Women supporting women. Sharna Burgess dismissed the idea that she should be “competitive” with fiancé Brian Austin Green‘s ex-wife, Megan Fox.“I think everyone wants this gossip on Megan and I because, you know, we essentially have been with the same man, but there is no gossip there,” the Dancing With the Stars pro, 36, told Us Weekly exclusively ahead of The Modern Day Wife‘s What She Said panel on Thursday, March 25. “[People are] fascinated with this idea of us being in the same story, whereas her story finished with [Brian]. … People just wanna blend it into something else and make it is something that it’s not.”Burgess continued: “We’re two women that are living our lives and doing, you know, incredible things on our own.

And we’re both incredible women on our own.”The Australia native added that she feels the comparisons between her and Fox, 35, are just another attempt to start drama between the two women. “It’s such a shame that women are pitted against each other and that women … are believed to be competitive with one another when we don’t have to be,” she said. “We can just be supportive of one another and there is so much more power in that.”Earlier this month, Burgess shut down an Instagram comment that said she was “following in Megan Fox’s footsteps” through her relationship with Green, 48. “Normally I wouldn’t answer these types of questions but I think many women struggle with comparing themselves to a partners x [SIC].

Or to other women in general,” she wrote at the time. “That’s because society has made out that we are a bitchy and competitive gender, that we can’t possibly be happy with who we are without wanting what ‘she’ (whoever that is to you) has.
