Anna Delvey, the convicted fraudster and inspiration for the Netflix series 'Inventing Anna', is set to join the cast of 'Dancing With The Stars' while still under house arrest and wearing an ankle monitor due to immigration issues stemming from her criminal past. This casting decision has sparked significant controversy, with critics arguing that it glamorizes her previous crimes and exemplifies a biased immigration system that favors wealthier individuals. Showrunner Conrad Green defended her inclusion, citing public fascination with her story and asserting that she has served her time. Delvey has expressed a desire to maintain her mystery during the show, although she is expected to draw significant attention on the dance floor. Public reactions remain divided, with some viewing her as a representation of a warped American Dream, while others, including Whoopi Goldberg, criticize the perceived preferential treatment she receives. The season premieres on September 17, 2024, and will feature a mix of celebrities from diverse backgrounds.
