Rewarding sociopathy: convicted fraudster Anna Delvey is set to join Dancing with the Stars

She looks like she got some good pussy.

What the fuck are they thinking?

She seems presidential. Too bad she is foreign born. Or is she....

In Australia, an award-winning premiership footballer who had an eons-long meth addiction and a stay or two in prison is on the current season of DWTS.

I haven't seen it, but most people aren't fussed about a convicted wife-beater taking part. He also has a gig as a sports reporter.

These shows really scrape the bottom of the barrel.

Piano legs.

Is Andy Cohen now one of the producers?

They really are redefining/contorting the meaning of "celebrity," aren't they?

Rewarding ugliness inside and out

We’re testing the audience response before we debut our new show: Dancing With Convicted Family Annihilators

When are we getting Susan Smith? Chris Watts? You just know Aileen Wournos would have snapped at the judges.

That is embarrassing, R8. Politicians are not celebrities and having them on DWTS compromises the dignity of public office, because it sends the message that narcissists can satisfy their need for notoriety and attention (not to mention, mysteriously acquired wealth) by becoming elected officials and then, making the jump into show business. It's just not right.

R9 / R10, please don't give the producers any ideas. You know that they'd LOVE to do something like this for the publicity and ratings alone.

Ezra Sosa has been promoted to pro dancer this season and according to Variety, he unfortunately has been paired with Delvey.

I’ve ruined the entire world - eat my death 💀 crumbs for the rest of your lives!

Yes r12, he has! Ugh! His first big break and to be paired with her - they’ll be out the first week. He is such a cutie and I need to be there to console him lol

The show thread.

If it's any consolation, I have no clue who she is.

Did she ever pay back all the people she scammed? I wonder if her salary from this can be attached to the judgments against her?

Who the fuck are these people? Might be the worst cast ever.

If only Bernie Madoff was still alive!!!

this is fucked up. something is very wrong with the world and our society

George Santos would be perfect. He hasn't been sentenced yet!

Aren't there laws that prevent convicted criminals from profiting off their crimes? Appearing on DWTS may not be part of her crime, but her widespread public notoriety from the egregiousness of her crimes is the only reason she was cast.

I'm with R17. If she's going to be on the show and accordingly we're to suffer yet another hit to our cultural and moral decorum, then her earnings should be entirely garnished and put toward restitution of her victims.

Hey, they could of had Jeffrey Dahmer, the problem of course is that his partner would show up missing their arms and legs.

R9 😂

From the Vanity Fair article at OP:

[quote] According to CNN, she's now seeking asylum in the US, as “There is evidence that demonstrates she would be deported from Germany to Russia and be persecuted,” attorney John Sandweg says.

Clearly she's just another of Russia's many bad seeds wrought by decades of corrupt communist rule and widespread poverty. Send her damaged goods ass back to Putin. If he doesn't persecute her as allegedly feared, he can conscript her into his losing war in Ukraine. We don't need the likes of her among the rest of us in the civilized world.

Here she is with Kelly at a market. Can someone please tell me why Kelly has a career? I don’t think she’s talented but her brusque persona makes people think she is. She looks like a Pet Rock.

Mafuckin and his big snout have entered the chat

Was Bill Cosby too busy?

Agree, r25.

This is beyond the pale, in all seriousness. She ruined lives.

R11? Spicer is a reject from the Trump administration.

Magats don't do dignity, respect or American democracy!

This sucks - she should not be given an audience.

I wonder what would happen if there was a writing campaign to stop her from performing? Fuck this.

She has to wear an ankle monitor.

Son of Sam laws?

Seriously Deport it.

That's a ham leg. Oink oink.

Maybe they could get that Theranos bitch, Elizabeth Holmes, paroled and on the show.

Why not Scott Peterson?

[quote] she's branching out beyond the Manhattan/art/Instagram personal brand communicated by the Netflix drama about her exploits

It's really hard to imagine anyone would care!

Boycott the advertisers of the program, the Fraus can start a movement...it's worked before

I'm sick of DWTS putting on these polarizing figures as a gimmick. Fuck them.

Why is she still in this country again?

Revisiting the film NETWORK…

Nobody I know watches this show

What the fuck does she do for a living? How does she support herself?

Can't believe ABC thinks this POS loser is any kind of audience draw. I can't decide who'll get tossed first, this gross crook or gross Tori Spelling.

To be fair, it's never really been DWtS, more like Dancing With the D-List Has Beens.

R46 That’s actually not true. My nappy headed stepmom used to always watch this shit. Them early seasons often the winner was a very popular NFL star.

I am see Tori befriending her and becoming bffs.

Watching Tori alternately do her giggly self deprecating schtick or try-hard, serious glam persona would be entertaining.

The Gaggle speaks about it on The View.

*can

“ In a bizarre twist of reality TV, notorious serial killer Aileen Wuornos is resurrected to compete on *Dancing with the Stars*. The audience watches in stunned silence as she steps onto the glittering stage, paired with a charismatic professional dancer who seems more nervous than usual. The judges, clearly unsettled, struggle to maintain their composure as Wuornos moves stiffly through a tango routine, her piercing gaze fixed on the camera. The surreal juxtaposition of her dark past with the glitzy, carefree atmosphere leaves viewers grappling with an eerie sense of discomfort, as the show tries to play it off as just another night of entertainment.”

[Quote] [R11]? Spicer is a reject from the Trump administration.

Look it’s that lesbian again

New York Mag had an article on her with pics some years back. She appears much pudgier now, so a little hoofing won't hurt her.

Look at video at r26–she is not pudgy. The assistants behind Anna are pudgy.

once again, how the fuck does she support herself?
