DWTS S33 Casts Anna Delvey Amid Controversy

Anna Delvey, the convicted con artist whose real name is Anna Sorokin, will compete on season 33 of 'Dancing with the Stars' while wearing an ankle monitor. This decision, approved by ICE to allow her to travel outside New York, has sparked significant social media reactions and controversy. Delvey, who gained fame through the Netflix series 'Inventing Anna,' joins a diverse cast, including Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik and actor Eric Roberts. Critics argue her participation glamorizes her criminal past, while others celebrate her presence as a pop culture moment. Despite being under house arrest, Delvey plans to bedazzle her ankle monitor for the show. The new season premieres on September 17 on ABC.
