00:00 I had a partner that was really difficult.
00:03 I wasn't able to be in the room alone with him.
00:06 We were eliminated very quickly.
00:07 - That claim from Sharna Burgess is ruffling some feathers
00:10 with past Dancing with the Stars partner, Jesse Metcalf.
00:13 - You want to have your own opinion,
00:15 not everyone else's opinion.
00:16 - While chatting with boyfriend, Brian Austin Green
00:18 and Randy Spelling on the premiere episode
00:21 of their Oldish podcast,
00:22 Sharna reveals she wasn't asked back as a pro dancer
00:25 for season 32 of the ABC Dancing Competition show.
00:28 - Which was definitely a huge shock to me.
00:32 And I did drop in and let them know, you know,
00:35 goes without saying,
00:35 but I would love to be back next season or this season.
00:38 Hopefully I'll get to come hang out with you guys,
00:40 whatever my message said.
00:41 And then it got to the week
00:43 of everyone getting their phone calls.
00:44 I realized when those spots were all filled
00:46 and I was like, oh my God, I didn't get the call.
00:49 I didn't get any phone call.
00:50 I had been saying to Bri for the weeks leading up to it,
00:53 I have this feeling they're not gonna have me back.
00:55 - Then she says after winning season 27
00:58 with Bobby Bones, she wasn't hired back for season 28,
01:01 but did return for season 29.
01:04 And that's when she recalls having trouble with her partner.
01:07 - I had a partner that was really difficult
01:10 and to not say, you know, too much because I don't want to,
01:13 but I wasn't able to be in the room alone with him
01:16 after the first couple of weeks
01:17 because of things that happened.
01:18 And so that was rocky and we were eliminated very quickly.
01:21 - Though she didn't name any names,
01:23 Sharna was paired up with Jesse that year
01:25 and they went home after week four.
01:27 (upbeat music)
01:30 - This experience has exceeded my expectations.
01:42 This is just, it's so fun.
01:45 I mean, it really is.
01:46 - Yeah, he's doing great.
01:47 I'm really proud of him.
01:48 - It didn't take long for Jesse's team
01:50 to catch wind of Sharna's podcast comments.
01:53 In a statement to ET, his publicist responded to her claims
01:56 saying, "The only recollection
01:58 "was that they didn't get along."
02:00 Vague insinuations are not only reckless,
02:02 but also irrelevant.
02:04 - Absolutely things are off limits.
02:07 Nothing's been off limits yet.
02:08 - Yeah, clearly nothing's off limits yet
02:10 on Brian and Sharna's podcast,
02:12 including how she feels about sitting this season out.
02:15 - She's doing great.
02:16 She's, Sharna's awesome.
02:18 - Earlier this week, Brian told ET
02:20 she's navigating life without the show, for now.
02:23 - It's a difficult situation.
02:25 There's, you know, there's
02:26 obviously just the sort of ego challenges of things
02:32 not working out the way you would like them to
02:35 and all of that, but she's a strong person.
02:37 I feel like the universe puts challenges in front of you
02:41 to force you to have to deal with things
02:43 that maybe you haven't dealt with on your own.
02:46 And then you're kind of put in a situation
02:49 where it's like, whether you want to or not,
02:52 you have to deal with these things.
