Get ready to cha-cha with Anna Delvey, the con artist trading her crime for cha-cha on 'Dancing With The Stars'!

In a plot twist that even Hollywood couldn't script, Anna Sorokin – aka Anna Delvey, the infamous fake heiress who charmed her way into New York's elite circles – is set to join the line-up of the 33rd season of 'Dancing With The Stars.' Known for her enthralling tale depicted in the Netflix series 'Inventing Anna,' Sorokin's latest venture involves donning sparkly outfits and cutting a rug on live television. But don't get too excited just yet; she'll be doing so while sporting an ankle monitor! Because, why not mix legality with a little rhythm, right?

Imagine this: the convicted con artist pirouetting across the stage while discussing the 'permission' she got from ICE to dance. "In what way would it affect my performance?" she asked, channeling a blend of boldness and sheer audacity that we've come to expect from her. Packed with glitter, drama, and perhaps an occasional side-eye from the judges, Anna's participation promises entertainment in spades, proving once again that reality television has no bounds or judgments when it comes to star power.

But wait, there’s more! Anna Delvey isn’t stopping at dancing. She plans to strut her stuff at New York Fashion Week (NYFW) too, alongside her high-profile TV appearance. The woman who once falsely built her reputation as a wealthy heiress is now trying her hand at fashion and fierce footwork, fully determined to make the most of her calendar. One can only wonder if her runway walk will include dramatic pauses for legal clarifications about her past!

As the season premiere approaches on September 17, questions are swirling not just about her dancing skills but also her house arrest. While she might have the moves, will she have the freedom? After all, Anna Delvey is far from the shittiest person to compete on the series, with a cast history that includes former athletes and even a few notorious figures. So, grab that popcorn; it looks like this con artist's journey from the courtroom to the dance floor is just getting started!

Did you know that Anna Sorokin was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in prison in 2019 for grand larceny and theft? Before her fall from grace, she managed to con her way into staying at luxury hotels without paying and even tricked banks into granting her loans as a faux heiress. It’s hard to image a more outrageous tale that blends crime with the glitz of fame while still keeping a rhythm to it! And as for 'Dancing With The Stars,' it's not the first time the show has embraced controversy—celebrities with checkered pasts have routinely taken center stage, proving that sometimes the biggest sins can bring in the biggest ratings.
