Anna Delvey shakes it on the dancefloor while wearing a sparkly ankle monitor! Who says crime doesn’t pay?

In an eyebrow-raising debut that had fans and critics buzzing, infamous faux heiress Anna Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, danced her way onto the latest season of "Dancing With the Stars." Known for her elaborate schemes that conned her way through New York's elite, Delvey strutted her stuff in style—complete with a sparkly ankle monitor, of course! As Delvey stepped onto the dance floor, she made it clear that she’s ready to reinvent herself yet again, this time as a ballroom dancer.

Her performance, accompanied by partner Ezra Sosa, shook the reality TV realm, igniting discussions about whether reality shows should give a platform to controversial figures like Delvey. Despite the polarizing opinions surrounding her casting, Delvey remained unfazed, giggling about her criminal exploits while moving to Sabrina Carpenter's catchy tune 'Espresso.'" With the audience divided between applauding her dancing skills and questioning the ethics of showcasing a convicted fraudster on such a prestigious platform, it was a night filled with mixed emotions.

On Instagram, Anna didn't hold back from addressing her detractors. "I've dealt with criticism before, and this isn’t new to me!" she stated while flashing her trademark grin. As the cameras rolled and fans cheered, one has to wonder—are viewers tuning in for the dancing or the drama? With Delvey’s presence stirring the pot, it seems like this season of DWTS is as much about the tea as it is about the tango.

Interestingly enough, Anna Delvey's ambitions might not just be limited to dancing alone; she’s reportedly working on additional projects to cement her status as a media personality. Delvey, who has famously reinvented herself multiple times, may be one faux heiress who has mastered the art of self-promotion. Who knows where the dance floor will take her next?

In case you’re wondering about ankle monitors, it’s worth noting that they are usually utilized by individuals under house arrest or those on probation to ensure they adhere to restrictions. So while Anna continues to sashay her way across the dance floor, we can't help but chuckle at the thought—can a crime-spree queen steal the spotlight? Only time will tell!

And for those less familiar, Anna Sorokin found herself in hot water after obtaining $275,000 in loans while masquerading as a German socialite. Her life of luxury in New York's high society was short-lived, as her 2019 conviction led to a hefty prison sentence. Nonetheless, her runaway tale and newfound fame on the dance floor make her a figure we can't ignore—especially with those dainty dance moves!
