Maura Higgins has insisted she is refusing to partner with Gleb Savchenko on her upcoming Dancing With The Stars stint next month. Maura hopes she won't have to face the Russian professional dancer, 42, because she doesn't agree with the 'way he talks about women'. She said she will be remaining fiercely 'loyal' to her best pal and former DWTS contestant Brooks Nader, 29, who dated Gleb. 'That's only because I'm loyal and I'm friends with Brooks [Nader].' Things appeared on track again the next month, when Brooks welcomed Gleb to her family's Thanksgiving dinner.
