00:00 There's a lot of things to protest about in this world. A dummy on a reality show?

00:03 Not in my top 100. Two protesters interrupted the live-season premiere of

00:07 Dancing with the Stars last night wearing shirts with "Lock D" crossed out.

00:11 Judge Kariana Nava was busy critiquing Lock D's dance with Cheryl Burke when a

00:15 commotion erupted. Here's what viewers saw live.

00:19 The protesters apparently entered dressed as normal audience members until

00:29 they ripped off their shirts to reveal their Lock D protest shirts.

00:35 Conspiracy controversy theories. Security promptly tackled them to the ground and

00:42 removed them from the studio. The protesters were identified as 59-year-old

00:45 Sam Satuday and 25-year-old Barzeen Sarudi. They were taken into custody and

00:50 held on $1,000 bail each. During the commercial break, more protesters who

00:54 didn't run onto the stage were removed from the audience. Aren't there more

00:58 important things to protest? I protest this douchebag. Host Tom Bergeron

01:03 appeared on Good Morning America to give his perspective on the incident.

01:07 "They were just, you know, part of our typical audience and they went through a

01:11 screening process like anybody else." So why protest Ryan Lock D on Dancing with

01:16 the Stars? The only reason we can think of is the highly publicized incident

01:19 during the Rio Olympics where he lied to police about being robbed at gunpoints.

01:23 Let's look at these comments. This comment comes from our favorites at

01:26 midnight. So when Lock D was asked about his Dancing with the Stars protesters,

01:29 he replied, "There were no protesters. In fact, I'm not even on that show."

01:33 Janesk2 says, "Somehow I feel like this was a setup to make people feel sorry for

01:37 that douche tool. Ryan Lock D not gonna work." That's a new word to add to my

01:41 dictionary. Douche tool. For more trends like these, just go to whatstrending.com.
