'Dancing With The Stars' Sharna Burgess Was Made Uncomfortable By TWO Dance Partners

As the 32nd season of "Dancing With The Stars" gets into full thrust, Sharna Burgess is reminiscing her experience with some dance partners on the dance show.

The dance pro spilled juicy details about her time on the show with fellow dancer Cheryl Burke, also an alum of the competition. Burgess, who won the Mirrorball Trophy in 2018 during the show's 27th season, recently said "yes" to forever with the love of her life.

The professional ballroom dancer sat down with Burke on her podcast per iHeartradio and spoke up about an unpleasant experience with two partners. Burgess said these people made her uncomfortable and displayed absolute disrespect on the dance floor. She said:

"I have in the past had two partners that made me feel very, very uncomfortable. At the time I was much younger and I would laugh it up and suck it up and I would make it ok."

The legend reports that her partner was sexually suggestive around her and then became frustrated as she didn't return the energy. Burgess even disclosed that a producer advised her to get along with the program when she spoke up, stressing that Burgess should "know what men are like."

She continued that the incident happened long before the Me Too movement surfaced, and now she's more confident and has learned to set necessary boundaries.

"I learned during and after Me Too, women coming forward and saying, from the big to the little things, I was like holy sh*t that happened to me, I didn't even realize that I could speak up about it." said the 38-year-old.

She has since learned how to defend herself, even in another situation where she saw that she and her dance partner were being watched uncomfortably. She said:

“That was a difficult situation for me. but I went through the proper channels, and unfortunately, I wasn't able to record everything, but I was able to record some things, and I did do the proper things, and there were reports made, and I was taken care of."

While Burgess stressed that the situation wasn't sexual in any way, Burke validated her feelings by saying, "at the end of the day, no need to explain. You were uncomfortable, that's a complete sentence." A relaxed Burgess added that she did the right thing and could work without living in constant "shame or fear."

Speaking of podcasts, The Blast recently shared that the dancer and her partner, Brian Austin Green, launched their new podcast. The new project titled "Old-Ish" is run alongside Randy Spelling and features all the scoops about their personal life.

The first episode aired on September 12, and the couple celebrated the impressive feat with a cute choreographed clip featuring Cee-Lo's "I'll Be Around" on Instagram. The trio previously announced the launch on September 11 as Spelling shared it on his Facebook page:

"I’m excited to announce the release of our new podcast ‘Old-ish.’ Together with @brianaustingreen and @sharnaburgess."

Aside from launching a podcast together, Burgess and Green have taken the next step towards forever three years after being boyfriend and girlfriend. Per The Blast, the lovebirds announced their engagement on a recent episode of the podcast "Old-ish."

The couple excitedly shared how the unique and intimate proposal went with Spelling, tagging it a "double surprise." Green revealed that he popped the question at his 50th birthday party in July, meaning it's been a secret for two months now.

The surprise party was thrown by Sharna, who had no idea what was coming, and Green made it a perfect night with his children's help. Burgess detailed the sequence of events to Spelling as she said:

"The kids come in with him. Noah is holding Zane, and Journey is holding this little red Cartier box. And they all come in there, and they stand next to Brian. He takes the box from Journey, and he says, 'Would you spend the rest of your life with us?'"

The Australian couldn't believe her eyes as she happily accepted the ring and gave the entire "tribe" a hug. She continued, "I love that that's how he wanted to do it…To have this beautiful, intimate moment with my people, my tribe standing right there, bringing me in with this gorgeous ring that is a dream."
