Anna Delvey, the convicted fraudster and subject of Netflix’s ‘Inventing Anna,’ has been eliminated from ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ This comes after a controversial run on the show and receiving permission from ICE to compete.
Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, gained notoriety for conning people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, goods, and services. Her story was chronicled in New York magazine and inspired the Netflix series Inventing Anna. Delvey’s participation on the show was not without controversy. She was released from prison in 2021 after serving four years and was under house arrest while fighting a deportation case. Delvey claimed to have obtained permission from ICE to compete on Dancing With the Stars, but her casting and the permission she received sparked backlash. Despite wearing an ankle monitor during the show, Delvey stated that it didn’t affect her performance as it was “pretty light.” Her goals on the show were to have fun and get a little workout. Her time on Dancing With the Stars has come to an end, leaving skeptics wondering why she was even cast in the first place.
