Anna Delvey

Watch Out, Dancing Queens! Anna Delvey’s Back and Ready to Shuffle!

From scammer to dancer, Anna Delvey struts her stuff on 'Dancing With The Stars'—ankle monitor and all!

Anna Delvey, the notorious con artist who made headlines for impersonating a wealthy German heiress, is back in the spotlight—but this time, she's swapping her prison garb for a sparkly dress on the popular dance show, 'Dancing With The Stars'. Real name Anna Sorokin, this controversial figure has become a household name after the Netflix drama, 'Inventing Anna', premiered in 2022, featuring her dramatic escapades of scamming New York’s elite. Now, she’s ready to cha-cha her way through the latest season, and viewers are more than curious to see how a contestant with a checkered past can dance among the stars.

Delvey is gearing up for her debut on the dance floor despite a few restrictions, notably an ankle monitor that serves as a reminder of her recent legal troubles. She claimed to have received “permission from ICE” to participate in the competition, adding an additional layer of intrigue to her performance. It’s not everyday you see someone twirling in a shimmering dress while simultaneously being under house arrest—Alas, Delvey seems to be taking it in stride, boldly stating it won’t affect her performance. If anything, it’ll probably add a new twist to the typical narrative of reality TV stars.

But while Anna Delvey's presence on reality television generates a whirlwind of headlines, it also raises questions about society's obsession with figures who blur the lines of legality and morality. Critics are already chiming in, labeling her participation as another low point in pop culture, yet many others are tuning in to see if she can redeem herself through dance. Delvey's story serves as an audacious reminder of the lengths some will go for fame and fortune—or in her case, mere entertainment.

As the season kicks off on September 17, tune in to see if Anna can tango her way to victory or if her past will catch up with her on the dance floor. While it remains to be seen how audiences will react to her performance, one thing's for certain—this isn't the first time a reality show has cast someone with a not-so-glamorous backstory. With a fair share of drama and only a sprinkle of redemption, Delvey’s escapades may just capture the hearts of viewers, or leave them wanting more!

Interestingly, Anna Sorokin wasn't the only infamous personality to take a dance break. A reality show featuring notorious figures may seem unusual, but it’s a growing trend in entertainment where celebrities with checkered pasts look for public forgiveness—or at least, a chance to showcase their talents! Meanwhile, ‘Dancing With The Stars’ has a history of inviting participants from various walks of life, including sports figures and even politicians. It seems audiences can’t get enough of the dance floor drama!
