An insider tells Us Weekly the crew is "livid" with the Ukrainian dance pro's bad attitude. Among his missteps: bad-mouthing Derek Hough during a "Good Morning America" interview; telling reporters backstage on November 14, "F--- [judge] Carrie Ann [Inaba]"; and refusing to speak to journalists after he and Hope Solo were voted off Nov. 15. (The source claims ABC told the pro, 31, not to do press.)

"He's a poor sport," says the insider. "People are suggesting he get anger management!" Many crew members also believe "Maks' antics reflect poorly on the show."
