“I’ve always known that there’s like haters out there, obviously, but I never got to really witness it in person and that was really shocking for me”, Lochte said backstage on Monday night.
Lochte spoke with People about how he’s been feeling post-DWTS, and he mentioned how grateful he’s been for the support he’s received from Kayla and his mother. “And I didn’t. I’m not going to – not yet”, he said.
After two attempts to win fans’ votes, time has run out for one celebrity and their professional partner on this season of Dancing with the Stars. “It’s just, how far can I put it back in my head and move on?” “They all have shown me so much support throughout this whole week that really kept me positive”, he admitted.
“Especially my girlfriend, because I’m living with her now”, he said.
The embattled Olympian looked joyful as he danced a quickstep to the Muppets theme song during the live show.
Despite a marked improvement on last week’s technical issues, the judges remained unmoved.
