Wynne shared today's front page of the newspaper detailing the programme's toxicity row, amid claims Naga was reprimanded by bosses over two incidents in three years — including allegations she bullied a junior staffer.
Posting The Sun front page in a now-deleted post, Wynne said: "I really wish Naga well and I hope she doesn't get hounded.
"But come on @bbc @bbccymruwales what double standards.
"Tim Davie [Director-general of the BBC] promised to protect people on Strictly from being hounded by the press, but he won't even meet with me."
Wynne recently sat down with The Sun's Clemmie Moodie to reveal his side of the story after losing his job following three allegations levelled against him.
The first, dubbed 'gropegate', came when he moved his hand over pro partner Katya Jones' waist in the Clauditorium.
The other was when The Sun on Sunday revealed he had sent a sex toy to Jamie, which the EastEnders star was caught on camera laughing about.
The third was from a video of him saying 'spit-roast' at a Strictly photocall which, it was claimed, was in relation to married pro Janette Manrara.
He accused the BBC of abandoning him in the wake of a series of controversies that erupted during and after his time on Strictly Come Dancing.
The corporation said he was offered a dedicated contact at the BBC and was offered "continued" mental health support since his contract concluded.

Director General Tim Davie issued an unprecedented apology, and vowed to clean the show up, after a formal complaint from actress Amanda Abbington into Giovanni Pernice's behaviour.
A raft of ex-contestants then came forward with their own horror stories. Another dancer, Graziano Di Prima was then fired after a video emerged of him kicking his partner Zara McDermott.
Naga is the first female presenter to be caught up in the series of scandals which have gripped the Beeb.
She was reprimanded by a senior producer over the sex jibe, but no formal action was taken.
As the BBC is now facing questions of double standards, an insider said: 'If a male presenter made a sexual comment like that or falsely accused someone of theft, he'd be out the door. But with Naga, it gets brushed off.'
A BBC spokesperson said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously.'
