Ashley Dupré Issues public apology for body shaming Cheryl Burke

Alix Earle's stepmom, Ashley Dupré is apologising after her "stepmotherly instincts" got the better of her.

"I just wanted to jump on here and apologize for making comments that were insensitive in the heat of the competition," Dupré said after explaining that she was on her way to a Halloween party.

While Earle and her partner, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, received tens from judges Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, Cheryl Burke who was serving as a guest judge for the night gave them a 9/10 at Dancing with the Stars show.

"Oh, go take more Ozempic," said Dupré after Burke held up her scoring paddle. 

"I always try to pick others up," Dupré said in the video, adding, "If you follow me, you know that about me, I hope, and that's how we raise our children. I'm sorry that my actions did not reflect that."

Her apology video comes one day after Burke hit back at Dupré on Instagram.

“I know that I did the best that I could with the information that I had — and with what I saw in real time — and for the people who think body shaming is okay, especially in front of your children, that sends a powerful message about what you value, and clearly it's not kindness," Burke said.

Ashley Dupré added near the end of the clip, “If that’s the example you choose to set, then please, I beg of you, leave my name out of it.”
