Gossip & Rumors
Rep Denies Steamy "Dancing" Affair

Cheryl Burke's rep is denying that her client was involved in an affair with her then "Dancing With the Stars" co-star Drew Lachey. In a statement to TMZ, she claims, "The story that Cheryl is involved with Drew Lachey started 2 years ago when they were partners on Dancing with the Stars, it wasn't true then and it isn't true now."

Rumors of an alleged affair began when married dad Drew Lachey was partnered with Burke during the second season of "DWTS." Star is reporting some salacious details about how the alleged affair was found out by Cheryl's then-boyfriend Matthew Lawrence, kid brother of Joey Lawrence. The two were pretty much caught red-handed - or rather red-mouthed. Whoa!




According to Star, "sources say Matthew found his girlfriend cheating when he went to retrieve something from her dressing room." Lawrence ran out screaming after catching the two engaged in oral sex. Holy fox trot!

Once they were found out, says the mag, Drew threatened the Lawrence brothers to keep them from going public with the affair.

And we thought all the drama went down on the dance floor.

UPDATE: Star mag tells us "We have spent eight weeks investigating the Drew & Cheryl story, and we would never have run it if there was any doubt about its veracity. We had planned to run it last month, but after strong denials from Drew's and Cheryl's reps we went back and revisited all our sources and in the process found new ones who confirmed the story. We are satisfied that Drew and Cherly did indeed have an affair."

32. #19 - Maks has said in interviews that since he was on for so many seasons, he wanted to take a little time off and get back to a less hectic schedule for a while. He may be back next season.

34. If it did happen so what? its over now, and Drew is a happily married husband and father.
Remember that the President of the United States did the same thing, and he managed to get thru it OK.

38. hmmm.. that's interesting.. because from what I can remember... Drew Lachey was on DWTS in season 2... and Joey Lawrence was in season 3... and his brother Matt was usually in the guest audience.. supposively that's how they started dating (thru Joey and Cherly)... the timing seems off...

41. I would hate to think that the affair would have happened. But from what I have seen those contestants get pretty close with the pro dancers. Anything can happen when males and females are put close together.

44. I think people are confused about the timeing...This apparently happened while they were on tour together this past fall/winter. Drew and Cheryl were patners. Matt was with Cheryl while she was on tour and that's when the alledged incident occured. BTW Matt Lawrence is HOT!!!

45.
Totally ridiculous accusations.........Drew was on season 2, Joey was on season 3, and Cheryl only started dating Matthew at the end of that season when the road show started, which means Matthew wouldn't have been going into her dressing room to retrieve something until after season 4 had started.........TWO seasons AFTER Drew was Cheryl's partner.

It really is disgusting how these "publications" seek to malign people for no reason at all.
