Maksim Chmerkovskiy may sue Hope Solo

The facts: Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were partners on Dancing with the Stars and had a shakey relationship at best!

Fast forward to a recent article in USA TODAY in which Hope says he hit her, was rough with her, even left a mark on her stomach one day!  

Well, that day Maks tweeted out, "Always hated hypocrites and liars ... but when someone is both AND an opportunist, I just feel bad for them. Can't win at someone's expense ..."  

Even Kirstie Alley, who will dance with him again tweeted "I shall bite thine tongue, lest I get into a girl fight that I would surely lose without a hammer in my hand...;)... ouch! bloody tongue."

Well, she was on Chelsea Lately last night talking about it:

Well now Maksim Chmerkovskiy may sue Hope Solo for saying he slapped her. A source tells the Huff Post, Maks is one of the nicest guys in the world. This is 100 percent not true. At the moment, Maks and ABC are not making any public statements, as they are considering legal options. Not only did Hope not tell the truth in the book, she also signed a contract with the producers of DWTS and could be in breach of contract.
