Anna Delvey and Ezra Sosa on ‘Dancing With the Stars’.
Anna Delvey has been cut from this season of “Dancing with the Stars” and she had a pretty blunt response to being eliminated.
Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, was one of the first celebrities to be cut from the competition show’s 33rd season.
She and her partner, pro Ezra Sosa, were eliminated in the Sept. 24 episode. Delvey and Sosa earned a score of 17/30 dancing to “Suddenly I See” by KT Tunstall on Tuesday evening. Though their score wasn’t the lowest — the show also takes fan votes into account — the two were still cut. Tori Spelling and her pro, Pasha Pashkov, were also sent home.
When asked what she would take from her experience on the show, Delvey deadpanned a one word response: “Nothing.”
The blunt response seemed to surprise Sosa, who raised his eyebrows and laughed.
The shows hosts, Julianna Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro, also laughed off her comment as the show credits rolled.
“You had fun, stop it, stop it,” Ribeiro replied.
Going into her second episode, Delvey had been seemingly upset by the lukewarm reception she got online from show fans last week.
“After dancing I was really happy but when I went online, I was reading all these comments and I just felt really upset,” she said in a pre-recorded segment. “I’m used to people who feel negatively about me. I get upset for a short moment of time but then I just move on.”
Delvey made headlines in 2018 after she was arrested for posing as a German heiress and swindling banks, hotels and regular people out of more than $200,000. She served two years in prison for her financial crimes and was released on parole in February 2021.
Her name really entered the American lexicon following a Netflix show based on her story that was released in 2022, “Inventing Anna.”
