Most celebrities on "Dancing with the Stars" can attest to the show as a positive experience, one where they received support from both their fellow competitors and America. However, Kate Gosselin can really only stake a claim to half of that. Why? Professional Tony Dovolani -- who had teamed up with the TLC star before being eliminated a week and a half ago -- explained in an interview with TV Guide:
"Dancing was supposed to be a positive experience for her, and it seems like everybody put a bull's-eye on her and started shooting. That demoralizes everybody no matter who you are. How am I supposed to motivate her when she looks at me and goes, 'Every media outlet hates me.' I have to give her props. She's an incredible mom and she's an example for single moms out there. She handles herself to the best of her ability because she's constantly under fire by everybody"
Tony also denied some of the rumors out there that he and Kate actually "hated" each other, and that they merely put up with one another for as long as they had to on the show.

Poor Kate, everyone is out to get her, and the paparazzi just won't leave her alone. Like just the other day, when she was minding her own business just walking around outside in public in her sports bra in 50 degree weather. The d..n paparazzi were taking pitures of her again! ....This media clown won't stop, and her media circus continues.....
