Miller, star of Dance Moms, was judging Chmerkovskiy's Rumba with his celebrity partner Meryl Davis and criticized the latter's footwork. After the criticism, Chmerkovskiy told co-host Erin Andrews, "I really don't care for anything [Miller] has to say."
Miller told E! News after the show that she wasn't too concerned about Chmerkovskiy's comments, though she did fire back one last time.

"I don't think it was hurtful to me, no sweat off of my back," she said. "But I think it was a little disrespectful to ABC and to Dancing With the Stars and to a judge."
She also noted that Davis' footwork was "horrendous," despite saying that "coming into this tonight, I thought she was the shoo-in for the win."
Chmerkovskiy is not concerned about any backlash received from his comments either.
"I just answered the question," he told E! News. "Someone asked me a question and I answered it. That's what it was...I can't lie, but you'll see it on my face. It is what it is."
Miller was critical in making Davis and Chmerkovskiy the lowest-scoring couple of the night, giving them an "8" on their Rumba while the other judges gave them "9"s and "10"s. She also gave the couple an "8" for their duo dance with Danica McKellar and Val Chmerkovskiy, who were eliminated at the end of the night.
Dancing With the Stars season 18 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
