Anna Delvey's DWTS Debut Is Being Met With Backlash From Celebrities

Dancing With the Stars Season 33 will air on September 17 on ABC, and like a few previous seasons, it has been met with much controversy. The show announced its brand-new lineup of celebrity contestants, and it consists of a variety of entertainers from Hollywood and the sports world. However, one contestant is getting attention for all the wrong reasons.
When viewers and fans alike learned that con artist and fraudster Anna Delvey (also known as Anna Sorokin) would be participating in the new season, it was met with mixed reactions. In 2019, Anna was convicted of 8 felony counts, including grand larceny and theft, after she faked being a wealthy German heiress. After her 2022 release from prison, Anna was taken into Ice custody because she overstayed her visa. However, as she fights her deportation rights, Anna must wear an ankle monitor, which stunned DWTS fans when the network released her cast photo.
