Anna Delvey shocked her ‘Dancing With the Stars’ partner with this one-word response

Warning: Spoilers for the Sept. 24, 2024 episode of “Dancing With the Stars” ahead.
Anna Delvey has been cut from this season of “Dancing with the Stars” and she had a pretty blunt response to being eliminated.
Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, was one of the first celebrities to be cut from the competition show’s 33rd season.
She and her partner, pro Ezra Sosa, were eliminated in the Sept. 24 episode. Delvey and Sosa earned a score of 17/30 dancing to “Suddenly I See” by KT Tunstall on Tuesday evening. Though their score wasn’t the lowest — the show also takes fan votes into account — the two were still cut. Tori Spelling and her pro, Pasha Pashkov, were also sent home.
When asked what she would take from her experience on the show, Delvey deadpanned a one word response: “Nothing.”
The blunt response seemed to surprise Sosa, who raised his eyebrows and laughed.
The shows hosts, Julianna Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro, also laughed off her comment as the show credits rolled.
“You had fun, stop it, stop it,” Ribeiro replied.
Going into her second episode, Delvey had been seemingly upset by the lukewarm reception she got online from show fans last week.
In a TikTok on Monday ahead of the show, Sosa revealed that Delvey had cried in a bathroom following her “DWTS” debut.
“On my end, I was feeling so much positivity,” he said in the video. “On my partner’s end, she wasn’t receiving the same. I think the hardest part of my day after (the) press line, she was reading the comments and we couldn’t find her. They finally found her in the bathroom. She was crying. I’ve never seen her like that, and it broke my heart.”
Ahead of her Sept. 24 performance, Delvey explained what had happened.
“After dancing I was really happy but when I went online, I was reading all these comments and I just felt really upset,” she said in a pre-recorded segment. “I’m used to people who feel negatively about me. I get upset for a short moment of time but then I just move on.”
Delvey made headlines in 2018 after she was arrested for posing as a German heiress and swindling banks, hotels and regular people out of more than $200,000. She served two years in prison for her financial crimes and was released on parole in February 2021.
Her name really entered the American lexicon following a Netflix show based on her story that was released in 2022, “Inventing Anna.”
