Sharna Burgess Slams John Stamos Over Dancing With the Stars Comments

Why John Stamos Turns Down 'Dancing With the Stars' "Every Single Season"

Have mercy—because John Stamos is catching heat from Sharna Burgess over his thoughts about Dancing With the Stars.

Days after the Full House alum shared with season 27 winner Bobby Bones how he's declined joining the ABC dance competition because "what makes that show good is people suffering and looking like fools," the former DWTS pro clapped back at his candid remarks.

"Why do I care because I’m not on the show? Because I was on the show for 15 years," Burgess began in a since-deleted video shared on her Instagram Story, according to EntertainmentNow. "Because the man that you’re speaking to is the man that I won with, who was the underdog, who laid it all out on the floor every time on what he did not start off being good at."

The 41-year-old added, "That is the last thing Dancing With the Stars is about."

Indeed, Burgess was partnered with Bones, 46, when he took home the Mirrorball Trophy in 2018.

But, in the years since, Bones faced backlash over his victory—with DWTS co-host Julianne Hough and former emcee Tom Bergeron publicly saying that they didn't think the radio DJ deserved to win—leading him to voluntarily return his prize to producers.

In fact, when Stamos recently appeared on Bones' The BobbyCast, he jokingly reiterated the same sentiment.

"You shouldn't have won," Stamos quipped to Bones, playfully arguing that Fuller House costar Juan Pablo Di Pace "got 10s all the way across the board, and you came in and somehow won."

Ribbing that the competition was "rigged," Stamos jokingly added, "I was gonna call ABC!"

However, Bones—who reconciled with Bergeron earlier this year after receiving an apology—now takes criticism over his victory in stride. As he joked to Stamos, "I'm the jackass!"

"I never had a plan to do it, but ABC—because I was going on my fourth season with Idol—said you needed to do that show as promotion," he continued, explaining how he had zero dance experience before the show. "No one that has never danced has won, but I just kept blasting and I won."

And that's why Bones told Stamos that he believes the Grandfathered alum would make a great DWTS contestant.

"You would love it," he said. "You would learn so much about yourself."
