Dancing with the Stars professional Sharna Burgess has some ideas in regards to the present’s upcoming Season 32 lineup.
Calling it general an “incredible” lineup, the Season 27 Mirrorball winner had one objection: former NFL operating again Adrian Peterson.
“There’s one person that I would love to share I’m really shocked is on there, which is Adrian Peterson, a football player,” mentioned Burgess on the podcast she hosts with boyfriend and former DWTS associate Brian Austin Green. “I had some people reach out to me and say, ‘Have you seen this? Do you know his history?’ I looked it up. The man has been charged with child abuse of his 4-year-old son, in the way that he punishes him. That is just devastating for me.”
In September 2014, Peterson was indicted by a grand jury on expenses of reckless or negligent damage to a baby, after he had used a wood implement to self-discipline his 4-year-old son.
In November of that very same 12 months, Peterson pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor cost of recklessly assaulting his son. He prevented a jail sentence by agreeing to a plea settlement. Peterson was suspended for a 12 months by the NFL.
In 2018, the operating again mentioned he nonetheless disciplined his son with a belt.
Burgess, who has been partnered with athletes resembling NFL legends Keyshawn Johnson and Antonio Brown on the present, mentioned she wouldn’t work with Peterson in the event that they have been paired.
“I’m telling you now if I walked into a room and that was my partner, I would turn around and walk right back out. There is no way — now being a mother — I would be able to stomach that. But him aside, the rest of the cast looks incredible.”
