Cheryl Burke Hits Back at Critics Over Eyebrows: The Real Story Behind the Controversy

Cheryl Burke addressed critics who mocked her appearance, particularly her eyebrows, on Instagram. The former Dancing With the Stars pro explained that her bone structure causes her eyebrows to appear low due to sunken temples.

Burke mentioned considering filler to address the sunken look while emphasizing that she's open to constructive criticism but not blatant body-shaming. She urged critics to focus on their own faces and not hers.

This isn't the first time Burke has responded to haters. In 2025, she defended herself against criticism after guest judging on Dancing With the Stars. She received backlash for her scores, leading to comments about her appearance.

Burke defended her critiques, citing her experience on the show and in dance. She addressed body shaming and emphasized the importance of not tolerating such behavior, especially in front of children.

Despite facing scrutiny over her appearance, Burke remains unafraid to speak up for herself. She clarified that she did not use weight loss medication and instead focused on changing her eating habits to lose weight.
