Kaitlyn Bristowe is bringing her thoughts to the dance floor. 

The former Bachelorette star called out Brian Austin Green, whose fiancée Sharna Burgess as she returned to Dancing With the Stars after five years away, over a post about his recent loneliness. 

“Brian Austin Green recently came out on his social media talking about how he went to a movie alone,” Bristowe said on the Oct. 6 of her Off the Vine podcast. “He was saying how hard it is that Sharna’s not there with him every day and she’s with [partner Tyler Cameron] every day.”

The 41-year-old was immediately put off by his comments, especially in regard to Burgess. 

“I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ I feel like he humiliated her on his social media, made her feel bad,” the Dancing With the Stars season 29 winner continued. “He was basically saying, ‘You’re never home. I am all alone. And you’re spending every day with Tyler.’”

Of course, she noted that she didn’t “wanna disregard” the 90210 alum’s feeling, “But maybe go to your therapist and not social media and shame your [fiancée] while she’s working her ass off and got invited back to do her dream job.”

Bristowe also mused that going to the movies alone is a luxury, especially for someone like Green who has five kids—son Kassius, 24, with ex-girlfriend Vanessa Marcil, kids Noah, 14, Bodhi, 12 and Journey, 10, with ex-wife Megan Fox, as well as 4-year-old son Zane with Burgess.

“I’m just like, ‘You have time to go to the movies alone? How luxurious,’” she said. “Why are you here? Why are you saying all of this?”

E! News reached out to Green and Burgess’ reps for comment but did not hear back.

Green had originally raised eyebrows when he’d posted about his solo movie plans, saying in a Sept. 26 Instagram video, “Just haven't had a good couple days and I think it's important to share that we have a lot of great days, and then some days you have? Not so much. But we persevere.”

After the video, the 53-year-old apologized to Burgess and her partner Tyler, saying, “Baby, Tyler, I couldn’t be sorrier for any distraction I have caused.”

“I have just horribly tainted that experience,” he continued. “I’m incredibly lonely. I am just going through a lot.”

As for Burgess, while the dancing pro has not directly responded to Green’s message, the 41-year-old had previously shared how he supported her decision to rejoin DWTS. 

“My guy, he’s an absolute legend,” she told Us Weekly in September about her fiancé of three years. “Brian, he runs me Epsom salt spas for when I get home. He is taking notes. He’s got food ready for me. He wakes up with me [at] my 5:30 a.m. [alarm] and makes me coffee, like he’s doing everything to hold it down at home and support.”
