Prior to the season 25 premiere of Dancing with the Stars, Sasha disclosed the reason she was rapidly gaining weight. The actress revealed she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Sasha only decided to publicly reveal this when fans started getting angry at her gaining weight, calling her names, and inevitably began to speculate she’s pregnant. Pieterse finally had enough and spilled out everything.

In 2017, Pieterse got emotional during an episode of Dancing with the Stars, where she opened up about her health issues.

I gained 70-ish pounds over two years. It was really, really hurtful the way people reacted. They were saying stuff like, ‘She’s pregnant.’ ‘You’re fat.’ They were angry, they were mad that I look like this. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through.

The actress revealed she initially had no idea why it was happening to her and how to deal with the issue. It got easier for her when she became aware it was a hormone imbalance that was doing this.
