In the wake of Artem Chigvintsev’s arrest on domestic violence charges, Gleb Savchenko shared his thoughts about his friend.

Despite the legal drama, Savchenko had only positive things to say about Artem. “He’s part of the family,” Gleb told E! News. “He’s such a great dancer that people don’t realize. He’s the quality. It’s not about quantity, it’s about the quality.” He also added, “He’s just my brother, and I love him and positivity.”
