Anderson posted a TikTok video Thursday addressing the people who’ve been asking why Johnson, 30, has been “touching [her] man like that” on the ABC show.

“It’s her job,” Anderson told her followers via TikTok Tursday.kelseyalexandraan/TikTok“Honestly, I don’t know, maybe because it’s her job,” the 26-year-old sarcastically replied. “Maybe because she’s a professional dancer and she has to touch him to dance. I don’t know. That’s my understanding of it.”
As for assertions that the reality star is “strong” for watching her partner and Johnson, Anderson asked, “Do y’all remember how Joey and I met?”
She reminded her followers that Graziadei, 29, was “dating 31 other women” when they fell in love on Season 20 of “The Bachelor.”

Anderson joked, “I won the Super Bowl ring. I have to have a certain level of security to go through all that. Joey and I [are] still together and strong after a year of all that craziness. We are all good in the hood.
“If I can survive that, I can survive watching him dance with a married woman with a cute little baby boy, she continued, referencing Johnson’s 1-year-old son, Rome, with husband Val Chmerkovskiy.
Anderson noted that her partner gives her “reassurance.”
