- The departure of Anthony Colette could threaten the future of the show according to him.
Maxime Dereymez spoke out on the matter. While his dance friend Anthony Colette was ousted from the program “Dancing with the Stars”, he gave his opinion in the columns of Closer. In your magazine to be found on newsstands on January 25, 2025, Maxime Dereymez indeed confided in the departure of the dancer without mincing his words. “These are the choices of the production and the channel, but I think it's a big mistake.” he said.
According to him, Anthony Colette should have stayed on the air not only because he is the one that the viewers appreciate the most but also because he has his place in the show as a professional. “Anthony is one of the darlings of the viewers.I am very doubtful about their willingness to change some dancers from one year to the next. If the success of the show in the United States has continued for 32 seasons, it is also because there is a real loyalty with the dancers who do a great job like Anthony.” Maxime Dereymez added.

As a reminder, it was on January 15, 2025 that Anthony Colette announced his departure on Instagram. “Today, it's time to say thank you to the public and to all the teams working on this program. It would be a lie to claim that I voluntarily chose to stop this adventure now. I'm not going to pretend to say that it was the right time either, because I haven't decided anything.” he said declared.
Marked by his departure, Anthony Colette added: “I don't necessarily understand the reasons for my absence, certainly, but life has decided otherwise, and I have to accept.“
Dancing with the Stars: Maxime Dereymez is not re-signing
It should be noted that Maxime Dereymez will not be part of the new season of “Dancing with the Stars” either. While his employment contract was ready, he was not solicited by the production. The cause ? His partner's withdrawal. “Unfortunately, my partner pulled out at the last minute. Out of respect for her, I won't tell you her identity, but I can tell you that our duet would have been fantastic.” he explained.
