Cheryl Burke claims she gained weight after quitting birth control
Dealing with the incessant scrutiny over her body last year was “tough,” Cheryl Burke says in a new interview.
The Dancing With the Stars celeb, 24, blames her weight gain on stopping birth control.
“I decided over the summer to stop taking birth control pills. I did it thinking that I was going to lose more weight for the season,” she tells the latest issue of TV Guide. “But it actually did the opposite. It made me gain weight.”
She denies she is an emotional eater. “If anything, when I am stressed or emotional, I don’t eat,” she says.
These days, she says she is done being bullied about her figure.
“At the end of the day, I really love to dance,” she says. “It makes me want to go out there and just shut everyone up.”
Burke also has a new man, Abercrombie & Fitch model Maxwell Zagorski.

“He’s 21 going on 30,” she says. “He lives in New York, but that’s good. Because when I’m here in Los Angeles doing the show, I need my space.”
She is still friendly with her ex, actor Matthew Lawrence.
“I loved him, but we were on tour and I didn’t have the time for him that he wanted and deserved,” she says.
She still doesn’t know who spread those rumors that she had a fling with her married former partner, Drew Lachey, but she thinks it was someone on the DWTS tour.
“I never felt so uncomfortable in a place in my life than I did at the end of that tour,” Burke says. “I started getting a little bit paranoid. It was so wrong. I thought all of these people were my friends. I was like, ‘How dare you?’ It’s still a mystery who did that to me.”
She praises Lachey for having “the best freestyle.”
