posted by Hannity Staff - 6.04.26

In this deeply raw and emotional episode, Sean Hannity sits down with 12-time Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte and his partner, Mollie. Ryan pulls back the curtain on the infamous 2016 Rio Olympics incident that turned him from America’s favorite swimmer into the “most hated man in the world.”

Ryan details the overwhelming media backlash, the sudden loss of millions in sponsorships, and the grueling 9-year spiral into severe depression, alcohol, and drug abuse that followed. He shares the terrifying details of a near-fatal 2023 car crash and how hitting absolute rock bottom finally led him to faith, forgiveness, and a second chance at life.

Mollie joins the conversation to share her perspective on helping Ryan battle his demons and how a newfound relationship with God completely transformed him. This is a powerful story of sports rivalry, public fallouts, and ultimate spiritual redemption.
