September 4th 2024.
The highly anticipated 33rd season of Dancing With the Stars is just around the corner, and the star-studded line-up has finally been revealed. Among the list of celebrities set to compete for the coveted mirrorball trophy is none other than ex-convict Anna Delvey.
TV executives unveiled the cast on Good Morning America, much to the excitement of fans who have been eagerly awaiting the announcement. Some big names are set to grace the dancefloor, including Tori Spelling, Die Hard star Reginal VelJohnson, and Bachelorette alum Jenn Tran. Julia Roberts' brother, Eric Roberts, will also be joining the star-studded competition.
However, the most surprising addition to the cast is Delvey, who made headlines in 2019 for her elaborate scams that swindled people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Her story was recently dramatized in the popular Netflix series Inventing Anna, starring Julia Garner and Laverne Cox.
After serving her time in prison, the "Fake Heiress" is now ready to step into the limelight and compete on one of America's biggest TV shows. Reports have revealed that she is able to access social media and travel from her home in New York to Los Angeles, where the show is filmed. Delvey has been paired with professional dancer Eric Sosa, and the duo is gearing up for the premiere on September 17.
Delvey's appearance on the show has caused quite a stir among fans, with some questioning why a convicted felon is being given a platform. Others, however, have shown their support for the decision, stating that she has paid her dues and deserves a chance to redeem herself.
This is not the first time a former inmate has graced the Dancing With the Stars stage. Rapper Lil Kim competed in 2009 after serving time in prison, and comedian Tommy Chong also joined the show in 2014 after a stint in a California facility.
Born in the Soviet Union in 1991, Delvey (born Anna Sorokin) moved to Germany at the age of 16 before eventually settling in New York in 2013. She made a name for herself in the city's art and fashion circles, using fake documents and fraudulent checks to swindle loans and cash from her connections.
Despite being released from prison after two years, Delvey has remained under strict house arrest. However, it seems that her conditions have been relaxed, allowing her to participate in the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars.
The new season of Dancing With the Stars is set to premiere in just two weeks, and fans can't wait to see Delvey and the rest of the star-studded cast hit the dancefloor. The show will be co-hosted by Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro, with judges Bruno Tonioli, Derek Hough, and Carrie Ann Inaba returning to the panel.
As always, the show's line-up has caused a buzz among fans, with some expressing their excitement and others questioning the decision to include Delvey. But one thing is for sure, the 33rd season of Dancing With the Stars is going to be one to remember. Don't miss the premiere on September 17!
