She continued: “I have not made a single comment publicly about the honor for several reasons.” “First, I know this isn’t about me. It’s about Lynn and the honor he deserves. Second, this hurts me more than not being asked to respond and I’m working on this. Third, sharing feelings here is often met with some negativity” People who think I don’t I deserve to be there anyway. So why would I open myself up to that?”


“The man who loved me dearly and listened to me and I shared and I cried had had enough and shared his frustration with me,” Burgess noted. “He, like me, didn’t understand why. I loved him because he wanted to defend me even though he didn’t need to. I would undoubtedly do the same. We fight hard for those we love when we’re only tempted to.” Take whatever life throws at us.”


Burgess continues to receive praise for the tribute itself, which featured judge and former pro Derek Hough who kicked off proceedings by grabbing a single, lighted top hat and launching into an elegant waltz.

Val and Gina created magic and Len would have absolutely loved it. “Remember there are two things that can be true – I can To love and support the show. I feel for those who were there. “I also feel sad not to be there.”

“There are two things that could be true,” she explained. “I can love the show and be excited for everyone, but I can also feel so sad and sad that I wasn’t able to do it this season, and I don’t know if that means I’ll never be able to do it again.”
