Anna Delvey Eliminated in Second Week of DWTS

Anna Delvey, the convicted con artist known as the 'Fake Heiress,' was eliminated in the second week of Dancing With The Stars (DWTS), sparking controversy and backlash. Delvey, who performed with dancer Ezra Sosa, claimed the show exploited her for ratings without giving her a fair chance to improve. She suggested format changes like partner swaps and celebrity pair-ups to make the show more interesting. Delvey expressed frustration about being eliminated early despite her progress, attributing her departure to her criminal past and inability to connect with the show's older audience. Both Delvey and Tori Spelling, who was also eliminated, joked about their double elimination on Spelling's podcast. Delvey's casting had already drawn criticism due to her criminal history and ongoing immigration issues, including wearing an ICE-enforced ankle monitor during her performances.
