In a plot twist worthy of a reality TV show… oh wait, it was reality TV, our favorite artfully dodgy diva, Anna Delvey, waltzed (or tripped?) her way out the door on “Dancing with the Stars.” Yes, you heard that right—Anna Delvey, the infamous scam queen, is now also the queen of getting booted off reality competitions. It’s like her crime career, but with glitter and jazz hands.
The 33-year-old former con artist, who famously bamboozled New York’s elite, was paired with newbie pro dancer Ezra Sosa for the show’s 33rd season. Spoiler alert: they didn’t exactly cha-cha their way into the hearts of the judges. After racking up a grand total of 35 points out of 60 for their two dances (which, let’s be honest, is kind of like getting a C-minus in gym class), they were swiftly shown the exit. First eliminated. Oof. Looks like Anna’s not the only one doing the ghosting this time around.
But wait, it gets better! As if being the first to leave wasn’t dramatic enough, co-host Julianne Hough, with the enthusiasm of a kindergarten teacher on field trip day, asked Anna what she’d be taking away from this magical, dance-filled journey. Anna, true to her straight-faced, no-nonsense swindler vibe, deadpanned with a one-word zinger: “Nothing.” That’s right. NOTHING. Absolutely zero. No sequins, no sparkles, not even a slight appreciation for the cha-cha. Just… nothing. Mic drop.
Meanwhile, poor Ezra, who seemed to be giving off major “I’m just happy to be here” vibes, revealed the drama behind the scenes. Turns out, after their first (and only) dance, Anna wasn’t exactly feeling the disco fever. Ezra said he was all about those positive vibes, but Anna? Not so much. Apparently, things got so bad that after the press line, they lost her. Where was she? In the bathroom, crying. Yes, Anna Delvey, the woman who scammed half of Manhattan, was found having a sob fest in the ladies’ room because of… mean comments. Let that sink in.
Ezra, bless his optimistic little dancer heart, said it broke him to see her like that. You know, because nothing says “I’m tough” like being emotionally wrecked by online trolls after a foxtrot.
Anna Delvey’s brief foray into the world of ballroom dancing came, saw, and promptly moonwalked off into reality TV history—taking with her exactly what she brought: absolutely nothing.
