Former contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” and model Cheryl Burke recently shared insights about her troubled childhood and how it influenced her life.

So, here’s what Cheryl Burke shared about her early years in a recent conversation.

Childhood trauma left Cheryl Burke feeling ‘disgusted’

Celebrity TV host, Cheryl Burke, shared that her past childhood hardships made her feel repulsed whenever encountering kind individuals who showed her warmth. She further explained that she felt unworthy of such kindness because she had become accustomed to mistreatment.

She mentioned that it was due to her sister’s friend’s actions that the caretaker was sentenced. In addition, Burke admitted that she had been self-doubting (or gaslighting herself) during that period. The dancer and model also disclosed that her mother was not permitted to be with her during the trial.

Back in 2022, Cheryl Burke embarked on a personal journey of abstinence after her split from Matthew Lawrence. Last year marked the third anniversary of this journey, which she acknowledged through a heartfelt Instagram post. The caption read, “Celebrating my 40th year, single, and three years into celibacy with self-assuredness and insight.
