Anna “Delvey” Sorokin, a high-society scammer turned competitive dancer, was eliminated from ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” after her first-round performance. Despite backlash over her casting, Sorokin felt exploited by the show for ratings and never given a fair chance to succeed. Convicted in 2019 of financial fraud, Sorokin participated in the show while facing an ongoing immigration case. Viewers criticized ABC for glamorizing a felon, with some accusing the network of giving her special treatment. Sorokin admitted she was hesitant to join the show and experienced overwhelming online hate following her appearance. While expressing regret for her past actions, she called for a second chance to move on with her life. Her dance partner, Ezra Sosa, defended her against online negativity and advocated for her to be treated more compassionately. Despite the negative experience, Sorokin said she hopes the actor Reginald VelJohnson will win the show, but she does not plan to continue watching. Sorokin’s appearance on the show sparked controversy and discussion about the treatment of convicted felons in the media and society.
