Lea Thompson says that when her former Dancing with the Stars partner Artem Chigvintsev was arrested last month, she was surprised. But she was also reminded of a weird opinion he once shared with her.

The one really crazy thing that he said to me was that made me think about [his arrest] ... I remember him telling me that men are much better than women, Thompson recalled a little over an hour into Mondays episode of Cheryl Burkes podcast Sex, Lies and Spray Tan .

Thompson was partnered with Chigvintsev in 2014 on Season 19 of the long-running dance competition show.

The Back to the Future alum said that when she questioned Chigvintsev about why he thought men were better than women, he replied, because theyre stronger.
