The latest Dancing With the Stars drama might be too hot to handle for some.
In 2023, reality star Harry Jowsey competed on the 32nd season of DWTS, on which he partnered with Rylee Arnold, but he says he's now "glad" he's no longer friends with the cast.
"It was the best experience ever, so rewarding and amazing," Jowsey told fellow DWTS alum Danielle Fishel on the Teen Beat podcast. "Everyone was really lovely, and then they weren't. When the next season comes around, everyone stops talking to you ... I realized that a lot of people would not text me back or unfollowed me."

For the Too Hot to Handle star, what "upset me the most" was when his father died in December 2024. "No one texted me, and I was really close to them," he told Fishel, adding that the one person he heard from was DWTS pro and fellow Australian Sasha Farber. "So I was like, I don't know if you guys are really my friends. It was just horrible. I was trying my best with all the noise and everything. I'm glad I'm not friends with any of them because of [that]."
Jowsey went on to mention that he even trained in the gym with one of the pros every day, filling that person in on the status of his dad's declining health, only to just get a like on his Instagram post announcing his loss.

If the situations were reversed, Jowsey "would have moved mountains" to be there for them. "So that's why I'm glad that chapter [is over]," he said. "Because I don't know if you're really real people."

Jowsey wrapped up the conversation about the show by declaring that "I'm probably going to get in trouble for that," but "I don't really care."
Jowsey and Arnold finished in sixth place on season 32, after which he joined the DWTS tour for select dates in 2024.
