"Kate was so educational, actually, and in some ways, she kind of taught me that you always have to protect yourself," Dovolani told RadarOnline.com exclusively. "Part of the reason why actually she might have had a little trouble showing her emotions on Dancing With the Stars is because she always had to protect herself."
Dovolani described the constant paparazzi presence wherever Kate happens to be. "You have to watch yourself getting in the car, getting out of the car," he said. "They even documented me getting her coffee, and I didn't think that was anything."
Dovolani said he’s kept up with Kate since she was voted off, and mentioned that while she’s not depressed, she’s sad to be off the show.
Dancing With the Stars airs at 8/7c Mondays and Tuesdays on ABC.
