This season of Dancing With the Stars got off to a weird start, with at least one audience member allegedly rushing onstage during the live taping and catching everyone, including dancer Ryan Lochte and his partner Cheryl Burke, by surprise.
ABC News' Jason Nathanson later tweeted a photo of two people wearing anti-Lochte shirts who were "cuffed for rushing the stage" during the swimmer's performance. Lochte made waves outside of the pool during the Rio Olympics when he reported an incident between security guards at a gas station and a group of U.S. swimmers, later acknowledging that he had "over-exaggerated" the encounter.
