Anna Delvey defends her controversial ‘nothing’ remark after 'DWTS' elimination: 'That was the truth'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Anna Delvey has broken her silence after being brutally bashed for the final remark she made after being eliminated from ‘Dancing With The Stars’.

The con artist reportedly said that she learned “nothing” during her time on the reality dance show, leading to a lot of backlash from viewers online as well as from the judges.

Carrie Ann Inaba blasts Anna Delvey

'Dancing With The Stars' judge Carrie Ann Inaba blasted Anna Delvey for her remarks and said, “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.”

“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 added.

Anna Delvey defends 'nothing' remark and calls judges’ advice ‘worthless’ 

Anna Delvey recently doubled down on her "nothing" comment as she told Tori Spelling during her Saturday, September 28, podcast ‘misSPELLING’, “Because that was the truth. I think, like, well, you guys told me what I’m supposed to do. I tried to do it, and then I still was rejected.” 

“I’m taking away nothing – is what I’m taking away from it because your advice was worthless. The advice that you gave me did not pay off for me, even though I tried to follow it and this is how I felt,” she asserted, according to Access.

Not only that, the 33-year-old convicted fraudster went on to further slam the show as she noted, “I thought, like, ‘Well, they were building me up.’ It’s like, ‘Well, only if you smile more, only if you do X, Y, Z, it’s going to be so much better.’"

“It felt like they put so much effort in trying to get me on the show and make me feel comfortable, just to eliminate me this early. I see it, yeah, like an attempt of an embarrassment for us to get eliminated before Eric [Roberts] or Reginald [VelJohnson] in a dancing competition. Even though in the end it’s not that big of a deal,” Delvey continued.

Referring to VelJohnson, Delvey stated, “He's a great person, and he's a cultural icon, but he's not a good dancer. And I thought I signed up for a dancing competition and not a popularity competition — who is the most well-liked person in Hollywood.”

Anna Delvey felt her 'DWTS' stint was a ‘waste of time’

Anna Delvey also expressed her disappointment over the show as she noted, “It felt like a waste of time for me to do all this for them to just discard me so easily.”

“I know the show was very excited to have me on, but the large part of the audience is not the people who would usually be excited about me in general,” she added.

Internet says Anna Delvey ‘should be in prison’ after her remark on 'DWTS'

Meanwhile, people online have once again blasted Anna Delvey for defending her statement about 'Dancing With The Starts'.

An X user tweeted, “Deport her now since  she should have been when she was convicted.”

Another commented, “Stop idolizing criminals. That’s how we needed up with Trump. They grift and you give them another channel to get new victims.”

One person asked, “Why can't people be honest and just say ‘You know what? I have a low IQ. Please don't ask me to say anything intelligent.’ That would be so refreshing, wouldn't it?”

“This why you don’t give spoiled people a platform. Much less a convict!” another stated.

One viewer said, “Let's get this straight #AnnaDelvey a convicted felon on house arrest was offered to go on #DWTS giving her an opportunity to show a different reformed side of her Instead she proves shes an ungrateful🤬that left the show w her rude ‘nothing’ & now blaming them for exploiting her.”

Another individual added, “She should be in prison, not on TV. Or deported.”
