Brian Austin Green Criticizes Dancing With the Stars for Excluding Fiancée Sharna Burgess from Len Goodman Tribute

Green accuses DWTS of slighting Burgess and Cheryl Burke; Burgess supports tribute but voices hurt over exclusion.

  • Brian Austin Green criticized Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) for excluding his fiancée Sharna Burgess and fellow former professional Cheryl Burke from the tribute held for the late Len Goodman.
  • The tribute featured a special dance choreographed by current professionals Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson. It was part of the 'Most Memorable Year' episode, including performances from other returning pros
  • Burgess voiced her disappointment on Instagram, explaining she hadn't made a public comment about the tribute as she believed the focus should be on Goodman's honor, but admitted the exclusion hurt more than not being asked back to the show
  • Burgess had previously expressed shock at not being invited back to the show for season 32, despite telling producers she was available and eager to return. She found out she was not reinvited from fellow dancers who had been offered a spot in the cast
  • ABC, the network behind DWTS, has not immediately responded to the criticisms. New episodes of Dancing With The Stars air on ABC and also on Disney+
