'Dancing With The Stars' Bruno Tonioli Quits? Len Goodman's Fellow Judge Threatens To Leave If Not Given Head Judge Position

Is Dancing with the Stars about to undergo another change for it upcoming season? On the heels of judge Len Goodman and professional dancer Cheryl Burke departing the series, it looks like another important member might be bidding ado to the ABC reality competition. Bruno Tonioli, who has been one of the core judges for the program since its inception, is reportedly giving the producers an ultimatum: Either he takes the head judges spot left vacant by Goodman or he's walking.

According to Dirty Celebrity Laundry, a war has erupted between the members of the DWTS family, as everyone seems to be competing for the spot left open by Len's exit. It's even being rumored that former dancing competitor Maksim Chmerkovskiy will join the panel.

In the Dec. 29 edition of GLOBE magazine, it is being reported that Tonioli has approached the execs at the show and asked for the spot as well as a raise. But it seems they are uninterested in having him take over the position and are looking at Chmerkovskiy instead because he's more controversial.

"Top brass have made it clear that they want someone with the same feisty attitude as Len — and Maks fits the bill perfectly," the source explained. "Maks is a real hot head and craves being the center of attention. He's convinced he is going to be the star of the show — and he doesn't care who he hurts!"

One of those people being Bruno, who's not too happy about being overlooked for the position.

"Now, after the snub Bruno is thinking it's time he called it quits, too," the site explained.
