Cheryl Burke and Maks Chmerkovskiy have moved forward from their rocky past, but one incident still stings a bit.Burke, 39, recently recalled being fat-shamed by the Ukraine native, 43, and fellow pro Louis van Amstel during the heyday of “Dancing With the Stars.”“He apologized years ago when this whole thing happened. He apologized to me and my mother, actually, which was nice of him,” Burke told The Post of Chmerkovskiy. “But look, is there closure? I don’t know if there’s closure.
I mean, it’s not just because of him saying anything. It goes back to my dancing and competition career.”“This has always been an issue because I am a curvy girl and that’s just the way it is. And I can’t change where my bones are or my hips.
And it’s just — it is what it is. And either I accept it or I don’t. And obviously, when all your whole life it’s been centered around basically that, it’s hard to accept it,” she continued.
“So I think at the end of the day, I [need] closure with myself. And in order for that to happen, I have to love me and the body that God blessed me with, really.”Burke said that she began to get body-shamed by some harsh critics when the ABC dancing competition was “getting Super Bowl ratings” and she was paired with Drew Lachey in Season 2.“It was pretty much at its peak. And with that obviously, me dancing with Drew Lachey was my first partner.
That was in the midst of Nick [Lachey] and Jessica [Simpson’s] divorce. And I 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 Post.
