It looks like Anna Delvey might be trading in her con artist credentials for some cha-cha-cha shoes! That’s right, the 33-year-old professional bamboozler (and amateur Kardashian wannabe) is rumored to be hitting the dance floor on the new season of Dancing with the Stars! Just imagine: from prison stripes to salsa steps. Truly, an arc of redemption that not even Netflix could script (oh wait, they did).
For those out of the loop, Anna’s been lounging under house arrest for nearly two years. But don’t be fooled by her ankle monitor—it could soon double as a high-tech metronome. According to sources from Page Six, she’s packing her bags (hopefully not full of stolen designer clothes) and is already en route to LA to start waltzing and quick-stepping her way into our hearts—or at least into some decent TV ratings.
In a twist only fit for reality TV, it seems the conditions of her house arrest have miraculously relaxed just in time for her to jet off to the City of Angels. She’s now free to dance her way out of a 70-mile radius around New York City, which, last we checked, doesn’t quite cover the 2,790 miles to Los Angeles. But hey, who’s counting when there’s tango training on the line?
Before you start bedazzling your handcuffs in excitement, let’s not forget—DWTS hasn’t officially confirmed Anna’s casting. But then again, when has minor technicalities ever stopped Ms. Delvey before? She’s been outsmarting systems and swindling socialites for years, so one little announcement shouldn’t stand in her way.
As for the rest of the Dancing crew, Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik (try saying that name three times fast) has already been announced, and pro dancer Witney Carson will be returning to the ballroom. However, Artem Chigvintsev and Peta Murgatroyd won’t be gracing us with their presence this season, possibly because they heard about Anna joining and wisely decided to sit this one out.
Stay tuned for more updates on what could be the greatest fusion of criminal history and cha-cha since Al Capone learned the Charleston!
