Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) judge Carrie Ann Inaba, 56, was taken aback by Anna Delvey’s elimination shade on Wednesday. The convicted felon contested in the 33rd season of the show but was sent home in the first round of double eliminations on September 25. After her elimination was announced, Delvey responded dismissively when asked for any takeaways.
Carrie Ann Inaba Slams Anna Delvey’s Elimination Comment
Delvey and her partner, Ezra Sosa, were eliminated along with actress Tori Spelling and Pasha Pashkov. During her post-elimination interview, Delvey said she would take “nothing” home from her time on DWTS. Anna Delvey’s elimination comment shocked Inaba, who reacted to it shortly after the event in a chat with Entertainment Weekly. Inaba said Delvey’s comment took her aback.
“That was dismissive not only of the opportunity she was given, of her wonderful and supportive partner Ezra in his debut season, but also of all of us who work on the show-from the dancers to behind the scenes to the creative team,” the judge continued. “We all put in the effort to give her a fair opportunity. But I don’t think she could see that and it’s a shame. A little gratitude could have changed the narrative,” she concluded.
Anna Delvey Doubles Down On Her Comment
Meanwhile, Anna Delvey was not remorseful about her comment. The ‘fake heiress’ reposted a clip of her saying she had gained nothing on Instagram. Meanwhile, Annan Delvey’s elimination comment wasn’t her first snarky comment about DWTS. In the post-interview she told co-host Julianne Hough she was ‘happy’ she wouldn’t have to ‘do this again.’
Delvey occasionally displayed her aloof attitude in interviews after her prison sentence. Also, the con artist did not show remorse for her crimes after scamming New York’s upper elites, institutions, and businesses out of almost $300,000. In one interview, she claimed to have no patience for “people’s stupidity.” Delvey also maintained that she was innocent of the charges leveled against her.
Ezra Sosa Defends Anna Delvey’s Elimination Comment
After Anna Delvey’s elimination, she received a lot of backlash on social media. Several people felt that Sosa deserved better, especially as it was his first season as a pro dancer. Anna Delvey’s elimination statement further worsened the situation. However, Sosa defended her and said he expected nothing less of an Anna Delvey attitude. He shared that he knew Anna Delvey’s elimination statement would be “very iconic” and “very Anna Delvey.”
Sosa had often defended his dance partner while they were both on the show. Before Anna Delvey’s elimination, he appealed to people to give her “some grace.” Sosa posted a video on Instagram revealing that he found his dance partner crying in the bathroom. The pro dancer said it broke his heart to see her that way. Although he didn’t support her past actions, he wanted her to have a good time on the show. Sosa further said his inability to do so was heartbreaking. The pro dancer also revealed that Delvey kept apologizing backstage about getting him eliminated early.
Conclusion
Anna Delvey’s elimination means that Ezra Sosa’s first season ended quite early. Sosa noted afterward that he hoped to have had more time with her on stage. That way, she would be able to show who she really is. Nevertheless, he claimed he had fun dancing with Delvey. Hopefully, the pro dancer will have better luck next time.
