Jan Ravnik is keeping his side of the street clean.
However, the Dancing With the Stars professional couldn’t help but call out people who have spread “hate” about his abilities ahead of his and partner Jen Affleck’s Oct. 28 elimination.
“I’m a person who doesn’t appreciate hate,” Jan told E! News in an interview following the Halloween-themed episode, “or people who are spreading hate to stay relevant.”
Indeed, Taylor Swift’s former Eras Tour dancer made a point to express gratitude for DWTS host Derek Hough congratulating him on a “fantastic” first season.
“It felt great,” the 30-year-old shared. “I love that he said that. I love accepting love. I have so much respect for Derek and it means a lot to me.”
And while Jan and Jen’s elimination came just days after DWTS alums Maks Chmerkovskiy and Peta Chmerkovskiy questioned his ability to adequately support The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star given his lack of ballroom dancing technique, Jen emphasized that she was “so grateful” to be paired with him.
