Alix Earle\u2019s<\/strong> stepmom Ashley Dupr\u00e9<\/strong> has backpedalled after making body-shaming remarks about Dancing With the Stars<\/em><\/a> guest judge Cheryl Burke<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sharing a video via her TikTok account<\/a> on Friday, October 31, Dupr\u00e9 apologized for publicly telling Burke to \u201cgo take more Ozempic<\/a>\u201d after the dancer gave Earle a low score on DWTS.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted to jump on here and apologize for making comments that were insensitive in the heat of the competition,\u201d Dupr\u00e9, 40, said via the TikTok clip.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy step-motherly instincts got the better of me. Never ever do I want to make another person feel bad. In fact, I try to do the opposite and I always try to pick others up. If you follow me, you know that about me, I hope. And that\u2019s how we raised our children.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOzempic has become a hot topic when it comes to weight loss \u2014 with some stars confirming they have used the drug while others denied it. Chelsea Handler admitted during a January 2023 episode of the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast that she unknowingly took the Type 2 diabetes medication, which is traditionally used to improve [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She added, \u201cI\u2019m sorry that my actions did not reflect that. I hope everyone has a great Halloween.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burke, 41, appeared to reference Dupr\u00e9\u2019s controversial Ozempic remarks on Thursday, October 30, when she slammed critics<\/a> who body-shamed her when giving their take on her scoring.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy comments didn\u2019t just come out of nowhere. It came from personal experience. It came from being on this show for 26 seasons, and it also came from all the years of being trained, being coached myself and I have seen so many mixed reviews, which is totally fine, but what\u2019s not okay is I\u2019ve also seen so many aggressive ones and a lot of body shaming ones,\u201d Burke said in a video posted via her Instagram account.<\/p>\n

Burke added that while she could accept positive or negative criticism if it was constructive, feedback that slammed her looks was out of line.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Burke continued, \u201cAnd clearly it\u2019s not kindness, I was simply again, doing my job as a judge, giving feedback based on almost 20 years of my life, and if my score was different from the other judges, it was by one point. I have dedicated my whole life towards being a competitor of ballroom dancing.\u201d<\/p>\n
