Ryan Lochte of the United States attends a press conference on Day 7 of the Rio Olympics on August 12, 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. LOS ANGELES -- The protesters who ambushed Ryan Lochte on ?Dancing with the Stars? are defending their actions after being released from jail. Sam Satoodeh and Barzeen Soroudi were arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor trespassing and each held on $1,000 bail after the pair rushed the stage Monday to protest the Olympic swimmer on the ABC ballroom dancing competition. Soroudi added that he believed Lochte ?embarrassed Americans on the world?s stage, and this was our form of protesting against that.?
