Ryan Lochte’s first dance on “Dancing With the Stars” was apparently interrupted by two men running on stage wearing anti-Lochte T-shirts.
Lochte is partnered with Cheryl Burke for season 23 of the show, which premiered on Monday. As one of the judges was talking, there was an indication that some people who weren’t supposed to be there had gotten on stage.
The supposed protesters were said to have been handcuffed:

Lochte is appearing on TV for the first time since he was suspended 10 months by the USOC and USA Swimming for his controversial incident in Rio.
