Cheryl Burke is one of my favorites in the Dancing with the Stars not because I know her family but because she is really a good dancer. I myself was surprised to see her put on some weights. But still she could manage to dance just like what she has been doing when she won twice in the DWTS.
I am positive that with the shaking in the long rehearsals, she would shed the extra poundage.
She will always be supported by her legion of fans.
After putting on a few pounds during the break and getting flak for it when Dancing With the Stars premiered its seventh season, Cheryl Burke fought back, telling PEOPLE, “You don’t have to be anorexic to be beautiful.”
Now, her friends and colleagues are speaking out in support of the two-time Dancing champ.
“That’s the one part of the Internet that I find at times to be very unsettling. It encourages this sort of cowardly unkindness,” DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba says. “It takes a lot of courage for people to stand tall just as they are. She is a beautiful talented girl who is a role model to many girls out there for just being who she is.”
Fellow dancer and close friend Kym Johnson says Burke, a size four, decided to draw attention to the issue to encourage people to love themselves as they are.
“Cheryl is a very level-headed girl. Obviously, [the comments] were hurtful, but she can rise above that stuff. She’s a very classy, strong woman and ultimately she didn’t let it get to her,” says Johnson, noting that neither Burke nor any of the dancers have been pressured to look a certain way. “[The show's producers] like the healthy bodies all of us dancers have. Cheryl’s body is incredible. Everybody comments on how she looks and how beautiful her body is. I found it really bizarre people were saying stuff like that.”
