Lea Thompson has opened up about her challenging experience working with Artem Chigvintsev during their time on 'Dancing with the Stars' in 2014. Thompson described Chigvintsev as 'intense' and 'implacable,' noting his rigid training methods made her 'nervous' and 'crazy.' She highlighted their creative differences, with her background in ballet and modern dance contrasting sharply with his focus on ballroom. Thompson also revealed that Chigvintsev made a 'weird' comment, asserting that 'men are much better than women' because they are 'stronger.' These reflections come in the wake of Chigvintsev's recent arrest for domestic violence, which has shocked his colleagues and fans.
