Who knew Anna Delvey had dance moves? The infamous con artist gets ready to pirouette her way into our hearts (ankle monitor and all) this season!

Anna Delvey, better known by her real name, Anna Sorokin, is making headlines once again, but this time it’s not for her infamous scams or high-profile legal troubles. The German-born con artist is set to join the cast of the upcoming season of "Dancing With The Stars" (DWTS) on September 17, 2023. Delvey, who previously captured the public’s attention in Netflix's drama series "Inventing Anna," is now stepping into the spotlight, ready to take center stage and—if we’re lucky—maybe even land a few twirls while wearing her distinctive ankle monitor. Yes, you read that right! Watching her cha-cha while being closely monitored might just be the ultimate reality show experience.

But how did Delvey score a spot on the beloved dancing competition? According to her, she received special permission from ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to participate despite still being under house arrest following her release. Delvey made a cheeky statement about her situation, quipping, “In what way would it affect my performance?” With her undeniable charm, the faux heiress is shrugging off her past and ready to put her best foot forward, potentially leaving us all questioning whether con artistry and sophisticated ballet share common ground.

Let’s not forget Delvey isn’t the only controversial contestant this season. Joining her is basketball legend Dwight Howard and influencer Jenn Tran. Delvey’s antics, scandalous lifestyle, and captivating narrative have kept her in the spotlight, so it’ll be interesting to see how she dances alongside other stars. But with her tumultuous past, will she manage to steal the show or merely trip over her own lies? One thing’s for sure; it’s bound to be a jaw-dropping spectacle across television screens this fall.

As the season approaches, fans can't help but wonder what else this fake heiress has planned! Besides her dancing debut, Delvey is reportedly slated to walk the runway for New York Fashion Week and engage in other high-profile activities this month. Talk about a comeback tour! Just when you thought you had heard it all, Anna Sorokin proves that all publicity is good publicity. And remember, dance is just like con artistry—both require skill, a bit of deception, and a whole lot of charisma!
