Val Chmerkovskiy's since-deleted TikTok appeared to reference Will Smith's Oscar slap after Carrie Ann Inaba criticized wife Jenna Johnson's routine.

Val Chmerkovskiy won't be in the Dancing With the Stars ballroom next week. The pro dancer, who has been a rising name on the stage, was suspended following his comment earlier this week. The offensive social media post, despite his apology, was enough to get the pro dancer benched, marking the first pro suspension in the dancing show's history.
