Light up:Anna Delvey’s Terse One-Word Reply to What She’s Taking from DWTS Shocks Her Partner Ezra Sosa

Anna Delvey isn’t one for sentimental goodbyes.

On Tuesday night, the convicted con artist, 33, was eliminated from the Sept. 24 episode of Dancing with the Stars. Asked by host Julianne Hough what she was taking from her experience on the show, she replied bluntly, “Nothing.”

Her pro partner, Ezra Sosa, appeared shocked by her reply, raising his eyebrows in surprise. For her part, Hough laughed it off before wrapping the episode. As the rest of the cast issued their goodbyes, pro Alan Bersten and contestant Dwight Howard could be seen approaching Delvey and Sosa, 23, and giving them hugs.

Backstage immediately after, Delvey was spotted walking around grinning from ear to ear.

Delvey’s short-lived time on the show was wrapped in controversy from the start. She previously rose to notoriety for posing as a wealthy German heiress and used her social standing to defraud wealthy people, banks and hotels. She was arrested in 2017 and convicted of grand larceny in the first, second and third degree as well as theft of services in 2019. When she was cast, many fans questioned whether she should have a spot on the show.

But Delvey leaned into her past, sporting a bedazzled ankle monitor. When she was cast, she revealed that she received special permission from ICE to compete under the condition she would wear the device. (After serving time in state prison and paying restitution, she was released in February 2021. Shortly after her release, she was taken into custody by ICE for violating the terms of her visa. Since then, she has been living under house arrest in New York City while fighting her deportation case.)
