“The assumptions are just exhausting”: Cheryl Burke shuts down Ozempic and surgery rumors

Cheryl Burke has slammed critics who were talking about her looks and alleging that the dancer is using Ozempic. Recently, social media users started speculating that she used Ozempic for weight loss or has undergone plastic surgery. The speculation started after fans noticed changes in her recently uploaded photos and videos when compared to her old ones.

On Sunday, Burke denied the rumors surrounding her looks in a TikTok video by saying,

"I’m not on Ozempic. I’m not sick. I didn’t get a face transplant, and no, I didn’t get a brow lift. The level of projection that is happening and that I’m witnessing is wild."

She further continued,

"I hate to break it to you, but that Cheryl doesn’t exist anymore. The assumptions are just exhausting as hell."

Cheryl’s reply was straight to the point and shut down the false claims. Her strong response put the rumors to rest.

Cheryl Burke shares why her looks have changed

While Cheryl denied all the allegations and any rumors about having work done on her face and using Ozempic, she also revealed the reason behind the change in her look in a TikTok video. She explained,

"My face has changed because I’ve changed. I’ve experienced so much trauma, divorce, and this is by no means a pity party. Sobriety, burnout, reinvention, I’ve healed, I’ve lost, I’ve grieved like anybody else."

Cheryl Burke divorced her ex-husband, Matthew Lawrence, in 2022 after almost three years of marriage. The forty-one-year-old dancer has been active in the industry since 1988.

In the I Do, Part Two podcast with Jana Kramer, Burke opened up about her divorce by saying,

"I think the first thing we do is, in a way, shame ourselves, blame ourselves, and definitely try to put the pieces together and get answers"

She further continued,

"I think naturally, my brain went to, yeah — what did I do wrong? Did I not sleep with him enough? There's all these questions that I ask myself. Was I not there emotionally? But ultimately, intellectually, I know, of course, it has nothing to do with me. It has everything to do with that person."

Burke’s experience showed the pain and confusion she felt after her divorce, which she also talked about in her explanation when addressing the rumors about her appearance.

In the TikTok video, Cheryl Burke shared that she is focused on healing, growing, and choosing to show up as her true self. She also welcomed anyone willing to evolve, unlearn, and offer support to join her on this journey.

The video of Cheryl Burke is getting praise and appreciation from her fans. Many are admiring her honesty and supporting her on social media.
