Most Controversial Cast-Member
Perhaps the most surprising and controversial figure on the list is Anna Delvey, who is described in a press release as the “notorious ankle bracelet fashionista.” Indeed, she’s been wearing an ankle bracelet since October of 2022, when she began her house arrest.
Delvey was arrested back in 2017 for defrauding major financial institutions, banks, hotels, and friends out of more than $250,000. While pretending to be the daughter of a German oil tycoon, she used this money to fund her luxury lifestyle.
Delvey was sentenced to four to twelve years in prison after being convicted of eight charges, including attempted grand larceny, larceny in the second degree, and theft of services.
Delvey was released in February of 2021, but she then spent over a year in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after she overstayed her visa. Her story was the inspiration for the Netflix show Inventing Anna, which was produced by the Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes.
Delvey is still under house arrest, but has been given special permission to compete on Dancing With The Stars.
It will certainly be interesting to see how this season turns out! Be sure to tune in to the Dancing With The Stars season 33 premiere on ABC and Disney+ at 8pm EST on September 17.
