As someone who closely followed the captivating saga of Anna Delvey, I must say that her participation in Dancing With The Stars has been nothing short of intriguing. Despite her controversial past and questionable moral compass, it’s hard not to be drawn into the spectacle she creates.
[This story contains spoilers from Dancing With the Stars.]
Anna Delvey‘s time on Dancing With the Stars has come to an end.
The person known as Anna Sorokin, who was found guilty of fraud and impersonating a German heiress, allegedly tricked numerous individuals into providing her with large sums of money, items, and services, according to reports in Jessica Pressler’s article for New York magazine. These events served as the basis for the Netflix series titled Inventing Anna, where Julia Garner portrayed Sorokin (under the character name Delvey), and Shonda Rhimes took on the role of showrunner.
In the second episode of this season’s “Dancing With the Stars,” broadcasted on Tuesday night, both Delvey and Tori Spelling, alongside her professional partner Pasha Pashkov, were eliminated due to combined judge scores and viewer votes, resulting in a double elimination.
When Julianne Hough of DWTS inquired about what she’d keep from the show, Delvey chuckled and responded, “Absolutely nothing.
Delvey and her companion Ezra Sosa performed their last dance during the Oscar-themed show, dancing swiftly to KT Tunstall’s “Suddenly I See.” In this performance, Sosa playfully mocked Delvey’s aloof personality.
Delvey was freed from prison in 2021 following a four-year sentence, during which time she was under house arrest as she battled a deportation case. However, the self-proclaimed socialite claimed to have gained approval from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Delvey admitted that she was persuaded into participating in DWTS. She obtained approval from ICE, and later found herself in a situation where it was difficult to withdraw her participation,” Delvey explained to The Hollywood Reporter, following the announcement of this season’s cast earlier this month.
While wearing an ankle monitor during competition, Delvey expressed to THR that she didn’t anticipate it hampering her performance because she finds it relatively unobtrusive. Regarding her aspirations for the show, she mentioned wanting to enjoy herself and possibly sneak in some exercise.
However, Delvey’s participation, along with the ICE approval she was granted, was quickly faced with criticism and opposition.
The day following Delvey being revealed as a contestant on DWTS, the co-hosts of ABC’s The View voiced their disapproval towards the competition, which is also broadcasted by ABC, for featuring Delvey in this season.
Whoopi Goldberg commented, reflecting on the numerous families who’ve had loved ones detained by ICE, stating that they sought justice in courts to reunite with their father, brother, or mother. She then questioned if there might be a reason behind this, or perhaps a two-tiered system at play with ICE.
Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin emphasized that Delvey should face consequences, with Griffin explaining that Delvey “still has financial obligations to fulfill.
Delvey quickly shot back on social media that the hosts needed to get their “facts straight.”
Although you’re welcome to hold your own views, it’s important to ensure the facts are correct. I settled everything I owed more than 3 years ago. I eagerly await your on-air rectification,” Delvey wrote on The View‘s X (formerly Twitter) page.
Later Delvey’s lawyer issued a statement to The View, which Griffin read on air last week.
“We recently discussed Anna Delvey, the convicted fraudster, noting she will be on Dancing With the Stars and questioning the fairness of her being on the show as it is an opportunity that most other convicted criminals and immigrants seeking asylum simply do not have,” Griffin said. “After that discussion, we heard from Ms. Delvey’s lawyer, who strongly objected to our saying that, quote, ‘She still owes people money.’ He argued that statement falsely suggests she still owes restitution to her fraud victims. And he provided a document from the Office of Victim Services that he says proves, quote, ‘All of Miss Delvey’s restitution has been repaid in full and all the victims have been fully compensated,’ end quote.”
