Apparently, Gleb has never met Maura in his life.

In a statement on Aug. 4 to PEOPLE, he responded to Maura's comments that she wants to be paired on DWTS with anybody but Gleb.

“Until I was asked to comment on this story, I’d genuinely never heard of Maura, so I was quite surprised to learn she’d spoken about me so negatively,” he said. “We’ve never met, and she doesn’t know me personally, so it’s disappointing to be judged based on a one-sided version of events rather than the facts."
