'DWTS' Judge Bruno Tonioli Makes Karina Smirnoff Feel 'Dirty'

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted May 17th 2011 01:50PM

From keeping time to crossing the line, things went a little too far on last night's 'Dancing With the Stars' show. After Ralph Macchio performed a sexy number with his professional partner, Karina Smirnoff, the always loquacious judge, Bruno Tonioli, got a little too excited with his critique -- which had to be censored.

While describing the way Macchio handled his partner and her cheetah inspired costume, Tonioli said, "you were too rough with your p---y."

Shocked but all smiles on camera, Smirnoff was less than thrilled with the judge's comments off-screen. Smirnoff told Us Weekly that Tonioli's comments made her feel "dirty."

"Today was just inappropriate and rude and uncalled for," she said. The sexy dancer added that "[Tonioli] wouldn't make eye contact" with her for the rest of the evening.

Smirnoff's 'Karate Kid' partner was also miffed by the comments: "That was just really an unprofessional thing to do," he said. "We went a little bigger than life. This was a chance to just break out and be funny and fun."

But Tonioli's comments more than overshadowed the duo's "fun" routine and the pair landed in last place out of the four remaining couples.

IT IS TIME FOR BRUNO TO GO.........HIS DIRTY MOUTH ALWAYS, RUINS THE SHOW.....

By mary

I totally agree. He's been too over the top this entire season... he thinks he's so great and he's a sad little man.

By jb

Bruno wouldn't have the faintest idea what to do with a Puss!

By great granny

totally agree with you Donna. Ralph was robbed by biased nasty mouth judges. They decided who would be in the finals in my opinion, not the voting public. We feel sick.

By joan

Bruno is a disgusting little twit and should have his face slapped on tv and then be dumped from the panel.

By moe

I agree with you as well...he is just out of control now, and there are so many other people that could be the judge.

Notice how nice they are to the one that should have went first.
Alley, give me a break ~ the judges because she is a Scientologist and a billionaire. are all scared to deaf, to say anything bad about her.
I heard that she even got a 10, don't know if true but I don't doubt it.
I was told that Scientology has a message board, all over the world and millions of people being told to vote for her. That girl with all the kids (Kate?) I think is her name is a much better dancer then Alley.~ Alley is on some kind of drugs for sure, she acts like a moron.

By Dee

I wonder how much they all get paid

By wtf

@Rocko, if you thought Kate was a better dancer you better get your eyes checked. Kate couldn't even walk let alone dance. Alley started off a little rough but she has improved tremendously. She in still not winning material but she is far far better that many who have been on the show.

But that's the way his entire family speaks...

By MarkMark

The judge was WAY outta line.

As for Kelly: her remaining on the show is a joke...the all-mighty-NETWORK keeps her on cause she is good P.R. for the show.

Same thing happened when Cloris Leachman was kept on the show when she was a bad dancer...she, like Kelly, is good P.R.

By Fred

You're right on!! He's a jerk!

By C.H.

THEY SHOULD FIRE HIM.

By Emma

AGREED 100%

By wuwu

You are all sO narrow minded. She was dressed as a cat right "a puss". Bruno brings so much color and life to an otherwise contrived show. Why don't y'all GROW UP!

@wuwu, Bruno doesn;'t bring anything to the show but fould mouth, overly dramatic response that are vulgar and crude. He should be fired from the show for his actions.

By jean

Fire him for being honest?

By Judy

I agree Bruno should be fired! They all decided that Ralph should go and they gave him bad reviews and low scores when he deserved better.

By betty wooddy

I believe Bruno has gone too far. His antics in juding have been way overboard for too long. It is time for the show's producers to get another judge.

By martha

IF Bruno had a job in the real world, you can bet your bottom dollar he would NOT get away with this and would consequences to pay.
