Jen Affleck seemingly posted her response to Maks Chmerkovskiy's negative comments about her Dancing With The Stars partner Jan Ravnik.
On TikTok Monday, Oct. 27, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star posted a video of herself typing furiously on her phone while at rehearsal with her partner. Ravnik — who is currently suffering from the flu and is wearing a mask in the clip — appears to be lip-syncing to an audio.
"Take it down. Take it down. Take it down. We need it gone," the sound goes. "Take it down. That doesn't represent me or what we need to be doing."
Text over the video reads, "Me when anyone talks trash about Jan."

Chmerkovskiy made the controversial comments about Ravnik and his lack of ballroom dancing experience on the Friday, Oct. 24 episode of The Penthouse with Peta podcast.
"Jan has absolutely no business being a pro on Dancing With the Stars. There's zero foundation, technique, quality, understanding of the partnership," he said. "It is absurd. This is unreal — how blind we have to be to not say what's obviously there."
"It's not Jan's fault," he added. "He's doing what he was hired to do. I have zero against him whatsoever. [But Affleck] has no partner. It's not his fault."
Chmerkovskiy has not publicly addressed the comments and subsequent backlash.
Dancing with the Stars airs LIVE on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+ and streams next day on Hulu.
