Of course, Lochte is far from the first scandal-plagued celebrity to go on “DWTS” to rehab their image. News is reporting that Amber Rose has signed on to join Season 23 of “Dancing With the Stars”. Considering he’s a good looking straight white dude, despite likely awkward dance moves, probably.
While everyone awaits who makes the final cut, ABC confirmed eight names as returning to the show. He can show U.S. that he is still a good person and still an olympic champion. She thinks that the show will be a great way to wind down after winning four golds and a bronze in the Rio Olympics.
“I’m also excited for the pros”, he added.
ABC will reveal the full cast of the new DWTS season on August 30 on “Good Morning America”.
The full cast for the show’s 23rd season, which begins on September 12, is set to be revealed on Tuesday’s edition of “Good Morning America”.
Lochte won his 12th Olympic medal while competing at Rio 2016 in the 4×200 meter freestyle relay, making him the second most decorated male Olympic swimmer in history.
The swimmer also appeared as an exaggerated version of himself in the 30 Rock episode Stride of Pride, which showcased in October 2012, and he also made a cameo on 90210 later that year. Like Biles, the post-Olympics tour will likely take precedence. Not only do they include Valentin Chmerskovskiy, but Artem Chigvintsev, Gleb Saavchenko, Sasha Farber, Sharna Burgess, Allison Holker, and Lindsay Arnold.
