Val Chmerkovskiy is standing by his hairstyle after facing criticism online.
The "Dancing with the Stars" pro, 40, addressed the reaction to his cornrows in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly following the show's Oct. 6 episode.
"There's nothing to talk about, [other than] the fact that I love the way it looked," he told the outlet.
Chmerkovskiy shared the hairstyle on social media, prompting criticism over cultural appropriation. He removed the braids before Tuesday's performance.
One user on X (lexonfilm) wrote, "if i were the dwts hair and makeup team, i would be pulling those cornrows up out of val's head RIGHT. NOW."
