While things seemingly appeared fine between the two during their DWTS stint, it’s now clear Cheryl did NOT have a good time shimmying around with Ian.
This past Saturday, Ms. Burke made a very insensitive remark about Ziering on the Allegedly podcast. In the heat of the moment, the dancer confessed working with I.Z. “made [her] want to slit [her] wrists”.
Yikes. That’s a loaded and very unfortunate statement to make.
Following a wave of backlash, the beauty took to Twitter to deliver an apology to those who struggle with depression and thoughts of suicide. Check out the full message (below):

“I’ve always lived by the rule that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Recently and regrettably, I broke that rule. In the heat of an interview conversation, I used a phrase that seemingly makes light of suicide and I deeply regret it. I have many friends and family members that struggle with depression and thoughts of suicide. To have said something that seemingly makes a mockery of what they’ve gone through and what they live with is something that I apologize for. I never meant to hurt anyone or to trivialize the topic. I was out of line and for that I apologize.”

Well, at least Cheryl gave an honest and very remorseful i’m sorry.
But wait… we don’t see Ian’s name in that post. In fact, we haven’t seen the 31-year-old mention Ziering anywhere since her controversial words! Inneresting…
So, what do YOU think of Cheryl’s apology?
