“The well-being of everyone who works on 'Dancing With the Stars' is non-negotiable. Val’s social media post was inappropriate and does not reflect the values or standards expected of anyone connected with the show. As a result, he will not participate in next week’s show," BBC Studios said in a statement.

The longtime reality star competed on the show's seventh season in 2008 alongside Mark Ballas, and finished in 11th place. So far, 'DWTS' has only had one All-Star season full of returning contestants in 2012.
