'DWTS’ star Cheryl Burke says Maks Chmerkovskiy apologized for fat-shaming; body can be 'hard to accept'

Cheryl Burke said in a new interview that she isn't sure she got "closure" after fellow "Dancing with the Stars" pro Maks Chmerkovskiy apologized for fat-shaming her.

"[Maks] apologized years ago when this whole thing happened. He apologized to me and my mother, actually, which was nice of him," Burke told the New York Post. "But look, is there closure? I don’t know if there’s closure. I mean, it’s not just because of him saying anything. It goes back to my dancing and competition career."

"This has always been an issue because I am a curvy girl, and that’s just the way it is," she said. "And I can’t change where my bones are or my hips. And it’s just – it is what it is. And either I accept it or I don’t. And obviously, when all your whole life it’s been centered around basically that, it’s hard to accept it."
