Wed Sep 25 02:31:18 UTC 2024: ## Anna Delvey Breaks Down After Backlash on “Dancing with the Stars”
Convicted con artist Anna Delvey, known for her lavish lifestyle and fraudulent schemes, has become a contestant on the popular dance competition show “Dancing with the Stars.” While her professional dance partner Ezra Sosa is enjoying the positive reception and support, Delvey has faced significant backlash for her appearance on the show.
Sosa, a first-time pro dancer on DWTS, revealed in a TikTok video that Delvey was left in tears after reading negative comments online. He described finding her crying in the bathroom after the show’s press line, visibly shaken by the public reaction. Despite the emotional toll, Sosa expressed his commitment to providing Delvey with a positive experience on the show. However, he clarified that he cannot defend her past crimes, which include charges of grand larceny, attempted grand larceny, and theft of services.
Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, served over three years in prison for her crimes. She was released on parole in 2021, but her stay was cut short due to visa issues. She is currently under house arrest and wears an ankle monitor while participating in the show.
Despite the controversy surrounding her participation, Delvey remains unfazed, telling Entertainment Tonight that she is “not going to be arrested for dancing.” It remains to be seen how Delvey will navigate the public scrutiny and the show’s intense competition as she embarks on this unexpected journey.
