“I served my time and paid everyone back in full three-plus years ago,” the con artist said.

 

 

Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa Farah Griffin aren’t happy about Anna Delvey’s forthcoming appearance on Dancing With the Stars — and now, the convicted criminal is speaking out against their criticism.

Anna Delvey demands correction from The View after cohosts criticized her Dancing With the Stars casting: 'Get your facts straight'

Following the announcement that the con artist would compete on season 33 of DWTS, Griffin claimed on The View that Delvey “still owes people money, and con artists tend to remain con artists, so I would just say if you’re around her there, I would be wary of the schemes she might be working.”

Meanwhile, Goldberg said, “I don’t understand why she gets to stay” in the country because “I’m listening to people bitch about what’s going on at the border, and I listen to people bitch about all these people who shouldn’t be here, what the hell, man? How does this work?”

 

 

 

In a statement to PageSix, Delvey responded to the View cohosts’ critiques. “While you are entitled to your own opinions, you should at least get your facts straight,” she said. “I served my time and paid everyone back in full three-plus years ago. Looking forward to your on-air correction. Stay nasty ladies, but don’t forget to vote September 17th!” (in reference to her first day on DWTS.)

Reps for Delvey, Goldberg, and Griffin did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly’s request for comment.

 

 

 

Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, was found guilty of stealing over $200,000 from wealthy individuals and banks in 2019. The Russian-born con artist posed as a fake German heiress, and was convicted of eight charges, including attempted grand larceny in the first degree, grand larceny in the second degree, grand larceny in the third degree, and theft of services.

 

 

 

 

Delvey was sentenced to four to 12 years in prison, ultimately serving just under four by the time she was released in February of 2021. She was also ordered to pay around $200,000 in restitution. The Wall Street Journal reported that City National Bank N.A successfully secured $100,000 from Delvey’s frozen assets in 2020, and Insider reported that she paid $70,000 in restitution to CitiBank using funds from her Netflix deal.

Netflix paid Delvey $320,000 for the rights that allowed the streamer to produce Inventing Anna, a miniseries starring Julia Garner as the fake heiress.

 

 

 

Delvey explained how she’s able to compete on DWTS in Los Angeles while she’s under house arrest in New York. “They offered it to me, then I had to get permission from ICE to be able to travel out of state and that took about 10 days,” Delvey told EW. “I didn’t really know until very last minute if I was going to able to do it or not, and then it was kind of too late to say no, so, I’m just here

 

 

Delvey’s pro partner on the show, newcomer Ezra Sosa, said that he has plans to embrace the con artist’s shaky legal status. “I’m going to rhinestone her ankle monitor,” Sosa declared. “Obviously! It’s Dancing With the Stars! What do you expect?”
