Joey Graziadei Defends Anna Delvey on DWTS

Anna Delvey, a convicted felon, faced significant backlash for her participation in Season 33 of 'Dancing With The Stars,' where she performed while wearing a court-mandated ankle monitor due to immigration charges. Despite her controversial background, co-star Joey Graziadei defended Delvey, emphasizing that he was focused on his performance rather than the surrounding drama. He described Delvey as 'great' and expressed gratitude for all participants, highlighting the professional dancers' roles in preparing contestants.
