I know that I am going to sound testy here, but how do we think that Maks is going to move forward and grow his businesses when he is losing his major publicity platform, DWTS. Maks has repeatedly stated that having such a big stage on DWTS for 9 years has been a huge boost to his career. Part of his job, part of the job of any savy business person is to be out and about and making connections.
Here is where I am having a very hard time about all the nasty comments being made about Maks as a person. First, we are a very long way from having the majority much less all the pertinent information necessary to arrive at a legitimate conclusion; but we are treating speculation as if it were true. Second, do we honestly believe that Maks did not talk with Meryl about all of this? Do we honestly believe that this young man would intentionally disrespect anyone the way some now believe now think he is disrespecting Meryl? And do we honestly believe that he would make the decision not to be a pro dancer any longer on DWTS before the finale and stick to this decision all through negotiations with DWTS only to turn around and trash Meryl by taking up with a bikini model? Devin actually co-owns with another young woman, the bikini swim suit company for which she models. The financial ramifications of deciding not to be a pro again are enormous. Yes, Maks co-owns dance studios; but these dance studios also support a lot of people. To keep them viable and to grow his businesses, Maks has to stay current and ito stay in the public eye if he is to grow his business concerns.Amen Kos!!! and when asked why he won't return as a dancer ...his answer "I would feel like I was cheating on Meryl".....the man can't handle the thought of cheating on her even in just a dance; so why would he cheat on her romantically????? that would mean so much more to him than a dance and he can't even "cheat" on her by simply dancing with another celeb on DWTS...to the point he gave up his career his biggest source of income not only for himself but his family...and remember him and Val's motto "fam over everything" ....Meryl has to mean alot to him for him to put her over his fam like that
April, thank you so much for this addtional paragraph that so deepens the significance of what Maks did when he made and then acted on the decision not to be a pro dancer with DWTS any longer. I personally believe that his decision not to dance any longer as a pro, which they had to have discussed; that her words to him about that decision after their freestyle dance; and that his response to her answer to his hand holding question all signaled a relationship that was on its way to marriage. No honorable girl says what she did to him after their freestlye unless she is thinking commitment on her part because in saying what she did, she endorsed his decision to give up a large portion of his income and the publicity that goes with it. Her parents attending SWAY deepened my conviction. And so I have believed all along that these two are indeed in constant communication.
me too...and like you said if she wasn't emotionally attached to him too....why would she go along with him giving up the major part of his income....thats not Meryl's style...if she had no interest in him she would have encouraged him to stay with DWTS and not cut ties with them....

All excellent points, April.....As well as Meryl's friends who seem to have given him a big seal of approval--on the video as well as by attending SWAY.

Don't know anything about this pic as to when, where and why????
That was uploaded from a friend of Fedor on IG
Hmmmmm and the plot thickens. Imagine if she has been with Fedor this whole time!!!!!!! Maybe they were just off during DWTS and got back on again after the show ended???? She posted something on facebook early on in the relationship with Fedor....a line from that song Feels Like Home "Something in your voice makes my heart beat fast. I hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life." I think she really liked him. Maybe they really are together still. I mean, why would he post that TBT picture like the day after she won? Very strange.

KOS:
Hope this wasn't aimed at me.....I said nothing disrespectful....just taking a break.
KOS, I know I have made some of those comments. I really don't mean to trash Maks; I'm, like Gunner, just upset over the Italy trip when I may not really need to be. My reaction to things is initially sometimes over the top, and then I settle down and think things through more carefully. Anyway, I'm glad we have you to help us make sense of things. It helps a lot, so thank you!
