Cheryl Burke’s Dancing Pals Speak Out in Support
After putting on a few pounds during the break and getting flak for it when Dancing With the Stars premiered its seventh season, Cheryl Burke fought back, telling PEOPLE, “You don’t have to be anorexic to be beautiful.”
Now, her friends and colleagues are speaking out in support of the two-time Dancing champ.
“That’s the one part of the Internet that I find at times to be very unsettling. It encourages this sort of cowardly unkindness,” DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba says. “It takes a lot of courage for people to stand tall just as they are. She is a beautiful talented girl who is a role model to many girls out there for just being who she is.”
Fellow dancer and close friend Kym Johnson says Burke, a size four, decided to draw attention to the issue to encourage people to love themselves as they are.
“Cheryl is a very level-headed girl. Obviously, [the comments] were hurtful, but she can rise above that stuff. She’s a very classy, strong woman and ultimately she didn’t let it get to her,” says Johnson, noting that neither Burke nor any of the dancers have been pressured to look a certain way. “[The show's producers] like the healthy bodies all of us dancers have. Cheryl’s body is incredible. Everybody comments on how she looks and how beautiful her body is. I found it really bizarre people were saying stuff like that.”
Burke’s season six partner, actor Cristian de la Fuente agrees.
“We live in a very plastic society where everybody needs to be a size zero. If somebody gains five pounds or ten pounds it’s not a crime,” de la Fuente says. “It’s life.”

This season, six ballroom couples, all 13 and under, will compete. Judges Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman and Carrie Ann Inaba will select their favorite team of the night. That team will then return later in the season for another performance. This week two teams dance live.

I enjoyed tonight's show very much.
I was so happy with Lance & Lacey's performance. Loved the costumes, the gothic aspect of their tango and they tied with Brooke & Derek with the highest scores of the evening. I am very proud of Lance.
I also loved Brooke & Derek. Brooke continues to amaze me, being a mother of four small children and at the age of 36, she just oozes of sensuality and sexiness. They will go far in the competition.
I am also pleased that Cody & Julianne did well tonight. Cody finally got serious and stopped being so goofy and if he stays serious, he could really do well and go far.
I was really surprised and very impressed with Susan & Tony tonight. Susan, at the age of 61, was phenomenal and of course I am a 30 year viewer of All My Children and love to watch her character, Erica Kane!
I think Rocco & Karina will be toast tomorrow. And Cloris & Corky will probably go next week.
Personally, I would like to see Brooke, Cody and Lance in the final 3.
