Hold onto your sequins! Anna Delvey is hitting the dance floor, ankle monitor and all, on Dancing With the Stars! 🩰💃 #DancingWithTheStars #AnnaDelvey

In a dazzling twist that’s sure to have the audience on the edge of their seats, con artist extraordinaire Anna Sorokin, famously known as Anna Delvey, is set to revamp her theatrical exploits as a contestant on the new season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars". The self-proclaimed fake heiress, who once charmed New York's elite and left a trail of dubious situations in her wake, is apparently bringing her unique flair back into the limelight. Yes, you heard it right—she has traded in her designer gowns for dancing shoes and a questionable reputation, all while sporting an ankle monitor!

But in a surprising twist of events, not only did Delvey secure a spot on the show, but she also claims to have gotten “permission from ICE” to participate. The irony here? Dance like nobody's watching—unless you're serving a suspended sentence for grand larceny that includes house arrest! It seems that Anna is willing to take her performance seriously, despite some potential restrictions. “In what way would it affect my performance?” she said, raising an eyebrow at the idea of being hindered by an ankle monitor. Talk about commitment to the craft!

As Delvey steps onto the ballroom floor, she will have fierce competition, including celebrities like Tori Spelling and athletes who have graced the Olympics. With her ability to pull off elaborate schemes, it remains to be seen if Anna can wiggle and twirl her way to the top of the leaderboard or if she’ll end up in the bottom two, dancing the night away to her own tune. With her history, spectators can expect a performance that’s as unpredictable as her past!

In addition to the dance competition, Delvey has been eyeing the glamorous circles of New York Fashion Week, revealing that she has plans to strut her stuff on the runway while simultaneously chatting it up with designers. It’s a wild ride for the faux heiress who turned her life into one long episode of reality TV. Did you know that Anna's persona inspired the hit Netflix series "Inventing Anna" in 2022, earning her international fame, even as she serves time? Seems a little controversy always keeps things interesting!

In the ever-evolving landscape of celebrity culture, Delvey’s participation in 'Dancing with the Stars' raises questions about accountability and redemption. What does it mean for the future of reality TV when someone with such a tumultuous history becomes a household name again? Regardless, the world will be eagerly watching as Anna Delvey proves—yet again—that nothing is ever as it seems behind the glimmer and sparkle of the dance floor!
