Cheryl Burke Bites Back on 'Extra'

October 10, 2008 | Dancing with the Stars

She blasted bloggers for calling her fat -- now Cheryl Burke is speaking up on today's episode of "Extra!" The "Dancing with the Stars" stunner will tackle questions about her weight -- and answer fan questions about her body.

After gaining five pounds, Cheryl was mocked for her size -- with some bloggers sniping that she looked pregnant. "When I was younger, I wasn't stick-thin," she explained to People. "I wasn't tall. I don't have long legs. I wasn't naturally skinny. As I grew older, I just became more comfortable in my own skin."

Tune in to "Extra" tonight -- and check back here soon for the interview!

Every woman should be as FAT as Cheryl..How ridiculous! She is gorgeous, sexy and an amazing dancer. Don’t listen to those negative statements about you…they are probably just jealous. Cheryl is one of my favorites on the show and she looks FANTASTIC….

Cheryl sets an excellent example of a woman who is not obsessed with weight, who is healthy, and beautiful without being stick thin. Go Cheryl!

I love Cheryl’s body & aplaude her for not falling into Hollywood’s mold of excessively skinny women. As a Latina woman I can relate to her figure, as we are brought up to have curves. Cheryl you are a beautiful woman! :)

Cheryl don’t pay any attention to those people that said anything about your weight,they are just jealous of how beautiful you are. The envy is what make them talk all that nonsense. Just remember what makes you happy and how you feel is what’s important not what other people think. May God Bless You.

She is perfectly fine the way she is, Just because she gained a little weight doesn’t mean that people should judge her. She dances the same if not better & she is great at it. Congrats I’m still voting for you !!! =D

Cheryl, A long time ago my parents taught me that if you don’t have anything good to say about someone, then don’t say anything at all. Me and the boys think your hot just the way you are. You go girl!!!!!!!!!!

Cheryl,

Continue to do what’s best for you. You ara a great dancer and I love to see you glide across the floor with your partner. Just think, people would love to be in your shoes and they are a bit jealous of something they can’t have even with your weight gain.

Love you and keep up those powerful dancings.

It’s about time that women start to look like women again, like back in the 50s, and not like walking skeletons with skin hanging on their bones.

Cheryl is beautiful and a great dancer. Not everyone has to be as skinny as Edyta or Karina!!! No one attacks the overweight contestants, so why in the world would someone attack a perfectly healthy pro? That’s just stupid!

well she did gain weight..it shows on tv..they say tv makes one appear a lot bigger than in person…nothing wrong with that….she still looks curvaceous….people have been accustomed to seeing those skinny contestants…These professional women dancers are all well shaped..curves on the right places….
