.  People ask him direct questions, he answers directly.  He ia a fan of Cheryl, Karina and Val, in particular.
