Reliving the past. Cheryl Burke is getting candid about the alleged abuse she experienced from an ex-boyfriend as a teenager.“Not to get too graphic, but in high school — I’ll never forget — the person I was with whipped me with a belt,” Burke, 38, said in a teaser clip for her upcoming Red Table Talk interview that was released on Tuesday, November 1.The DWTS pro, whose episode of the YouTube series is set to debut on Wednesday, November 2, recalled that she had “bruises all over my legs” and his family, who was allegedly present for the abuse, failed to do anything to stop it.“I remember his parents were watching it, didn’t do anything,” she claimed.This isn’t the first time the California native has opened up about her experience with being the victim of domestic abuse.
In December 2020, Burke shared a video titled “My Experience With Abusive Relationships” via her YouTube page, looking back at her troubled romantic history.In the clip, the pro dancer, who had previously spoken about being sexually abused as a child, said she was “addicted” to dating toxic men.
