Cheryl Burke might have just left Dancing with the Stars, but now it looks like she is calling it quits on her follow up job. That's right, the dancing pro who jumped ships from ABC to NBC, has just bailed on her upcoming project. However, we can't say that we blame her, as the new endeavor was co-hosting the Miss USA pageant. After comments made by Donald Trump, Cheryl was just one more person to cut ties with the businessman, as NBC also decided to pull the beauty pageant from their lineup.
Cheryl broke the news to her fans earlier today on her Facebook page, where she explained that she couldn't move forward hosting the show after the comments that Mr. Trump made in regards to Mexican immigrants.
"In light of recent statements made by Donald Trump and the subsequent decision by NBC to cut ties with Mr. Trump, I cannot in good conscience move forward with participating in this year's Miss USA Pageant as its co-host," the star explained on the social media site.

It isn't just Burke that cut ties with Trump, but also NBC who released a statement via Us Weekly, saying the network couldn't get behind the mogul.
"The annual Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump, will no longer air on NBC," the statement read. "In addition, as Mr. Trump has already indicated, he will not be participating in The Apprentice on NBC. Celebrity Apprentice is licensed from Mark Burnett's United Artists Media Group and that relationship with continue."
Trump is reportedly looking to take legal action against the network as he belives that they are violating their contract by letting him go.
