Anna Delvey may have just invented a new way to compete in Dancing with the stars.

The Inventing Anna subject – who was convicted of theft after allegedly posing as a German heiress and stealing thousands of dollars from New York’s elite to fund her lavish lifestyle – has been linked to a professional dancer Ezra Sosa in season 33 of the ABC dance competition. The network announced her casting on September 4 and previewed the “notorious ankle bracelet fashionista’s” debut on the September 17 premiere.

And though Anna was recently under house arrest in her Manhattan apartment for overstaying her visa, she’s still able to personally participate in filming for the upcoming season in Los Angeles.

As she revealed to E! News in an exclusive interview, “I was waiting for permission from ICE to leave the state,” but noted that otherwise she still has travel restrictions. (For more with Anna, tune in to E! News tonight September 4th at 11pm)

But this isn’t Anna’s first foray into reality TV since her release from prison in 2022. Last month, she made a cheeky cameo in a promo for USA Network’s strategic competition series The Anonymous.
