Cheryl Burke shocked fans with a makeup-free video after calling out trolls for commenting on her “thin” appearance.
The former “Dancing With the Stars” pro recently took to TikTok to share a video of herself getting ready and talking about “navigating life transitions with grace.”
“Change is a constant in life,” she said. “And learning how to really embrace it can actually lead to incredible personal growth.”
Burke, 41, shared that her therapist encouraged her to believe in her ability to evolve, and how she’s focused on self-care for “balance” in her life.
“What I’ve experienced from all these life changes [is] to really just surrender,” she added.
By the end of the dance pro’s encouraging video, she stunned in light glam with peach tones.
While some people praised Burke’s “good advice,” critics claimed she looked “unrecognizable.”
“Her face looks so different all of a sudden,” one person wrote. “I hope she is OK.”
“Why do you not look like you? You’re beautiful, but you were beautiful before too!” another added, as a third chimed in, “Who is this?”
Burke’s supporters, however, called out the “rude comments,” with one writing, “You all realize Cheryl is reading them.”
“I love your freckles, don’t cover them. Natural beauty,” a fan added.
“You are beautiful naturally,” another comment read, as a fourth person gushed, “Love you! You’re beautiful inside and out.”
Reps for Burke weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Last month, Burke called out critics who labeled her “too thin” after saying she was “too heavy.”
“People will watch a 30-second video and think they know everything about you, your health, your worth [and] your story. I’ve seen the comments [that read], ‘She looks too thin,’ ‘She wears too much makeup,’ [and] ‘what happened to her,’” Burke said via a TikTok video.
“Here’s my answer,” she added. “Nothing happened to me, except healing. I’m not sick and not broken. In fact, I’ve never felt more alive, more grounded in who I am, and more at peace in this body.”
Burke urged those who criticized her to “take a back seat” because she wasn’t seeking approval from other people.
