CHERYL BURKE CLAPS BACK AT BODY-SHAMERS: 'STOP COMPARING ME TO MY 20-YEAR-OLD SELF!'
The Dancing With the Stars legend is done with the online haters — and she's got a message about aging gracefully.
Cheryl Burke is setting the record straight about her body, and honestly? We're here for it. The DWTS alum, 42, recently opened up on the Dory Jackson Interview Series about constantly being compared to her younger self — and she's had it up to HERE. "I was jacked, like my legs were — I was like a bodybuilder down there," Burke said during the Wednesday, July 1 sit-down, reflecting on her physique during her peak dancing years.
But here's the thing: the legendary pro dancer isn't interested in chasing that version of herself anymore, and she's calling out anyone who expects her to. After nearly two decades in the spotlight, Burke knows better than to let the peanut gallery dictate how she should look or feel about her body at this stage of her life.
It's a refreshing dose of reality in an industry obsessed with youth and comparison culture. Burke's message? She's celebrating the HERE AND NOW — not competing with a highlight reel from two decades ago. Amen to that!
