Green likely views his posts as vulnerable, authentic sharing about the challenges of long-distance relationships and parenting, insisting he and Burgess are persevering through life's unpredictability.
Kaitlyn Bristowe and Joe Amabile suggest Green’s public displays of loneliness are actually a form of shaming and humiliation for Burgess, noting that his complaints about being alone are tone-deaf given his large family and her professional obligations.
On Sept. 26, Green posted an Instagram video complaining about going to the movies alone. He later apologized to Burgess and her DWTS partner Tyler Cameron for being a 'distraction.' Burgess and Green share a 4-year-old son, Zane.
If you’re going to air your dirty laundry about loneliness on social media, make sure it doesn’t look like you’re airing your partner’s work schedule for public pity.
The drama on the dance floor is spilling over into the comment sections, and Bachelor Nation alum Kaitlyn Bristowe is not holding back. During a recent episode of her "Off the Vine" podcast, Bristowe slammed Brian Austin Green for his social media rants about being "lonely" while his fiancée, Sharna Burgess, is hard at work competing on "Dancing with the Stars." Bristowe, who won the competition herself in 2020, argued that Green’s public venting has effectively "humiliated" Burgess, making her feel bad about pursuing her professional dreams.
The core of the issue? Green has been posting cryptic videos lamenting that Burgess is spending every day with her dance partner, former Bachelor contestant Tyler Cameron, leaving him feeling isolated at home. Bristowe didn't mince words, stating that while Green, 53, is entitled to his feelings, his method of expression is problematic.
She suggested that instead of "shaming" Burgess on social media while she is "working her ass off" at her "dream job," Green should seek professional help. "He was basically saying, 'You’re never home. I am all alone.
And, like, you’re spending every day with Tyler,'" Bristowe explained to co-hosts Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt. The implication is clear: Green’s need for validation via Instagram is undermining Burgess’s professional focus and adding unnecessary pressure to their relationship during a high-profile public engagement. Joe Amabile, who also competed on "DWTS" in 2018, piled on the criticism by mocking Green’s specific complaint about going to the movies alone.
"You don’t even talk in the movies," Amabile pointed out, noting that a solo movie trip is often a chosen form of relaxation rather than a pitiable state. Bristowe added another layer to the critique by highlighting Green’s home life. With five children, including a 4-year-old son, Zane, whom he shares with Burgess, Bristowe argued that going to the movies by himself is actually a "luxurious" break for the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum.
This perspective reframes Green’s loneliness as a moment of peace he seems ungrateful for, rather than a genuine crisis. Green’s behavior began with a Sept. 26 Instagram video where he told followers he was heading to the theater solo while Burgess was at rehearsals. "Just haven’t had a good couple days.
I think it’s important to share that," Green said, admitting that life "does not stop f—ing lifing." He later posted another video admitting he was "incredibly lonely" and apologized to Burgess and Cameron for being a "distraction." Bristowe, however, dismissed any jealousy concerns about Cameron, 33, noting that he is "madly in love" with his own fiancée, Tate Madden. With Burgess returning to "DWTS" after a five-year hiatus, the last thing she needs is her fiancé turning her professional comeback into a public pity party for himself.
