“A reminder of her criminal past,” that’s how some viewers described an ankle monitor worn by Anna Delvey, an infamous con artist and fraudster, on her appearance on Tuesday’s night Dancing With the Stars (August 17).
Presented as “an artist, fashion icon and infamous NYC socialite,” the Russian-born Anna Sorokin took to the floor wearing a bejeweled version of the security device she had to wear after being found guilty of eight charges, including grand larceny and theft.
Delvey debuted with what some media outlets have labeled as a “mediocre cha-cha performance.” The response to her appearance was notably cold, especially compared to the enthusiastic reactions for Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik and rugby star Ilona Maher.
