Dancing with the (Ankle Monitored) Stars: Anna Delvey’s Turning the Competition Upside Down!

Watch Anna Delvey waltz her way to fame (with a blingy surprise) on DWTS Season 33!

Anna Delvey, the infamous fake heiress known for her lavish exploits and grand deceptions, returned to the limelight with her sensational debut on Dancing with the Stars Season 33. Fans were treated to an unforgettable performance, but it was hard not to notice her sparkling accessory – a blinged-out ankle monitor. It seems that while she may have danced her way into the hearts of many, she hasn’t quite shed her past, proving that even on the dance floor, true crime can still shine through. The juxtaposition between her glamorous pirouettes and her less-than-glamorous ankle accessory created a uniquely entertaining spectacle.

Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, first captured public attention when she was convicted in 2019 of swindling $275,000 from hotels, banks, and individuals to fund her extravagant lifestyle in New York City. Now, she’s making headlines again not just for her past but for her audacious re-entry into society through a dance competition. During her debut, she expressed, with a laugh, how her past gave her a unique flair on the dance floor. It’s not every day that a convicted con artist struts her stuff in sequins and smiles while reminding everyone of her criminal record!

Viewers were divided on whether they should cheer for her second act or boo her as she winks at her shady past. Many couldn’t help but wonder about her motivations while watching her twirl around in her flashy outfits. Despite the controversy, the judges – including Carrie Ann Inaba – were quick to urge the audience to give Delvey a fair chance. After all, we all love a good redemption arc, even if it comes adorned with an ankle monitor!

In a nod to her rebellious spirit, Delvey even shared some behind-the-scenes insights about her experience preparing for the show. She revealed that her ankle monitor was a bit of a conversation starter, which she embraced with open arms, making it a huge part of her stage persona. Who knew foot accessories could spark such a buzz?

Did you know Anna Sorokin was originally born in Russia and moved to Germany? She later made her way to the United States, where she spun a web of deceit that tangled the elite. Her case inspired the Netflix series "Inventing Anna," showcasing how her tale captivated a nation and turned her life into an unlikely reality show! Now, in a surprising twist, she's stepping back into the spotlight with dancing shoes and a diamond-encrusted reminder of her past. Stay tuned; this dance isn’t over yet!
