Anna Delvey insults Dancing With the Stars partner during finale rehearsals
- During rehearsals for the finale of 'Dancing With the Stars', Anna Delvey famously flipped off her partner Ezra Sosa.
- She was eliminated from the show early but was allowed to participate in the finale despite her legal troubles.
- Delvey criticized the show for exploiting her situation, raising questions about the ethics of her participation.
In the United States on November 25, 2024, convicted felon Anna Delvey participated in rehearsals for the Season 33 finale of 'Dancing With the Stars.' During a TikTok video shared by her partner, Ezra Sosa, Delvey jokingly lifted her middle fingers in response to a pre-recorded audio prompt about people in the prison system, claiming she knew only two. Although Delvey and Sosa were eliminated from the competition early in the season, she had received special permission to travel from New York City, where she was on house arrest, to participate in the show despite her ongoing immigration case that could send her back to Germany. Delvey had previously criticized the show for what she perceived as exploitation for ratings and had a controversial interaction with Sosa regarding his decision to get a 'nothing' tattoo in honor of her nonchalant attitude towards the competition.
