Cheryl Burke said in a new interview that she isn't sure she got 'closure' after fellow 'Dancing with the Stars' pro Maks Chmerkovskiy apologized for fat-shaming her.
Cheryl Burke is getting real about the fat-shaming she endured during the years 'Dancing with the Stars' was 'getting Super Bowl ratings.' Burke, 39, left the ballroom dancing competition in 2022 after 26 seasons as a pro. At the show's peak, Burke endured comments about her weight from viewers and fellow professionals – including Maks Chmerkovskiy. ' apologized years ago when this whole thing happened.
think that was when people started coming in a way after me, and you can’t really – it’s hard because I was growing up in front of people’s eyes on TV. I started when I was 21, and your hormones change, and I did gain some weight,' she told the New York Post. 'I base my life off of seasons here, but I think it was like season 7 or 8, right before I danced with Gilles Marini.
Despite the rough times she's endured, Burke credited the show for saving her and keeping her motivated. 'I guess it always goes back to how dancing in a way has saved my life in many ways,' she previously explained to Fox News Digital after filming the season 31 premiere in 2022.
