Cheryl Burke Reveals Trauma of Being Called Fat

Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke has one of TV’s most famously toned bodies – but that didn’t stop her confidence from being shaken in July 2008 when a tabloid published photos of her looking heavier.

“One night I was supposed to go out with my friends but I couldn’t do it. Every time someone looked at me I was like, ‘That person thinks I’m fat,’ ” recalls Burke, who estimates she had gained 5 to 10 lbs. while on hiatus from the show.
