Cheryl Burke Addresses Plastic Surgery Rumors Once More.
Cheryl Burke is sick of saying the same thing over and over. The former Dancing With the Stars contestant clarified an online allegation that she had undergone plastic surgery to alter her appearance.
On August 15, Cheryl posted an Instagram picture with the message, “Let’s clear this up for the 1,000th time,” “Botox? Yes. Surgery? No. Fillers? No. Scars? Nonexistent. Skin bleaching? Nope.”
In addition to being open about her accomplishments, the 41-year-old revealed the real "mystery" behind her facial makeover.

“My skin tone shift is just what happens when you swap tanning beds for SPF and let your natural half-Pinay, half-white self-come through,” she clarified. “You can age gracefully and still enjoy a little Botox. Stop confusing it with plastic surgery.”
Since some admirers even went so far as to believe that Cheryl had a complete "face transplant" back in May, this was not the first time she had to deny rumors of plastic surgery.
In a video posted to TikTok at the time, she stated, “Let’s just address the elephant in the comments section,” “I’m not on Ozempic, I’m not sick, I didn’t get a face transplant and no I did not get a brow lift.”
“The level of projection that is happening and that I am witnessing is wild,” she went on. “The way some of you guys talk about me, it’s like you think I’m a headline or a filter. Not a person.”
She explained how she has encountered remarks like "we miss the old Cheryl," but she also underlined that she has changed over the decades that she has been in the spotlight.
“I hate to break it to you,” she remarked. “That Cheryl doesn’t exist anymore. The assumptions are just exhausting as hell. The accusations are completely cruel. And the fact that so many of them are actually coming from women, that’s what is so shocking and hurtful to be honest.”
The dancer has also noted that her appearance has always been a topic of public discussion, which has had a negative impact.
In a June interview with Entertainment Tonight, she admitted, "I do suffer from body dysmorphia." “Especially as a dancer in front of mirrors constantly since I was a little girl, and this was even before my Dancing with the Stars career.”
“In the height of my insecurity and my body dysmorphia was weekly fittings on the show,” she went on. “And I don't blame the show by any means it's just the name of the game. We're squeezing into these costumes, but it would affect me to the point where I would weigh myself constantly. I would travel with a scale like that's crazy.”
