The choice to launch Delvey DWTS has seen a fair amount of backlash, with Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, the subject of countless headlines about her past legal troubles. Delvey posed as a German heiress in an effort to allegedly commit fraud against a series of companies and wealthy individuals. She was convicted of theft and eventually overstayed her U.S. visa while serving time in prison.
She needed to get permission from ICE to compete on the series and wore an ankle bracelet – which was notably dazzled during her first week’s dance to Sabrina Carpenter “Express.”
Delvey also opened up a bit about her reserved behavior on the show, arguing that she “wanted to be defensive, especially after all the backlash I got being cast on the show.”
She credited the producers for trying to defend her and her involvement in the show. This even carried over to the first live broadcast, with Carrie Ann Inaba acknowledging the cool response to Delvey’s dancing in the ballroom and asking the public and audience to give her a chance.
“I think everyone in the cast was generally very good to me,” Delvey noted. “But in the long term, I don’t know.”

In the end, she said the show felt like a “waste of time,” adding that she found the whole experience “a little disturbing.”

“I feel like the program so clearly used me to climb the ranks, that they never had plans to give me any chance to grow and only cared about exploiting me for consideration,” Delvey said. “It was predatory of them to try to make me feel insufficient and foolish while I got better and better, but they chose to ignore that.”
“It felt like I never had a good chance with the audience or the judges because of the absurd scoring,” Delvey added. “It is speculated that it is a dance competition and not a reputation contest.”
As for the future, Delvey is still trying to look ahead. Even when DWTS it didn’t give her the fresh start she was looking for.
