American swimming hero Ryan Lochte said he was “a little hurt” after several men rushed the stage during his appearance on “Dancing with the Stars.”
On Monday night, viewers did not see what happened, only Lochte’s stunned expression before ABC cut to a commercial during the live show. Two men reportedly rushed at Lochte but were taken down by security and detained, according to TMZ.(RELATED: Ryan Lochte Joins ‘Dancing With The Stars’)
Video posted on Twitter shows one of the judges, Carrie Ann Inaba, evaluating Lochte’s performance, then saying “excuse me, excuse me, hey back off.” Viewers at home could not see what she was referring to.
