When Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were voted off Dancing With the Stars on November 15, the 30-year-old soccer player was so distraught she refused to speak to reporters backstage.

The athlete broke her silence during a Tuesday appearance on Anderson, where Solo told host Anderson Cooper she felt "very naive" during her time on the ABC show.

"It is very much reality television. From day one, they casted our characters," she said.

Though she frequently sparred with Chmerkovskiy, 31, Solo insisted "Maks and I were great friends and we had an endearing relationship."
