‘DWTS’ Fans Give The Casting Of Anna Delvey Grudging Approval

Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) gained a reputation for casting controversial competitors and initially, many ABC fans were shocked because Season 33 will have Anna Delvey in it. However, it seems that as time goes by, some people start to give their approval to pro-dancer Ezra Sosa’s partner.

Of course, nobody was all that shocked to hear that Bachelor Joey Graziadei and Bachelorette Jenn Tran were chosen for Season 33. These days it’s almost a rite of passage for the ABC stars. In fact, Hannah Brown won the Mirror Ball Trophy and so did Kaitlyn Bristowe. 

As it’s an Olympic year, the casting of Stephen Nedoroscik was not a shocker either. Sports personalities are becoming more routinely cast, which is why Dwight Howard, Danny Amendola, Brooks Nader, and Ilona Maher are in the lineup. The rest are known faces from various movies and shows. And then, there’s Anna Delvey.

Who Is Anna Delvey?

People who watch Netflix know of Anna. Plus, those people who cared followed the trial of the Russian con artist in the news. Convicted for scamming plenty of people out of money while posing as a wealthy heiress, she was convicted, jailed, and released on parole in 2021.

Despite overstaying her visa, Anna Delvey, originally known as Anna Sorokin somehow managed to stay in the USA. And now she gets a chance to win the coveted Dancing With the Stars Mirror Ball Trophy. Naturally, some people, wondered if the casting director for ABC had lost her mind.
