Bachelor Sean Lowe Being a DIVA on DWTS?!

Sean Lowe was the center of the universe when he was the star of The Bachelor, but in his new role on Dancing With the Stars, he’s going to have to learn that he’s going to have his fair share of haters.

He got his first taste of the nastiness that’s behind the scenes of ‘DWTS’ when a source close to show told TMZ that Sean was being a major diva. He was asking to be shot at specific camera angles and that worst of all, was saying “this show NEEDS me,” according to TMZ.

Reportedly his competition had already begun picking out nicknames — Princess Sean was a popular choice.

According to HollywoodLife.com,  these claims couldn’t be further from the truth, and that the diva allegations are “definitely someone who is very jealous.”

Our insider goes on: “The comment concerning, ‘This show needs me’ is laughable because that actually has been a running joke with some of the other celeb talent as they have been saying it in jest. It is not his attitude.”

Looks like a case of blown proportions. Despite Sean’s immense fame, he’s remaining down to Earth: “he obviously realizes that he is important to the franchise but he has not taken things to his head,” the source says.

Dancing With the Stars is simply a competitive game, with hungry competitors. Looks like Sean is experiencing that firsthand.
