Cheryl Burke repels intense control surrounding his physical transformation, urging the public and the media to move conversation to mental health and personal growth.
In a frank interview with Entertainment tonightThe 41 -year -old dancer has opened on the emotional assessment of the object of incessant speculation on her appearance, including rumors not based on cosmetic procedures and the use of weight loss drugs such as Ozempic.
Regarding this, Burke said: “Let’s talk about mental health. Let’s talk about what I have done in recent years when I was not under the spotlight. I did so much work on myself, and I am proud. I want the conversation to be more focused on this.”
According to Daily mailBurke has recognized that being in the public’s eyes is accompanied by a certain control, but said that the recent wave of online comments had crossed the line in gas.
In addition, she admitted: “If I said that it did not affect me, I would lie. But that did not affect me as bad as when I was in the series. I am not here to prevent people from speaking, but I want to influence those who relate to my trip – especially young women – to recognize that there is more to a person than their physical appearance.”
In addition, the former professional dancer, who divorced actor Matthew Lawrence in 2022, also revealed her long -standing struggle with body dysmorphia, which began during his childhood and was exacerbated during his time in the program because of constant fittings and a concern with her weight.
“I used to travel with a scale,” she said. “This number dictated what I felt every day. It is not a way to live.”
Burke has attributed its recent physical changes to a change in its eating habits, thanks in part to a food program called Zen, rather than all medical interventions.
Last week, she approached the current speculation in a Tiktok video, refuting the claims that she had undergone facial surgery or used Ozempic.
She added: “It’s me at 41 years old. I changed because life changed me. I lived a trauma, a divorce, a sobriety, a reinvention. I always heal, I grow and present myself.”
In addition, Burke has closed his message with a firm position on the limits, declaring: “If you are here to speculate, compare or demand answers to which you are not entitled, you are not welcome. I don’t owe anyone to explain my healing. “
