Soccer star Hope Solo makes a bombshell claim in her new memoir, claiming her "Dancing With the Stars" partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy was physically aggressive during their partnership for the ABC show last year, even slapping her in the face.

In the new book "Solo: A Memoir of Hope," the 31-year-old professional athlete accused Chmerkovskiy, 32, of using shoves and slaps when she would not get her dance moves correct during rehearsals.

"He manhandled me in rehearsals from the start, pushing me, whacking my stomach, bending my arms roughly. I thought that was just hot it went - how dancers worked with each other," she wrote. "But it kept getting worse. One day, Maks was trying to put me in a certain position and hit my stomach so hard with his open palm that I had a red handprint there for the rest of the day."

Solo also said he "slapped" her "hard" on her face while rehearsing, according to Us magazine.
