Earlier in the week, USA women’s soccer goalie Hope Solo dropped by Anderson Cooper’s new daytime show, “Anderson” to talk about her ousting from ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

During the interview, Solo stated that she was not pleased with the way producers portrayed her on the show along with the fact that she felt the judges were too critical of her intensity and her muscular figure:

“I was very naive going into it,” she explained. “It is very much reality television I think from day one they casted our characters. And we would be rehearsing for seven hours a day. Maks and I were great friends and we had an endearing relationship. The 45 minutes in the whole seven hours that were the most frustrating where I am curing and kicking walls is what America got to see.”

“I was told I had too much muscle and I was too intense and wasn’t dainty,” Solo said.

Below is the video of the full interview:

    Mr. Anderson. He so laid back with the open collar and sweater. Can you feel his vibe? Hope Solo is a very attractive, accomplished woman, who I am sure no man would certainly turn down…for a relationship of course. Get your minds out the gutter man.

    Anderson Cooper would be more interested in Han Solo.

    He’s not wrong, she’s pretty manish. Having said that, I’m sure there’s a lot of men who want to be her sub.
