Ryan Lochte<\/strong> was voted off of Celebrity Big Brother earlier in season two, but this week\u2019s episode was a flashback episode and showed the Olympic champion talking about his incident in Rio.<\/p>\n

It was a clip previously not aired during the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went from everyone loved me, and I was on top of the world, and then I was one of the most hated people,\u201d Lochte said on the show.<\/p>\n

Lochte<\/a> is a six-time Olympic gold medalist. During the Rio Olympics in 2016, after the swimming competition was over, Lochte claimed he was held up at gunpoint at a gas station, along with other teammates. It was later confirmed that Lochte and the swimmers had vandalized the gas station bathroom and were stopped by security guards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey blamed us because I fabricated the story,\u201d he said on the show. \u201cI said the gun was pointed at my head but, it was, like, from me to you. But when I told the story, I was still, like, really, like, drunk.\u201d
\nThe original backlash included a 10-month suspension from USA Swimming. He lost four sponsors as well, but he said nothing hurt as much as the hurt he caused his fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a role model for these kids, and when I get messages saying, \u2018You should die\u2019 and \u2018I thought were you my role model, you\u2019re not anymore,\u2019 that is what really got me \u2026 when they started saying, \u2018You\u2019re not my role model\u2019 and \u2018I lost faith in you\u2019 and stuff like that,\u201d he said on the show, tearing up.<\/p>\n

He was voted off the show in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
