Alix Earle’s stepmom ignites feud with Cheryl Burke after harsh DWTS score — “Take more Ozempic,” she snaps.NN
Alix Earle’s stepmom, Ashley Dupré, had a low blow for former “Dancing With the Stars” pro Cheryl Burke.
Dupré posted her live reaction to the the influencer’s “Halloween Night” tango routine on TikTok Tuesday and praised the “f—ing amazing” dance.
While the three judges — Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough — each gave Earle and pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy a perfect score of ten, guest judge, Burke, gave the dancing duo a nine.
“Oh, go take more Ozempic,” an angry Dupré, 40, said in the video after Burke, 41, revealed her score.
When one of her young children questioned the cruel comment, she doubled down, saying, “She looks weird. She doesn’t even look like that.”
Some followers in her comment section were not too pleased with the former escort’s dig at the two-time Mirrorball winner.
“That ozempic comment was so unnecessary,” one critic said.
“Everyone being an active bully and thinking its okay because Alix didn’t get a 10??? What is wrong with yall,” another added.
Many of her followers found her comment funny, writing, “THE OZEMPIC COMMENT 😂 I was literally thinking the same thing 😂 😂” and “I’m peeing at the ozempic comment.”
Burke broke her silence on her dramatic transformation back in March when many concerned fans thought she was sick and others hurled “shocking and hurtful” digs her way.
“I’m not on Ozempic. I’m not sick,” she clarified in a candid TikTok video. “I didn’t get a face transplant, and no, I didn’t get a brow lift.
“The level of projection that is happening and that I’m witnessing is wild,” Burke continued, blasting haters for gossiping about her as if she isn’t “a person” — and for comparing her current looks to her younger self.
“I hate to break it to you, but that Cheryl doesn’t exist anymore,” the choreographer declared. “The assumptions are just exhausting as hell.”
“My face has changed because I’ve changed. I’ve experienced so much trauma, divorce, and this is by no means a pity party,” she said referencing her split from Matthew Lawrence. “Sobriety, burnout, reinvention, I’ve healed, I’ve lost, I’ve grieved like anybody else.”

In August, the Emmy nominee revealed that she lost 41 pounds by using a “delicious” portion control food delivery service called Z.E.N. to keep her on track, noting that she’s “very lenient” when it comes to diet.
She also shared that she used to be an “emotional eater” who ate late and hit up fast food drive-thrus while at her heaviest weight, 150 pounds.
“The last time I checked, I was 109,” she told Us Weekly at the time. “I feel f—ing great; my energy is on another level. That 109 doesn’t matter, what matters is how I feel.”
The “DWTS” alum — who retired as a pro in November 2022 — weighed in on judges receiving backlash due to their scoring while chatting with Page Six ahead Tuesday’s show.
“I think for the newer fans, what they should try and realize, I can’t force it down their throats obviously, but you can’t compare the couples, because they’re not doing the same dance style,” she explained.
She specifically defended Inaba who has been blasted by fans online for giving tougher feedback.
“All of the judges have said something that maybe the audience may not have liked. But the reaction of it has been a lot different, for sure, when Carrie Ann says something.”
“But look, ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t.’ You’re never going to please everybody.”
