Anna Delvey’s Surprising TV Comeback
Anna Delvey’s journey to reality television began in 2019 when she was sent to prison for a series of complex fraud schemes. By posing as a rich heiress, she managed to trick many people and businesses in New York, stealing a large sum of money before being caught and sentenced to prison. Her story gained national attention and was later turned into a Netflix series called Inventing Anna.
After serving her prison sentence, Anna Delvey was released in 2021 but was placed under house arrest while the U.S. authorities reviewed her immigration status. She was required to wear an ankle monitor and was restricted to her home. However, her restrictions have recently been relaxed, allowing her to travel and work within a 70-mile radius of her home.
Delvey’s entry into Dancing with the Stars is a surprising move for someone with a criminal past. While she is not the first contestant on the show with a controversial background, she is unique in that her fame comes from her illegal activities. Despite still being under partial house arrest, Delvey has been granted special permission to travel to Los Angeles, where the show is filmed.
Though the show’s producers have not officially confirmed her participation, Delvey is reportedly preparing to travel to Los Angeles in the coming days to start rehearsals. Her involvement in the show has already generated a lot of buzz, with fans curious to see how she will perform in the competitive world of ballroom dancing.
Beyond her appearance on Dancing with the Stars, Delvey has been involved in other projects to rebuild her public image. She recently co-founded the OutLaw Agency, a fashion public relations firm, with well-known fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone. The agency is expected to make its debut at Fashion Week, marking Delvey’s first major public appearance since her release from house arrest.
