Anna Delvey Reveals Why She’ll Take “Nothing” Away From Her Experience on Dancing With the Stars
View Date:2024-12-23 14:47:31
Anna Delvey isn't dancing around her feelings about Dancing With the Stars.
Days after the fake heiress said she took away "nothing" from her time ankon the ABC competition after she and Tori Spelling were eliminated, she shared insight into her reasoning.
"You guys told me what I'm supposed to do," Anna said of the producers to the 90210 alum on her MisSPELLING podcast Sept. 28. "I tried to do it, and then I still was rejected. I'm taking away nothing. This is what I'm taking away from it because your advice was worthless."
"The advice that you gave me did not pay off for me, even though I tried to follow it right," she continued. "This is how I felt."
The 33-year-old—who was convicted of grand larceny and theft of services in 2019 for defrauding wealthy individuals and businesses—emphasized that her reasoning was pretty straightforward.
"I know people were trying to interpret my answer in different ways, but no," she explained. "I really did not take away much from this experience."
And Anna—who donned a bedazzled ankle monitor on the show since she was on house arrest in Manhattan after being released from ICE custody in 2022—noted how frustrated she was after being sent home so early in the competition alongside her partner Ezra Sosa.
"It felt like they put so much effort trying to get me on a show, make me feel comfortable, just to eliminate me this early," she admitted. "It just felt a bit upsetting to me. It felt like a waste of time for me to do all of this for them to just discard me so easily."
Speculating about her elimination with Tori, Anna noted that her reputation may have played a role.
“I had to be on the defensive,” she said of her time on the show, “especially after all the backlash that I received being cast.”
Meanwhile, DWTS judge Carrie Anna Inaba previously shared she was surprised by the fraudster’s blunt answer.
"I was taken aback by her comment when asked what she learned from being on the show, and she flatly said, 'Nothing,'" Carri told Entertainment Weekly following the Sept. 24 episode. "That was dismissive not only of the opportunity she was given, of her wonderful and supportive partner Ezra in his debut season but also of all of us who work on the show—from the dancers to behind the scenes to the creative team."
"We all put in the effort to give her a fair opportunity," she continued. "But I don't think she could see that and it's a shame. A little gratitude could have changed the narrative."
